Depends upon what you mean by Christian. If you answer in the affirmative to the question “Can a Methodist or an Episcopalian be Christian?” then, certainly, a Democrat can be a Christian.

Unfortunately “Christian” has become a pretty relative term too. And these days you can throw Baptists, and some “evangelicals” into that mix as well.

Episcopalians are not Christian. They worship the “New Spirit” of homosexuality. Some Methodists may still be.

A lot of people attend church, and not always as a Christian. Many are led to believe they can absolve, themselves of sin every week on Sunday morning and start a fresh slate on Monday. How many Mondays do they get for the same sin until they are using God as a scapegoat? And that more than borders on blastphemy

“Mark 3:28-30: “Truly I tell you, all sins and blasphemes will be forgiven for the sons of men. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin.”

Can one in this category be considered a Christian? They can attend church and try to seem so. But not supporting the religion you profess at the church you attend doesn’t make it there either.

Ignorance on display.

Should have said United Methodist or most Methodists. There are still some Methodists that have not walked away from John Wesley's teachings of Justification and Sanctification.

Just as there are Nazarenes, Lutherans, Free Methodists, Southern Baptists, etc. who still hold onto the doctrine of Salvation by Faith with a real change of heart.
