Others groups leave out much of Christ's Gospel, and/or add things to it. -A8

Please provide examples and ping Silly and some of the rest of us when you see this happening, thanks

As for adding to it, I grew up in a Pentecostal tradition where there were weekly "altar calls". That is not in the Bible. Nor are "revival crusades". Nor is "Reformation Sunday". Nor is Christmas day being on Dec 25. Nor is the determination of the date of Easter. As for leaving out, Protestants also typically leave out "bishops", the "sacraments" (or most of them), the "communion of saints", understanding baptism as a means for forgiveness of sins, belief in the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church", and the liturgy. Those are just examples; there are many more.
