I may write papers where I need a definition of 'Christian.' This term can have many interpretations. I would tend to use the term 'confessional Christian' or creedal-agreeable Christian. The minimal creed would be the Apostles' Creed -- including those church groups and people who would concur, at minimal, with the apparent meaning of the Apostles' Creed. (Or that people in these church groups would reject use of the term 'Christian' for people that do not basically accept the Apostle's Creed.)
Note that the discussion on Evangelicals was more of a test case rather than being the main concern here. But I did like how the discussion went.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI believe Craig is referring to what is sometimes called New Evangelicalism. At any rate, it's the prominent form of Evangelicalism that remains popular today I think.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostIt seems like a lot of Orthodox and Roman Catholics want to be a part of a club that they don't think Protestants can be/should be part of. Historically, I suppose the same was true among many Protestants. It's a shame that so many people on both sides still feel that way.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostRegarding Orthodoxy, sort of. There are Orthodox who say that no Christians are found outside the Orthodox Church, but the general sentiment is "The Orthodox Church is the Church; it is not our place to comment on whether Christians in other traditions are a part of the church, because that is up to God."
Speaking of, there is a relatively newish Greek Orthodox church in town that I'd love to check out just to see how an Orthodox service goes down (been to a few RCC services already), but I have no idea how welcome I'd be.

Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostClearly the average believer is not supposed to baptise others, therefore the Great Commission is not binding on him.
I do recommend people get baptized within a church group's pastor, but this is in the absence of any specific instruction as to who should do the baptizing.
