A rebellious teenager leaves the Pentecostal church and starts living "in the world".  He listens to rock music and heavy metal, drinks alcohol, and has many non-Christian friends.  One night, the teen and his friends are in a car.  They have been drinking.  Suddenly, one of them starts to chant, "Ten miles to hell . . . ten miles to hell . . . ten miles to hell . . ."  The others take up the chant, thinking that it is a joke.  As they pass a mile-marker, they change their chant:  "Nine miles to hell . . . nine miles to hell . . ."

 

The teens continue their countdown, all the time laughing and thinking it is a joke.  What they do not realize is that they are being taunted by demons.  The evil spirits are relishing their own victory, making the teenagers chant their own countdown to destruction. 

 

The teens reach the end of the countdown, and the car spins out of control, crashes, and all the teenagers in the car die instantly. 

Rebellious teen stories usually thrive in Pentecostal youth groups, as warnings against the dangers of rock music, worldly friends, and leaving the church.  Pentecostals often have difficulty preventing their young people from leaving churches, once they reach an age at which they can make some of their own decisions.  The fear induced by these stories is used to manipulate young people into staying in the church and away from "worldly" influences, by threatening their lives and their salvation.  

 

However, it is generally obvious that these stories are blatant lies.  In almost all of the stories, the teenager(s) in the car are said to have died instantly.  How then could anyone know what was going on in the car in the moments just before the accident?
