Used to call myself Robert Zimmerman.

 

[Contra Marcion]

Quasi-theonomic, postmillenial, partial-preterist, apostate Campbellite, presbyterian Dad.

 

[Kevin]

I should have said 'confessional baptist' who hangs out with a bunch of presbyterians.

Glad to have you!

 

[Kevin]

I call myself a Presbyterian. Because I am one.

 

[Southern Presbyterian]

Glad to have you!

 

[Southern Presbyterian]

Oh, and I call myself a Southern Presbyterian.

 

[thekingsknight]

Hmm! Better claim this one quick - sinner saved by grace.

 

[Bygracealone]

Depends on who I'm talking to. Sometimes simply call myself a conservative Christian; sometimes Protestant; sometimes Calvinist; and oftentimes Reformed Presbyterian.

 

[Amazing Grace]

I'm a Presuppositional, Partial-Preterist, Postmillenial, Predestinarian, Presbyterian, Patriotic, Peasant.

AKA an Alliterist....

 

[No Longer A Libertine]

I'm a sinner.

Material monist, Nominalist, Modernist, Pagan, Infidel, Heretic, Greek, Papist

Very interesting way of putting it.

 

[javajedi]

Yea, it really depends who I am talking to.
I don't just say "Presbyterian" as most evangelicals think "liberal". So I would say "conservative Presbyterian".
I usually use "Reformed" over "Calvinist" as most non-reformed think all Calvinists hold to hyper-Calvinism .
Also, being in the Orthodox Presbyterian Chuch, I often have to explain that we are Orthodox (Eastern, Greek, etc) .

So, usually there is some explanation along with what ever 'label' I give.

 

[panta dokimazete]

God sovereign-tist

or Soli Deo Glori-ist!

 

[PuritanCovenanter]

Reformed Baptist or 1689er.

But when people ask me about my email addy, and name PuritanCovenanter, I usually launch into a history lesson about the Puritans and Scottish Covenanters. I like them so much.

 

[Megaloo]

I think I'm going to use the word, REGENERATE! (with an accent)...(not an Aussie accent though, a southern American one)....(no, I'm not of Aussie material, just want to make sure people know where I'm coming from) I am going to start calling my Christian pals regenerate, because at first, people will think I'm saying something mean, but I'm not, I'm just acknowledging their regenerative state.
I listened to a Piper sermon the other day and he was talking about using the word regeneration. It is a great word! It means I am a new creature in Christ and I am being renewed everyday though sanctification.

 

[kvanlaan]

Usually, just Christian. If they delve further, I am Reformed, and then they start calling me a Calvinist.

 

[tfelice]

Depends on the audience, but usually Conservative Protestant, sometimes with the expanded "very similar to Presbyterian".

 

[etexas]

Sometimes I like telling people I am a French-Man who glows blue after 11:00.

 

[Dieter Schneider]

I like I D Campbell's explanation of Rabbi Duncan, "I'm first a Christian, next a Catholic, then a Calvinist, fourth a Paedobaptist, and fifth a Presbyterian". I applaud such ecumenism, notwithstanding my own Baptist convictions. I like the guy - we were students together (well, not Rabbi Duncan, of course). He is one of the finest theologians alive! His church website is most helpful.

 

[RamistThomist]

Recovering Republican, taking it one day at a time.

 

[BobVigneault]

Yes! You, me and John Loftus. Everyday in every way I'm a little bit better.

Recovering Republican, taking it one day at a time.

 

[mr_burns]

I usually call myself "I" or "me"

Most other people call me "Ryan" but it just sounds weird when I do it.

 

[raekwon]

Usually "Christian" is where I stop initially. The more descriptors you add, the less people are willing to give you a hearing, I've found. As conversations progress and questions are asked and answered, it becomes clearer and clearer just what "kind" of Christian I am.
