What we expect doesn't enter into it. You don't even interpret the Bible according to Traditional Christian standards.They expect us to interpret the Bible according to current academic standards, else we're not fit to have a legitimate diploma.

It's just a fact. Not saying you are right or wrong, just different. To start with, you are Protestants and accept the Doctrine of Sola Scriptura, which Traditional Christians do not. That puts you in a minority position to start with. Then, while being Protestants you accept the doctrines of literal inerrancy, perspicuity and self-interpretation which not even all Protestants subscribe to. You, in particular, are a 1611er, which makes you a rather rare bird amongst Christians.That's quite an accusation.

And then there's also the...
Well, if you are not Protestant then you are not a Baptist, either, independent or otherwise. But it doesn't really signify because your beliefs about the Bible are the same.
Anything else I am that I'm not?

So now I'm a Protestant YEC.
And here I thought I was an Independent Fundamental Baptist!
Are you the only non-Protestant Baptist? Is it that you want to not be considered a Protestant for some reason even though you embrace Protestant doctrine? Very interesting. As for me, I don't want to be seen as speaking for my church, or my church having to share the abuse handed out in this forum for not "believing the Bible." There is an obvious clue in my screen name if you are all that interested.-- Wow.
For someone who doesn't want to tell us what he is, you're sure willing to tell us what we are, aren't you?
American Baptists are an offshoot of the Protestant movement.
Are you the only non-Protestant Baptist?
That really is interesting. I really never thought about it that way--not from an historical viewpoint. My opinion was based on the fact that Baptists follow Protestant doctrine rather than Traditional Christian doctrine.QV please, BCP -- (you too, Warden):
So, why aren’t Baptist Protestants? Because Baptists have never been part of the Roman Catholic Church. Baptists never splintered from Catholicism (such as Lutherans and Episcopalians), nor have we splintered from the splinter groups (such as Methodists). Although this may sound far-fetched to some, history proves this to be true. In fact, it was Sir Isaac Newton who said, “The modern Baptists formerly called Anabaptists are the only people that never symbolized with the Papacy.”

I'm not American Baptist either!
Mamma la rosa mia!
I'm not American Baptist, General Baptist, Freewill Baptist, Primitive, Southern, General, Strict, or Grace Baptist.
I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist.
This thread had become a mess of extra-Biblical nonsense and doctrine. I'm bouncing out.
Take your ignorance with you.
Better yet -- learn something.
