I have noticed that they seldom if ever post or use the official positions of any of the Protestant denominations but only use their misrepresentations or what they would like to portray Protestants to believe.
Odd - you want people to “post or use the official positions of any of the Protestant denominations” but you claim that such things do not exist?
How do you get away with such odd claims?
Of course they exist. I have never stated otherwise. What you don't seem to comprehend (not that I'm surprised) is that I don't "belong" to nor am I a part of those denominations. Anyone who understands what the body of Christ or the assembly of Christ really is would understand that.
It's only odd understandings of what others say that lead to the error that either CB or I claim *such things do not exist*>
Virtually every denomination has a statement of faith. That does not mean they are *the one true church*. It merely means that they have a statement of faith about what they believe.
Here are a few for your perusal.
