You have latched on to the word "denomination" again. Perhaps you could describe briefly what kind of Christian you are posing as for the purposes of this thread or is the idea you have here for people to play twenty questions with you to figure out whether you believe in eternal torture, whether you believe "salvation" is through "faith and faith alone", whethe ...[text shortened]... ian you are posing as so that the discussion can begin and does not start with a guessing game..
Does that cover it?

I'd expect them to not just accept what I say, but to check the Word for themselves to see if what I say is true.
Originally posted by vivifyAs a Christian, how would you define "fair" in "a fair chance to know of Christ" in the above assertion?

Originally posted by vivifyAs a Christian, what was your view of and attitude towards 'denominational churches'?
I told you. I went to a non-denominational church..
Were there churches, figures, preachers etc. you identified more with, and others you thought were mistaken or who you felt were alienating?
FMF: From what you know of the following Christians' beliefs, in each case would you expect them to recognize and accept you unreservedly as their fellow Christian?Oh well. How about some fellow self-identifying Christians - Catholic popes - whose beliefs you can't credibly claim not to know? Do you think that all the popes of the Roman Catholic Church may well be in "Hell"?

Do you believe that homosexuals who believe in Jesus can live out their lives in loving (and physical) relationships with other homosexuals and still be "saved"?
I really don't want to answer these types of questions, because they're obvious. It's well-known the bible is against homosexuality. Please refrain from questions asking do I believe in widely-accepted Christian doctrines. In fact, no more "interview" questions. This is boring, and not why I started this thread. Get to some actual questions, things you disagree about the bible.
