Hm. There’s nothing “contra-dictory” about what I wrote.
Issue one:
You want to associate the heresy of the “Swedenborgians” with other non-Roman Catholic denominations. You do this by putting Baptists and Swedenborgians in the same category, “Protestant.” I’m not playing your game.
Issue two:
You place a GREAT DEAL of emphasis on denomination, as though we are saved through our denomination, or damned through our denomination. But that is incorrect. We are saved through Christ, or damned outside of Christ.
Swedenborgians would be a heretical sect based on their teachings of the Trinity so I would not regard them as Protestant since this heresy is rejected by Protestants and Catholics.
If Swedenborgians did not have this heresy (they may have more which I can’t address here) I would regard them as Protestants if they believed in Sola Scriptura and the other Solas of the Reformation and/or if they rejected the Sacraments and/or they identified themselves as such.
I would place Swedenborgians much as I do JW, a heretical sect which uses Christian image and language and misreading of Scripture.
If you don’t believe in the Trinity you are not Christian.
The poster keeps making it personal — this is repeated in every thread where he goes on to say “You place...”, “you want to...” — utterly flouting forum rules over and over again.
