So what gives Catholics the right to label who is a Protestant and who is not?

Do you all want non-Catholics to start making determinations of who’s Catholic and who’s not?

Well they sure aren't Catholics. See, thats the problem with starting a movement whose main premise is based on making up your own rules -- every Tom Dick and Harry who cares to skip along can do so. And they can create whatever wacky offshoots they wish without violating the main premise.

"Do you all want non-Catholics to start making determinations of who’s Catholic and who’s not?"

I would like to answer that with a slightly ironic chuckle. Feel free to imagine this chuckle in your mind's ear *now*.

For the people I posted about, Billy Graham, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton are Baptists, Creflo Dollar is in the World Changers Church International, Joyce Meyer, T. D. Jakes, and Joel Osteen are in Non-Denominational protestant churches, Jeremiah Wright is in the United Church of Christ, and Kenneth Copeland is in the "Word of Faith" denomination.

They all believe in and use "Sola Scriptura", just like you do, even though you all might believe something completely and incompatibly different from each other.

Are you saying they are not protestants?

You'd think that we would have gotten at least three-fifths of a vote on that subject!
