Sure there is and you prove it. You simply choose what you want.

I can’t help you with who you know and what name you give them. Christians believe and obey the entire word; otherwise they aren’t Christians.

Catholics have their own man made teachings and are the ones who pick and choose to fit their man made teachings. Catholics do not understand God’s Word because it is spiritually discerned. They are a worldly group.

It’s not what I choose but the way it is. It’s like you telling me Romney is a conservative and I say he isn’t.

Anyone can say they are Christian - anyone NOT ‘hearing and obeying’ HIS WORD which is the will of the Father - is not Christian. God’s WORD is a Christian’s final authority.

Wrong. Keep it honest, I never said that - the Holy Spirit doesn’t talk to the ear.

Your “inner ear,” of course:what no one else can hear.

You have your own “man-made doctrines.” One is sola scriptura.

There is ONLY ONE Jesus - Jesus is THE WORD. A bit over the top for cathoics to get for they are a worldly group taught by worldly men with worldly teachings.

I don’t see much real value in such a designation as you seem to be promoting. There are many Christians in the world who fall from perfection in accepting everything they should, or following through on living that out, and yet they are still Christians. Language just doesn’t work the way you wish it did. Christians come in many forms, from the nearly perfect to the very flawed, and there is no indication that they stop being Christian because of their failure. Bad Christians may be, but Christian still.

Think the way you want. When the time comes - it’s too late.
Some simply refuse to be taught.
