How many protestant denominations and non-denominational groups do you have now?

I'm not sure how many groups that are devoted to worshipping our Savior, but Christ is at the center of all of them that I know. Unlike the massive cult of roman Catholicism, we are led by the Holy Spirit in our individual lives. We don't place any worth or merit in praying to dead "saints", nor do we see any value in asking the woman who gave birth to Jesus to get His ear for us. We have His promise to approach Him on our own...

Sorry, but you can make all the obeisance to your upbringing, but it does nothing to advance God's plan of salvation. The Roman Catholic cult only serves to perpetuate the anti-God plan of Satan. If Satan can keep your attention on those graven idols and your worship of Mary, Jesus is just second fiddle in your perpetual orchestra...

Fail is all you have!

May the Lord open your eyes and cure you of your blindness, and teach you to love Him.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the company of saints in heaven we pray, amen.

How “Christian” of you/s. Sounds rather venomous to me - what you wrote, I mean.

WVK you forget I am a revert Catholic, I left for the Church for quite a while and the Grace of God drew me back in. All protestantism has going for it is "the feel goodism." Once that wears off you find a different group to switch to. It is warm and homey and gives you that feel good for the moment euphoria and then the gradual let down.

Then sooner or later the pastors wife or one of the church does or says something and there is a church split that takes 25 -50% of the members and we are off and running again.

There is no intellectual honesty in protestantism and the foundational beliefs vary from one group to the next. None of your members have ever been able to discern an intellectual truth about the Church, all you have are the man made doctrines of Sola Fide and Sola Scrioptura.
