i’ve certainly been criticized before for lumping anapatists like the quakers and shakers into protestantism (though i’m still confused why they wouldn’t be they were as influence by the ‘reformers’ as anybody...)

I don't particularly care what you do, as I do not care one whit if someone is a Catholic or a Protestant or whatever they want to call themselves as long as they claim they are bought by Christ. I am a Christian first and foremost. The salvation of men does not reside in any man or group of men. It resides in Christ and Christ alone. I do not look to my Church for my salvation. I look only to Christ.

It seems to me that you place most of your hope in your membership in the Orthodox Church. You seem to believe that it is that membership that has saved you. That may not be the impression that you want to leave, but that is the impression that I get from reading your posts.

The Church of Christ is bigger than your exclusive little club. You may not like that, but that is the truth. Believe it or not, there are Lutherans who are Christians. Get used to the idea. Your going to have to spend eternity with a whole bunch of them and you may even end up occupying a mansion next door to Luther.
