I think one of the things I find oddest about many Protestants on FR is that they seem to think that their beliefs are held by most other Protestants and this is absolutely not true.

Got to take off those Rose colored glasses.

It's been said numerous times over the years, but I'll say it again. The unity among Evangelicals is our belief in The Gospel. After that we may have a lot of different opinions, but we stand united in our belief in The Gospel and because of it we are the Body of Christ.

Odd how I use the term Protestant and you switch to Evangelical. I would have to say that the vast majority of Protestants would not call themselves and could not be described as Evangelicals in the American sense.

As far as your belief in the Gospel, if you get far beyond the Apostles Creed or Nicene Creed (both of which Catholics and Orthodox also believe), you will find a great deal of disagreement.

After that we may have a lot of different opinions, but we stand united in our belief in The Gospel and because of it we are the Body of Christ.

The beliefs are often quite conflicting and anything but unified. Would you care to explain how High Church Anglicans and Southern Baptists have "unified" beliefs about the Eucharist or Baptism?

Does the Gospel include that observing the Lord's Day is a grievous violation of His commandments?
