Thanks. But Orthodox Presbyterian might "self-identify" as "spiritual Israelite." Would you put him under "Jews, other"? I believe heartily that my Christian faith is a culmination of OT revelation. Does that make me "Jews, other"? It's my self identification.

There is a specific "test" for traditional Christianity it is called a creed..If a church does not adhere to one of the Christian creeds that are not Christian

You hit the nail right on the head, mama!

Your #98: There is a specific "test" for traditional Christianity it is called a creed..If a church does not adhere to one of the Christian creeds that are not Christian

I must correct you here, Terry. The creeds were not written by apostles or prophets and are not inspired. They are fine, though, so long as they take a back seat to the Word of God and not attempt to add to it or take away from it or be a colored lens through which you read it.

There is a specific test for Christianity. It is the Word of God. The Old and New Testaments define Christianity. (I would say more, but that is for another thread.)
