That’s hokey, Mark. You can do better than that.
We stand for true religon, the apostalic doctrine.
Standing upon false belief is no virtue.

Can you show me that you stand for apostolic doctrine? Please pardon me if I am not getting your particular branch of Protestantism correct. A gentle reminder, if you would?
The very definition of Protestantism is a protest against the Church. That is defining one’s self by what they are NOT. Not by defining one’s self by what they are. That is why Luther went one way, Zwingli in several others, and Calvin in yet another. They did not define what they thought until they defined what they were not. Then they felt at ease to construct their own particular theologies and move into power.
