Poor DM. I have not been a part of the Churches of Christ for some 32 years. My denominational background has nothing to do with my theology at this late date. Secindly, Aimee Semple McPherson is the founder of Four Square. She was not responding to a negative RCC consideration. Certainly, I am no protestant and I have made the reasoning for this claim quite clear. Mean versus green are the only considrations I can see for the continued use of the word and the continued need to attach me to the Churches of Christ.

From: Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>DaveH, you have to understand that John's background is Church of Christ,
DAVEH: I did remember that, DavidM. Even so, as I remember, WIKI painted the CofC as Protestant as well.
However, in a recent discussion with you, I thought I understood John to say that he currently is worshiping with a 4Sq group, which to me indicates an association with a Protestant relationship, as I think WIKI defined them.

Aimee Semple McPherson at one time claimed to have been ordained by the Baptists. I think later on she was ordained by the Assemblies of God, but later disowned those credentials. John wrote:I see "protestant" as clubhouse name for those who are apostate. That is how I believe the term is used. I have seen posts from Mormon to Mormon that gives me this opinion.DaveH, you have to understand that John's background is Church of Christ, which is another restoration movement with historial roots similar to Mormonism. Their attitude toward other "Protestants" is not unlike Mormons. Peace be with you.
