The normal definition of Protestant has been those denominations that came out of the Protestant Reformation. The term Protestant comes from the declaration read by noblemen who were followers of Luther at the Diet of Speyer that began with the words, "we protest." There is nothing negative about the term, the word Lutherans was used negatively by Catholics for a long time but that has since ended.
My point was unlike Catholics that want to count everyone as catholic that was ever baptized.
I'm not quite sure where this myth originated (though I am fairly certain who is responsible for spreading it like a cancer on FR), but it is not true and constantly repeating it will never make it true.
in non Catholic churches we have a broad spectrum of churches..some are specifically "born again" churches like Baptists , Holiness, reformed , and some community churches.. other churches are liberal and more work oriented like the UCC or Methodists
I am well aware of this, is there a point?
Probable 50% of Americans are unchurched.. so we can not fill in the blanks about what faith voted how if there are no studies on it In the more liberal churches I am sure there was a significant liberal vote..not so in the more fundamental or reformed churches
Fine, I will rephrase my question and perhaps you can answer it:
Would the Catholics who DID NOT vote for Obama be saved or unsaved? And what of the non-Catholic Christians who DID vote for Obama, are they saved?
Both saved and unsaved make choices based on preferences.. so some would choose on the basis of their faith or political leanings and some would choose based on their desire for a big government sugar daddy
The One Trick Ponies are out again.
Too bad these threads never become discussions about the material in the articles.
They devolve into the same garbage time after time.
