Dude, no one's ever gonna call you Giancarlo again. Fez is so much easier to type. You look like Fez. And the way you behave just lends itself to the name, Fez. So what it sounds close to the Swedish word for fart. No one's listened to the Swedes since the Great Northern War (except for a brief period in the 70s when we all listened to Abba).

Jehovah's Witnesses are an extreme fundamental cult and so are the Mormons as are hundreds of other "denominations." These cults have a very perveted view of scripture, just like Islamic terrorists have a perveted view of Islam. They are not really Christians. Pay them no attention because this where a lot of you get your misconceptions about Christianity: from cults that in reality are NOT Christian!

Wow, this describes you and your non-Christian beliefs about the anti-Christ and the Middle East. Just like the "cults" you disparage, you and they both came up with a whole new set of beliefs during the Great Awakening during the 19th Century. The scarey thing is that you Dispensationalists are such a large proportion of American Christians.

It never ceases to amaze me the number and variety of Christians who are so certain their brand is The One True Christianity (TM) and others are not "real Christians". I guess the same goes for other religions as well, but we don't see it as much here in North America.

That describes Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. My denomination (Southern Baptist), however, doesn't hold to this belief.

True christians are a subset of the set of all Christians. However, as all Christians believe they are part of the set of true Christians and many believe that other Christians are not, what you have is a zillion little subsets of Christians all calling themselves "true Christians."

All Christians are true Christians, but only American Protestant fundimentalists are "True" Christians.

You're right. I am a dispensationalist. But much to your astonishment dispensationalist beliefs have been around for 2,000 years and was a part of the early church.

The doctrine of JW's and Mormons is not true because it doesn't hold to the original Orthodox Christian teachings, but when it all comes down to it it's the individual that matters.

Southern Baptists do not believe that Christ will judge people by their denomination before going to heaven or hell. What will matter is the individual.

Just for reference, such denominations as Baptists, Nazarenes, Methodists, Pentecostals, Messianic Judaism among many others are legitimate denominations that do hold to original Orthodox teachings.

Actually I think Jehovah Witnesses speak for most christians quite accurately, based on my own personal perspective and what I see in this world today.

No, it hasn't. By your own definition, you are not a true Christian. You are every bit as much a deviant as the Mormons and JWs. It was invented in the 19th Century. I'm more of a true Christian than you.
