We all have reasons where we are and where we aren't, which go beyond being limited to the groups named. I can't see anything good coming from this thread, but only potential for division and ruffled feathers. I'm out.

I don't believe Chalcedonianism to be de facto orthodox.
I'm pretty sure that covers all of them, though of course more could be said.
Why should we care why this particular guy isn't any of these things, though?

I like that the OP can illuminate reasons for being one place and not another
Many people don't bother to know different interpretations, theologies or faiths
I think God eventually brings us where we belong
Christianity is something like a mountain
Christ can lead a man up the North slope, the East slope, the West slope or the South
And the man will see different things, depending on the path

zoidar, I can't think of any denomination that fits the lineup you gave us. Maybe some branch of the Campbellite movement.
I don't think point #4 belongs on the list, by the way.
If you have an interest in finding the right church for yourself--in addition to asking us what it was that decided it for each of us--it might be that you'll have to find a church that allows you to hold some private opinions such as you mentioned, even if they are not standard with that denomination.

I removed post my post. My intention was for it to be informative. I apologize if anyone got offended.

Lutherans (conservative) hold baptism to give faith to babies and Lords supper to give faith in a strengthening way to believers.
I love a lot about most churches, just some things I don't agree with. Since Cooper is a Lutheran, I felt it was only fair to say why I'm not.

Just to share something positive, I have not finished this but absolutely love the first 2 chapters.
It is "Othrodoxy" written in 1908 by Chesterton. And by Orthodoxy he means, that which was in the Apostles Creed, the Creed of this site.

That works with my current church. We got a new pastor this year, and I like him. There is wide range of Christians attending, but it's a traditional church. I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes I can feel like there is a lack of fire in our sermons.

I believe there is good tradition and not so good tradition.
Mark 7:6-13 Christ hammers the magisterium of His day for their bad man-made-tradition -- and He does so 'sola scriptura'... demonstrating how it is done.
I believe the ideas of man have to be vetted "sola scriptura" to see if the idea is in conflict with the Word of God.

Actually I posted four videos by a Lutheran pastor Jordan B Cooper, where he answered why he isn't any of the mentioned. I on the other hand posted five reasons I'm not Lutheran. If you are interested, his videos can be found here:

They are quite interesting.
