You’re the only person who has mentioned Baptists. More deflection.

The facts are that this country is over 50% Protestant.

26% of the U.S. is Evangelical Protestant.

24% of the U.S. is Roman Catholic.

Do you doubt those numbers?

“You’re the only person who has mentioned Baptists.”

Just giving a list of largest “denominations” in America.

The fact is that Catholicism is the largest “denomination” in America and in the world and to deny it is foolish.

26% of the U.S. is Evangelical Protestant.

And yet your cult, the OPC is neither Evangelical nor truly Christian. Stop pretending to speak for our Protestant Christian brethern.

Protestants are Christians -- the OPC is not.

The OPC, that minuscule cult that says that Pentecostals and Methodists are damnable heretics who follow the gospel of Satan are dwindling -- from the 1930s when it was formed, through the two splits (and the third upcoming), it is 20,000 people in total

it's no wonder that people leave this cult (a larger version of the Westboro BC) -- the OPC is founded on hate, not on the love of Christ

Your group desperately tries to claim that it speaks for all Protestants, but it does not -- we know the facts, your group's very website spouts it's hatred against all those who are not in this OPC.

WPaCon mentioned Baptists who are Christians and of course, the OPC is not even mentioned (perhaps it should be listed under the non-Christian cults section?) -- and we have seen OPC posters spouting their hatred of Baptists and saying things like The problem with non-denominational churches is that there's nothing to stop the congregation from deciding to become Mormon or Unitarian, etc.
There is something to be said for a diagonal form of church structuring, like the Presbyterians -- organized by a representative group of congregants. This actually strengthens the Christian imperative rather than dilutes it as so many non-denominational churches tend to do.

We know how much the OPC hates Baptists and Pentecostals

The OPC says this about the Baptists and Pentecostals that The problem with non-denominational churches is that there's nothing to stop the congregation from deciding to become Mormon or Unitarian, etc
