    You left the Anglicans, Methodist/Wesleyans, and Pentecostal/Charismatics off your list.

    Your answer is good.

    But, yes, the internet would be a good source.

    I generally agree with that statement, although I would not exclude everybody other than Baptists.

    No distinction at the cross but do you truly think that a saved slave is suddenly no longer a slave or a Jew is no longer a Jew? There is a difference between value and role that too many forget.

    A God-centered, Christ-exalting, Holy Spirit-led, Bible-Believing, Discipleship-minded, Mission-Minded, and Grace-Giving, whether Baptist or not.

    God dispenses gifts without regard to gender, social status, nationality.

    I consider all the groups you mentioned as "Reformed" as they were started by reformed theologians (Anglicans) or are descended or broken off from Reformed groups (Methodists and Pentecostals). I would not include the "Jesus only" charismatics in any group. They are a cult.

    Broadly speaking you are correct. I have always contended that Calvinists and Arminians have more in common than is usually realized. But Arminians would be much put off by being called "Reformed". :)

    I wanted to ask you something, and I hope I don't offend you because that is not my purpose: You are a member of the LCMS, correct? I know you have an aversion to Baptist fundamentalism, which was what you formerly were, so I was wondering why you joined a Lutheran body which is considered by many to be a fundamentalist body, not just conservative?

    But does the gift of teaching mean that one must be a pastor of a church?
