Sounds like how Rev Phelps calls himself "Baptist" yet has absolutely no affiliation with any Baptist organization.

Interestingly, while Phelps was disfellowshipped by the Baptists a long time ago, he is indeed affiliated with a larger religious group - a non-Christian neo-Nazi sect which calls itself "Christian Identity."

The only member of his congregation who is not related to him by blood or marriage is a Christian Identity minister.

But the press prefers to identify him as a "Christian" or a "Baptist" when he is actually a neo-Nazi sympathizer.

And he has done tremendous harm to our witness as a result. I was sitting next to a young woman on an airplane when she asked me what I did. When I told her, "I'm a pastor," she said, "You're not one of those Southern Baptist pastors, are you?"

She honestly thought that we were all like him.
