American Christianity in 2026 looks vastly different than the Christianity of first-century believers. That is, of course, to be expected when considering such things as centuries of schisms and arguments, the rise of science and technology, modern individualism, etc. Whatever tradition or denomination you may be a part of, one hint remains true throughout history: the Church has, is, and will be challenged to rid itself of false teachers. This is not foreign to the Church of the New Testament.
