Born-Again Poll Lists Gains by Asians
The percentage of Asian Americans who can be considered born-again Christians has increased significantly in the last decade, according to a new poll from the Ventura-based Barna Research Group.
In 1991, 5% of Asian Americans said they had made personal commitments to Jesus Christ and believed they would have eternal life because they accepted him as their savior. The figure increased to 27% in a recent poll, higher than the 23% figure for Latinos.
The nationwide random poll, taken of 1,002 adults in February, also found a significant shift in the growth of born-again Christians among those with higher incomes.
