“5 Kinds of Christians - Understanding the disparity of those who
call themselves Christian”

There are LOTS of “flavors” of Christian practice/observance.

C.S. Lewis described this situation with the “Great Hall” imagery...
the Great Hall to represent the fundamentals that all Christians
agree upon, then the doors of the great hall to represent the huge
constellation of variations in traditions and varying beliefs/concepts.
(I think that was in “Mere Christianity”.)

Hear Hear!

Private Christian according to the thread starters, voracious Bible reader, Charity in private as the Scripture instructs, no interest in being a Church leader or particularly attending a Church regularly.

Church politics and other things simply turn my stomach at how unScriptural those things are in fact.
