Doctrinal Affiliation?

[quetzalphoenix]

I'm curious to see what labels people are putting on themselves in these forums...

Myself, I'm a broadly Reformed, postmodern, Evangelical Presbyterian (PCA).

[Secretary of Education - Colin the Cat]

I'm a fire baptized, tongue speakin pentecostal futurist! :teeth:

:hi:

:yipee:

[semmie]

uhm...just a christian, thanks!

[Rubia Warren]

I am a oneness pentecostal.

[spl_cadet]

Catholic!

[Pilgrim]

First a Christian, then a protestant, then a Presbyterian, then PC(USA) then a pastor in my specific congregation.

[Solly]

Christian, Reformed, Calvinistic, Huntingtonian, Strict Baptist

[John Reece]

Just a Christian.

What is Huntingtonian?

[Solly]

Another name for "High Calvinist". Following the line from Twisse, Crisp, Brine down to William Huntington 1745-1811, who was instrumental in founding many Independant and Baptist causes between 1770s and his death, and then through those he influenced, like William Gadsby and John Kershaw.
Like Bunyan, he started in poverty, making his way as an odd job man, including shifting coal on the Thames barges - hence his nickname, the Immortal Coalheaver. Signally converted, he was led to preach, and enjoyed great blessing in the work, leading to his being called to a London pastorate. He was noted for his encycopdic knowledge of the scriptures, and could preach for two hours extempore, quoting scripture exactly. WH was opposed by many (such criticism continues today amongst the Banner of Truth/Reformation today circles), but had a large congregation (for those days) of 2000. Travelled extensively too.
Tho' an Independant himself, his greatest influence was with the Strict Baptists (of which I am one).

Selected works here: Huntington (http://grace-for-today.com/hunt.htm)
His autobiography can be found in the two documents "God the guardian of the poor and the bank of faith", and "The kingdom of heaven taken by prayer"

[dizzle]

Hmmm, voted Protestant. Other particulars are summed up in my signature line. Not Calvinist.

[John Reece]

Thanks for the interesting history, Solly!

[GrayPilgrim]

Christian, Protestant, Evangelical, with a Reformed Soteriology

[themuzicman]

Charismatic background, baptist seminary, "Willow creek" style church.

"Just a Christian" fits me fine.

Michael

[Chief of Staff Lizard]

I checked Just a Christian as I consider that to be by far the most important distinction. However, I do consider myself a protestant of evangelical persuasion. I do go to a Baptist church, but would not, lable myself as a Baptist.

[Xmansmommy]

I'm choosing "Just a Christian" as I don't know the definition of some of the terms listed. I ascribe to the labels, "Member of the Body of Christ" and "New Creation." :smile:

[Gavin]

reformed third-wave charismaic evangelical

[AcousticJS]

I checked just a Christian, but that's mainly cos there was no label for charismatic/pentecostal.

I'm a charismatic evangelical, flirting with Openness and Molinistic views, broadly Restorationist (as it was in the UK 30 years or so ago) but ultimately seeking to believe whatever I find in Scripture.

I'm part of a church related to Salt & Light Ministries (http://www.saltandlightministries.com/) and feel very comfortable with the beliefs and emphases found in this family of churches.

Blessings in Christ

What's third wave charismatic mean?

Joel

[joelkaki]

I am first a Christian, then you might say Reformed, then Presbyterian, and my particular denomination is Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). I am on the fully conservative branch of Presbyterianism. Fully evangelical.

[Blake Reas]

Christian, Protestant, I am in between Baptist and Presbyterian it depends on if Douglas Wilson convinces me in his book Reformed is Not Enough, oh yeah I have a reformed Sotieriology.

[Panta Rhea]

Constructive Postmodernist, Process Theology

[Bob Jenkins]

I am the sum of Episcipal, Philosophical, born again Christian, and Atheist teachings. I express this through Humanism.

[Ric]

:joy: Evangelical Christian! :joy:

[Undomiel]

Christian, non-denominational. Started out as a Baptist, ended up non-denominational, although I do appreciate a good methodist service. I lean toward the penecostal side but believe a sort of mish-mash of baptist, wesleyan and penecostal - so yeah, non-denominational.

[Jaltus]

Evangelical Molinist.

Christian first and foremost, Evangelical till I die, and resident Molinist.

The Molinistic part may change, but the rest will not.

(for those of you wondering, Molinism is a specific branch of Arminianism, thus I am NOT a Calvinist)

PS

Dee Dee, you changed your sig line, so it no longer had your doctrinal affiliation.

[Bib Lit Major]

I clicked just a Christian, since I go to an inter-denominational youth ministry and am not sure my brand of theology fits within a specific denomination but I agree with sections of several denominations' statements of faith.

As for areas that I am sure I fit in:

I consider myself an Evangelical, Charismatic, Arminian.

[mossrose]

A follower of Jesus Christ. Baptist leanings, but would rather be just a believer, thanks.

[Theolog]

Non-Pentecostal, non-Charismatic, Non-dispensational, Non-denominational, antinomian, lean toward full Preterist, flaming five point Calvinist, Reformed, Hippie Dog brother, old goat. :cheers:

[Trinitarian]

I voted protestant, but I would consider myself a "High Church Neo-Anabaptist"

Try that one on for size.

[studyhound]

Christian, paritial calivist, partitial preterist, non-denomational, home churcher, refomer, bibile thumper, studyhound!

no really....I'm more or less a Pentecostal, tongue talking, Bible believing, divine healing practicing, futurist...Pantrib...uhhh....I like to eat.... :popcorn: ....mmmmmmpopcorn......

[Paulbarbee]

I clicked other, should have clicked Protestant, didn't see it I guess.
Have been Baptist w/ a Pentecostal leaning, now becoming more Baptist w/ a reformed leaning. I mihgt be preterist. I'm still finding out stuff about eschatology so I'm not sure about that one.

[TWells]

Right now im visiting different denominations but will remain most likely Baptist. The rest is Covenant, non Calvinist, postmillenial and preterist.

[David O]

Wooden-Headed-Bible-Literalist.

[ChrisChillin]

"Just a Christian" is good most of the time, but when pressed for detail, I am a moderate Southern Baptist.

I do emphasize being Baptist because I follow the historic principles of my segment, such as separation of Church and State, individual soul liberty, and autonomy of the local church.

[tigerlilie]

There is such a thing as a charismatic christian right? I voted just christian if not...hmmm.

[Andrew Mitchell]

If one claims to be "just a Christian", why would they feel they need to add anything else to it? If one feels they need to add something to it, then wouldn't that be something other than "just a Christian"?

[tigerlilie]

Well, I think of none of the above as not a christian. Excuse me. I will re-think my phrasing next time.

[bar Jonah]

Evangelical, exclusivist, Mid-Acts/12-out, pre-mil/pre-trib futurist dispensationalist who subscribes to the Partially Open View.

And to paraphrase Dee Dee -- Moral Government Theology and Process Theology (fully open theism) is a foul heresy that I will fight until my dying breath.

[ChrisChillin]

RightIdea:

...Mid-Acts/12-out...

I'm afraid I'm lost on the jargon for once. What is that referring to?

Mid-Acts dispies believe not only that the Body of Christ is distinct from Israel (that would be Acts 2 dispy), but we also believe that the Body of Christ began with Paul somewhere between Acts 9 and Acts 13, and after that the Twelve went only to Jews who were saved prior to that, who were saved under a different salvation plan or dispensation. And so we hold that Paul's letters are written to us, the Body, with a message of salvation by grace through faith apart from the law and works... while the Twelve (and the earthly ministry of Jesus in the Gospels) were specifically to Israel with a message of salvation by faith that would necessarily be demonstrated by observance of the Law given to them in their unique covenant with God. Therefore, the letters of Peter, James, John and Jude are for our education and understanding but aren't addressed to us, the gentile Body. And we hold that they reflect a slightly different salvation plan to Israel.

12-out clarifies that we believe the Twelve were not "grandfathered" into the Body of Christ when the Body began with Paul. Someone who is "12-in" believes the Twelve were moved into the Body at its inception.

[The_Chosen]

I used to call myself a questioning Christian, now I just call myself one who questions.

[kelco]

Christian, Protestant, Evangelical, United Methodist

[EdJones]

None of the above or other = Scripture, Bible Believing Baptist , never "in" the RCC so never a part of the reformation.

[robert65]

Was born and raised Pentecostal but recently have been told that questioning things and beliefs in the church I was raised in was unacceptable. I am threfore now a Christian in limbo.
