That is one of the problems with dealing with even labelled Protestants. Since each one self-determines his own theology, it is difficult to carry on a conversation about theology, since the labels differ, meanings differ, and definitions differ.

I am not saying that your definitions differ over time; you appear to me to be quite constant. I am saying that it is difficult coming from a mindset of constant definitions - A means A - to debate with a mixture of people with a mixture of definitions. And many of them have relative definitions which do fluctuate according to time, the weather, or simply their theological whim.

To the heresies?
