At the same time, I tend to view Protestantism as inclusive of many different denominations and interpretations, even if these are contradictory or not believed by all. Put another way, if we were to reduce "Protestantism" down to the beliefs shared by all Bible-alone Christians, the list would be exceedingly short, thus rendering the term "Protestant" itself to be useless.<br /><br />So, I'm very likely to continue to referring to certain doctrines as Protestant in the sense that they are believed by some Protestants. And, if you are as bothered by the denominationalism that gives rise to this semantic problem to begin with, I pray you will keep reading and commenting, and ultimately join me in working to achieve, through God's abundant grace, greater unity between Christians of every stripe!<br /><br />God bless,<br />DanielReadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825613655695520319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965911108994118500.post-80564698479361605862012-07-30T18:40:54.477-04:002012-07-30T18:40:54.477-04:00While I appreciate the point of the article, it ne...While I appreciate the point of the article, it needs to be clarified that the constant use of "Protistant Doctrine" is not correct. There are many Protistant denominations that do not believe in the doctrine of eternal security. Calvanist denominations do strictly follow this belief and it would be more accurate to point the Five Points Calvanists out rather than the Protestants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
