I know that Mormons do not have proper baptism, so they cannot properly be called Christians, but for the purposes of my site and this site, it is classified as Protestant.

(FR labels it as "Other Christian" and I lump it in on my site as a "sect".)

So Mormons are not Christians, and are not Protestant Christians, but for the purposes of your dishonest blog and for the purposes of you labeling them as Jim Robinsons fellow Protestant Christians, you will continue to play your game.

Wait....you acknowledge mormonISM is not Christianity but are going to lump mormonS into a group called Protestants anyway?
The real question is why?

I know that Mormons do not have proper baptism, so they cannot properly be called Christians, but for the purposes of my site and this site, it is classified as Protestant.

So despite what defined Protestantism in contention for core Truths and distinctives, and despite what your church says in distinguishing Prots from Mormons, and despite what other RCs say, and despite what FR says (though you likely are ignorant of it), for polemical purposes (and apparently to get needed blog hits) you insist on labeling Mormons "Protestant" and essentially flaming them who contend against Mormons as non-Christian, far more than RCs.

Reminder from Jim Robinson: "Free Republic is a pro-God site. The one and only true Judeo-Christian God as taught to us by KJV with no additional editing or books of fiction..I have zero faith in Joseph Smith or his so-called Mormon religion and do not want it taught on FR as gospel Joe Smith was a false prophet and his book is false gospel (look it up in KJV). Those who cannot live with that are certainly free to post elsewhere."

Thank God JR sees what so many RCs will not.

However they reject Protestantism as much as, if not more than Catholicism.

Perhaps you should reclassify them.

FR labels it as "Other Christian.

I disagree with the person (JR?) that labeled mormonism on FR as "other Christian. There is a FR label in the "Religion Topics" "Other non-Christian" that better fits mormonism.

This article I’m a Mormon, Not a Christian rather spitefully addresses the topic.

I want to be on record about this. I’m about as genuine a Mormon as you’ll find — a templegoer with a Utah pedigree and an administrative position in a congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am also emphatically not a Christian. "I hope Mormonism eventually realizes that it doesn’t need Christianity’s approval and will get big and beat up all the imperious Christians who tormented it when it was small, weird and painfully self-conscious. Mormons are certainly Christian enough to know how to spitefully abuse their power."
