I don’t think they qualify as protestant churches anymore. Don’t you have to be Christian first?
Why no mention of the Muslims? They are all slimy little peter puffers and corn holers anyway. It’s endorsed by their mullahs and not considered abberant behavior.
They were Christian first. The rubble of the Reformation took care of that. They are still Protestant churches, as as are the Presbyterians and Reformed (although only a tiny fraction of their congregations or clergy are still Calvinists). The vast majority (I believe that the figure is between 94% and 97%) of formerly Calvinist denominations in terms of congregants are no longer Calvinist. I have an engineer working for me that is faithful Dutch Congregational. We we talking about Calvin one day and he shuddered. No Calvinism anywhere at his church or those that they associate with.
There are still some left (I believe that I saw my friend Dutch on this thread), and I would like to ask his perspective on the Anglicans, the ELCA, the Methodists, and the formerly Calvinist Presbyterian and other denominations which are swirling down the doctrinal toilet.
