I am familiar with implicit or hidden Christians, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
How do we define which churches and theological systems are Christian? Most would define Jehovah's Witnesses, Unitarians, Mormons, and Oneness Pentecostals (my faith of origin) outside Christianity.
But how do we do this? Are Quakers, for example, not Christians since they reject sacraments, a clearly biblical and historical Christian set of practices? Can someone be a Christian without baptism?
What are your thoughts?
