Ok, but how do you come to the terms with, that you tend to follow the reformers down the path of Sola scriptura, Sola fidel, etc, the sola. Which wasn't even a concept in the church prior to the reformation in the west, or the East. You claim you're not from the reformers but all of your theology just tends to line up with them, or parts to be more precise. Does it just seem like that? You're just another break from Martin Luther's reformation. Add to that, how do you come to the terms that the church fathers, the same people of the same faith gave us the Creed, gave us the councils to essentially codify the doctrines. And the bible. Cause sorry there was no fixed bible originally when the church was still setting up. Admit dude, your church is another splinter group from the reformation. Basically what >>745251
was, saying, originally reformation happens, the break away groups start to pop up, the spin off after spin off group appears to the point where. It has nothing in common with what the, Church fathers were teaching. This is black Israelite tier cases. Or British Israelism tier. And as for Martyrs, there were martyrs, but i think you're mistaken. The church set up after all that blooshed had nothing to do with ,Baptist, that just came out of the reformation. But Martyrs like saint James, etc. Just think man, those same men from those very same councils are the ones who gave us the same bible we have today, who compiled it and codified it. But somehow they're in heresy, but not until Thousands of years later post reformation ahhhh, now the baptist church is the one true church. See where this going? For me anyway i'm not about to go and sample all the tutty fruity flavors of protestant sects. Been there with my *Non denomination Church*. Or people who take on bare bones Christian theology stripped of it's rich and articulate history. While at the same time holding the reformers theology. And that's just from a layman's perspective so far. Really history is against the protestant sects, the reformers. The only ones who have anything close that resembles something of Christian teaching would be the, Lutherans they do retain some of the sacraments, but again parts of missing, it's watered down.
