ladyinred to Kosta: Protestants are Christians too !
The Arians, Monophysitists, Montanists, Docetists, Bogomils, LDS and the Jehova's Witnesses, even the Gnostics, to name just a few, will tell you the same thing.
They all believe they are Christians because they call on Jesus' name!
It is laughable, but it becomes pathetic when they tell someone else that he or she is not a Christian (by their standards).
I think they are wrong, as I think the Protestants are wrong, but I would defer the judgment as to whether someone is a Christian or not to God, unlike FTD. But, again, we all have choices, and he chose to make it.
I understand what’s left of the monophysites are close to returning to the fold... (aledgedly the beleive the same but worded it confusingly... )
One can reach a legitimate conclusion on the salvation of others, based on what they state they believe. (What saith the scripture)
I follow the definition of being a Christian as one who has been 'born again'(Jn.3) something you have admitted not knowing anything about.
Knowing something about God, doesn't mean you know God.
