They're called "catholic-lites". That's why I'm not a "protestant".

The first believers in the Book of Acts wouldn't have accepted a label that speaks of nothing more than rejection of the catholic cult. The catholic cult is totally false, and I won't label myself with some name that focuses only on that.

Sunday was the day Christ was resurrected and the Christians chose to recognize that day because of it. Eternal fire is mentioned by Christ so that is settled.As for infant Baptism when in acts it speaks of the whole house hold being baptized one would have to assume there were small children and infants there. Comment for Chris and that is you have to be one miserable person inside of you as Satan leads you in Attacking Christ Church.

Jesus warned his followers about those who would come in His name who would deceive the people. These deceptions are extant in many facets. One example would be how people redefine an issue in order to deceive. Take for example the claim you make regarding "Sunday observance." It is not a case of "observing" a day, rather it is a case of choosing to meet on a day for the sake of communal worship and prayers. There is no observing or keeping of days in New Covenant theology. There is freedom to worship whenever and wherever one wants, and this is what Jesus referred to as worshiping in spirit and in truth as contrasted to communal worship formerly being required only in Jerusalem. If the location is no longer relevant, than neither is the day.

Instead of pointing fingers at what others believe that is false, you should be carefully studying to see whether what you believe is true or false, and there are methods of study for determining truth from error. I wonder if you are even aware of one of them.
