John, do you understand the difference between a historical
perspective and a philosophical one?
Let's consider the philosophical concern a little more
closely. A Protestant is defined broadly as a member of a church
that rejects papal authority.
-------------
Prot·es·tant
[noun]
|
member of church
rejecting papal authority: a member or adherent of any denomination
of the Western Christian church that rejects papal authority and some
fundamental Roman Catholic doctrines, and believes in justification by
faith. |

Aimee rejected papal authority. Do you, John, accept or reject
the authority of the pope as being the vicar of Christ?
Peace be with you.

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.

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.

That denomination did not come from the
Portestant response to RCC theology.
If I am remembering correctly, the historical root to the Four Square church
is Baptist. 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.

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.
David Miller.
