they always claim, "I am not Catholic, and I am not Protestant. I am a Christian". it really doesn't make sense. where do they get their information from?

The Catholic Church is not the basis for Christianity...Jesus is.

I get my information from the bible...God's word.

I refuse and reject your labels on everyone.

I'm a saved believer in Jesus, not an unsaved "catholic" cultist, and not a "protestant".

they get their information from their uneducated and ignorant self and pastors.

LOL I remember talking to a coworker years ago and she said "I'm not Protestant. I'm Baptist." I laughed at that, too. People who are attracted to big tent religion are very unintellectual about their faith and don't even have an elementary sense of their own model and its historical development. They are to be pitied more than most groups of people.

Being facetious, I'm gonna say I'm a Restorationist

Edit: Meh, but if you insist on labeling me either of those two:: I guess then I'm a Protestant, protesting Catholicism.

Since fundamentalist know so little about so many things why would it surprise you that they don't understand this either?

This one belongs to no church,I follow no doctrine of man,I follow Gods word to the best of my ability.It doe sent matter what Im called by man,for God has a name written for me.

It would seem that those who profess Christianity would want to know the history of their own faith. However, they reject real history and often adopt their own revisionist history which is nothing more than fanciful or a complete fabrication.

I guess that they want to imagine that somehow their man-made ecclesiastical groups and their man-made doctrines based on poor biblical scholarship are pleasing to God or that they worship in God's will. The fact is that Jesus and the apostles only founded one Church and that Church continues today as the Catholic Church which endures just as Jesus promised with a continuous history for 2000 years. His Church is testimony to His promises to humanity through His Church. He prayed that we all be one in His Church but many prefer their own creations to His. May our Lord have mercy on them and may we all pray for their conversion to Christs Church. God bless!

If they admit that they are Protestant then they are admitting that they derived from Catholicism

and theologically, ecclesiastically and in every other way they are Protestants

1) what's the reason why most bible fundamentalists don't know that they are part of Protestantism?

Apparently, some of my fellow Fundamentalist Christians take the word "Protestant" literally as well. BTW - I am not ashamed to admit that I am Protestant, though I really don't "protest" against the Roman Catholic Church.


2) it really doesn't make sense. where do they get their information from?

Well...you *do* realize that there are lots of Christians who really *aren't* either Catholic or Protestant, don't you?

My fellow Fundamentalists are probably taking the term "Protestant" in its traditional, literal, historical context. Really, most sects labeled as "Protestant" today would never have qualified as such at the time of the Protestant Reformation. I frequently find myself pointing out, for example, that the Anglican Communion is a "true" Protestant sect, while some (most!) of the more modern Christian sects never even considered being involved in any rejection of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Indeed, many (such as Jack Van Impe) are very vocal supporters of the RCC. It's understandable, don't you think, that such Christians don't want to be associated with a rejection of the RCC simply because of the common modern meaning of an inappropriate label?

For most "Bible fundamentalists," church history begins with their own conversion. Teaching of church history is usually nonexistent in these churches.
