IMHO, there is no Christian denomination more inconsequential to modern Christianity than mainstream American protestant denominations, specifically the likes of the major Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and Methodist sects. I do not consider them "evangelical." I have respect for the true evangelical and fundamentalist churches and denominations that persevere, even if I disagree with them on certain doctrinal issues. But the mainstream liberal protestant sects are simply too inconsequential to real Christianity and the future of Christianity to take them seriously.
just like the pope keeps catholics away from christ, i happen to believe that deonominations of any kind keep people from christ, or perhaps better stated, can be a barrier between the christ -- person relationship. in my paradigm, i expect and hope that denominations would be inconsequential.
i am intrigued with your thought process. can you elaborate a bit more on your definition of evangelical and why you think these denominations are inconsequential? this enquiring LCMS member is interested. LCMS = lutheran church -- missouri synod and hopefully as you can tell from my previous posts i do not take the work of man too seriously.
