". . . only the Lutherans, Presybterians, Reformed and Anglicans are really the "Protestants"."

These folks migrated back to the original three groups whatever they call themselves because they tell the same lies and half-truths and place more importance on being anti-Catholic than on being Christian.

Exactly, that is why we should refrain from calling these folks as Protestants -- they are not Protestants. the "Protestants" are those belonging to the original 3 groups that broke away from the Western Church -- namely Lutherans, Calvinists (Presbyterians, Reformed) and the Anglicans

All the future groups that broke away from them -- like the 3rd generation of reformatters included the Unitarians (in the 16th century) and the Wesleyans (in the 18th century) and the anabaptists (in the 16th century) are not strictly speaking "Protestant" but have their own tradition, their own beliefs etc. --> example the Oneness Pentecostals who reject the Trinity

So, don't refer to the posters on this thread (most of whom are not Lutherans nor Calvinists (Presbyterians, Reformed) nor Anglicans ), do not refer to them as Protestants -- they are varied individuals with varied beliefs -- some Swedenborgian, some anti-Trinitarian, some whatever

some whatever they have decided to be today --> remember that there's a lot of change happening. Next week the North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism is due to split into the Central-North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism and the Central-Southern-North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism, but this is good driven as there as a dispute in the Congregation on matters of doctrine, Bobama thought that he should be Preach-pasto-Prophet Elder on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and alternate Sundays while Michelle thought that she should be that -- as she had yoga-pilates-kickboxing class on Thursdays.
