I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's time that we stop calling every religion under the sun that claims to be Christian a "Christian" religion.

Christianity has a history of belief which can be found throughout through two millenium. In other words, if you think what you believe is Christian, find historic proof that your belief has in fact, been a very long held belief. And I'm not talking about the last five hundred years either. And no, I'm not talking about heresies or schism which may be similiar to protestism. I'm talking unbroken belief.

If you can't find historic proof which spans both millineums, then you really can't call what you believe a Christian belief. It is a protestant belief invented by man (or derived/perverted by man from historic Christianity).

Please do not refer to your beliefs as Christian. They are protestant, not Christian.

That does not however, mean that there can't be ecuminism. Christ will work through all of us.

Once again, elitism pure and simple. You don't look in history to find a Christian. You look in the Word of God. I am a Christian according to the Word of God. Only you and God, through his Word can speak to whether you are a Christian or not. It has nothing to do with the organization you belong to.

In other words, if you think what you believe is Christian, find historic proof that your belief has in fact, been a very long held belief.

Stupid me. I thought you just had to follow the Bible.
