The Oriental Orthodox and the Eastern Churches both still exist, but a large par of the Churhes of the East returned to communion (a sort of oneness) with the Catholics fairly recently, and the Oriental are largely considered to be within the bounds of orthodoxy (now a days they are mostly known as "Copts" in Egypt) and while historically divided from the Eastern Orthodox, from where I sit I cannot distinguish between them.
They hold to the New Testament, Old Testament and the Apocrypha. Same as the Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. The different Christogies are now commonly seen as close enough to "count" so to say. They hold to the same basics I do.
The Anglicans are Protestant, but largely either "Liberal" meaning they are orthopraxic (act right) but no orthodox (believe right), or they are Catholic in all but name.
I am Evangelical. It refers to Protestants that hold to the Fundamentals of the faith and believe in a powerful need for evangelism (spreading the gospel).
The "emergent church" does not mean much of anything as far as I can tell, it is only a term for the societal changes in Western Christianity so far this century. It is not wholy good nor bad.
On Baptism, more or less. But there is debate on whether it is necessary for salvation, or symbolic of an already existing salvation, or if it should be done to infants, and now much water should be used.
The Catholic Pope makes the claim that Catholicism speaks for God but Protestants typically reject any such notion.
