Hi Dave. Question -- are Swedenborgians Protestants?

Our freepers like Rn, metmom, jllh, fishtank, theo get me confused about who would be clubbed under that umbrella term Protestant?

Jesus would be considered a Protestant.

Against whom did He point most of his righteous anger? Toward the corruption of the church that the Godhead had established.

I join Jesus in defying such corruption, and in calling men and women to repentance and faith in Christ alone.

[Theo]

You are mistaken. You think salvation is found in a “club.”

No, salvation and life are found within Christ.

Johnny Appleseed was a Swedenborgian.

I regard non Catholic Christians who are not Eastern Orthodox as Protestants in general. How they farther divide into sects is a bit more complicated and depends both on their historic orgin and their current doctrine.
But for simplicity I use Protestant or if I know they are Calvinist “Reformed.”

I really dislike labels. 'Protestant' would be inaccurate because Swedenborg scribed a New Christianity -- Heavenly Doctrines. Many of the old or incorrect teachings were cast aside.
