John,

It's interesting that they are called the 50 most influencial churches but the measurement they rely on isn't even biblical. It's just numbers!

Observations

Churches receiving the highest number of recommendations tend to be churches that offer conferences that share leadership, organizational, staffing and ministry principles, priorities and procedures with other church leaders. Eighteen of the 20 most frequently listed churches have at least one annual conference.

These measurements are all referring to business models not the marks of a true church. If churches are to be recognized as influential simply by these measurements then we might as well use books on how to grow your business.
