I’m sure I’ll hate myself for asking, but what is “the” Protestant worldview?

"had it not been for Protestant overreaction to exaggerated papal claims, virtually nobody would have ever thought that the rock referred to Peter's faith. It's clearly a reference to Peter." And I said, "I've never heard that before!" Then I went over to R.T. France, and I read that, and I said, "is he quoting Carson?" He said virtually the same thing! And I was stunned. And I began to make some phone calls, and I found out that in New Testament scholarship, this is becoming the consensus position! Peter is the rock, not Peter's confession. It's straightforward.

Hmmmmm, there may be a lot of people coming Home soon.

Seriously, I see people seeking truth, the mainline churches are barely limping along. People are searching and many of them are finding designer churches that teach what they want to believe or churches full of emotion with a charismatic leader but many of them are finding their home in the church of Our Lord, it is good.
