I'm not a Methodist (members of my family are, though), but when did the memo go out kicking them out of the Christian faith?

I don't know, but I'm in trouble. I'm a Lutheran who just graduated from a Methodist seminary. Now, my diploma doesn't specifically mention "Christian" but I assumed... Wow, I hope the Lutherans (assuming they are Christian) will "grandfather" me in. YIKES!!!

[goresgottago]

Stupid people should not comment on these threads. If you don't know that Methodists are Christians then you obviously have no knowledge of the Christian religon.

Piasa, very well said! I wonder what Lilly considers a Christian to be?

[LeeMcCoy]

Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition of the Lord's prayer! Beautiful!

Methodists being non-Christian is a silly premise to say the least, but it does remind me of an old joke.

Q. "Did you have a religious upbringing?"

A. "No sir, we were Methodists"

[piasa]

We Lutherans might not be 'Christian enough.' Evidently we don't use enough water with our Word, and some folks think the Big Guy is so limited he cannot accomplish anything unless someone dunks you. I for one believe you can use beer if water is in short supply. hehehehe ; )

I know he's not a Christian, but is a Methodist

Trying to start a war, or just ignorant?

Beautiful Harpo! ;)

It's me. Really. I'm serious. I'm the brother of the POTUS. I am. Trust me.

Well, I bet his mom and dad check in periodically....just because! Maybe they will do one of those pull on the ear numbers the next time they are on tv just to let us know they think of us! lol

[TLBSHOW]

You might be right his name comes up.

Hey, not nice. Not everyone knows everything. I doubt the poster will forget anytime soon that any religion who believes in Jesus Christ is Christian. Cut a little slack here.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Very well done - thanks!

Have you ever been asked by a sweet-sounding woman, to whom you have just been introduced, "Are you a 'Christian'?" or the same question, in a very quiet voice, by a cold-eyed man?

There is a certain type of generic pentecostal or evangelical (intentionally lowercase) movement which has appropriated the word Christian as a label for those who believe their particular brand of self-absorbed Christian faith. Frequently, but not always, they form churches, but don't affiliate with traditional mainline Protestant denominations.

I think that's what she means - Methodists are Christians, but not Christians.

Incidentally, I think these are also the people the Left derides as the "Religious Right."

[socal_parrot]

You mean non-denominational Christians. Which is actually a denomination.

[RightOnline]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllll, I won't go with that, sorry. Your reply, although intended to explain the previous poster's reply, certainly attempts to paint "non-denominational Christians" (yes, I just happen to be one, thank you very much) in quite a harsh light. You know it, I know it. They / we aren't freaky-eyed, glassy-stared automotons ready to rain Hell-fire and brimstone upon your sinning skull, fercryinoutloud.

The images some people carry around here never cease to amaze me.

[dubyagee]

I know he's not a Christian, but is a Methodist, but certainly he knows there is only one God and His name is Jesus Christ, not Allah.

Excuse me, am I reading this right? He's not a Christian because he's a Methodist? What are you talking about.

Thanks for the ping!
