About Protestantism
Various aspects of Protestantism, including but not limited to views on salvation, Bible versions, history, and denominations.
True Christianity seeks to ensure that all Christian teaching (doctrine) and Christian living is in agreement with Scripture (the Bible).

The teachers and preachers who grew of out this “protestant” movement were protesting against many serious religious issues of their time:
- First and foremost: false teachings about salvation
- False teachings about God, Mary, Jesus and man’s own spiritual condition
- Serious abuses of power in the Catholic leadership
- Morally corrupt church leaders

Why Baptists Are Not Protestants
Why Baptists Are Not Protestants
by Vernon C. Lyons
Editor’s note: Baptists did not start with John Smyth in 1609 as Wikipedia and most publications claim. As Vernon Lyons will show, Baptists (and those Christians holding to Baptists tenets of faith) can trace their roots to the Church of the New Testament.
People are usually put in one of three religious groups. If you are not a Jew or a Roman Catholic, then automatically you are a Protestant.… Continue reading
