You can call yourself whatever you want, just know, if you tell people you are not protestant they will believe you are either Catholic or Orthodox.

That was an interesting article, particularly this quip: "Such movements have been observed among a number of religious groups, most notably among Jews, Muslims and Hindus." I would argue the Jews already serve the same God as I do, they don't have to change anything except believing in Christ...
I think Lloren makes a valid point about control. Dos, and others who are 5 pointers, do you think God is completely in control of everything we do, like he is guiding my fingers right now as I type, thinking for me, moving me like a puppet?
Well, we have now all suggested what "other people" believe (I did this to) but does anyone here actually put emotion or experience above scripture? I would say we have a pretty good sampling of protestants here, if we all speak for ourselves I think we can have a good survey of protestants...
Wolman, no need to split ways unless thats what you want, I am enjoying our discourse =D
As far as the King James Version, I love the KJV and have no problem using it as our standard for conversation moving forward. Just like you said, it's not perfect, but I do think it is one of the most...
What on Earth are you talking about? Who is 'Slinging Guns'? Personally I feel the conversation between Wolfman and myself, while passionate, has been professional and helpful.
Which Bible??? The Holy One...
No, none of that is true. There is only one Bible, God's true Word as given through prophets and apostles. The Bible says neither "Who soever believeth" nor does it say "all the believing ones", what it does say is "πᾶς πιστεύω". You are inappropriately using...
Oh, haha, I was not offended by that post in the least, I took it seriously at face value. You and I are from the South where people don't often throw around the word "Pastor". But I now live in Seattle Washington where everyone thinks they are qualified to speak as pastors. I would have asked...
I just want to be clear here, I am less offended by the generalization as I am with the fact that you suggested Pentecostals hold experience above scripture. I was never offended by the generalization, I just wanted to point out it was not entirely correct. I am sorry if you thought I was...
I don't think anyone was doing that. Wolf asked for my credentials, so I gave them. And considering we were having a conversation about denominations I think the credentials that wolf talked about in his post were relevant.
Why can it no be that: Christ died so that all men everywhere could have salvation. Christ did not die so that all men everywhere would have salvation.?
Can you be more specific? I am a Baptist pastor who speaks in tongues, sings and tongues, and believes in the translation of tongues. My wife is our worship leader and relies only on the Holy spirit when picking out worship music. Thrice a month we have worship night where no worship music is...
