You are from US. In Germany the protestant Church is
mostly a nominell church and the most members are not born again, say do not believe in Jesus Christ. To be
a Christian is the matter of faith in Jesus Christ and not of the kind of denomination.So of course you will find Christians among Protestants.

This entire post is just silly.
1. "... only post to this topic if you voted for the correct poll option."
This is a public forum, anyone can post anything in your thread they please.
2. "Anyone who posts to this topic without having voted will have proven themselves neither Protestant nor Christian"
Logically and rationally, anyone posting something else in this thread proves nothing except they disagree with you.
This statement is both a false dilemma and a complete logical non sequitur.
3. It's ridiculous to vote for for either poll option, as the entire poll is an attempt at constructing a false dilemma, based upon the redefinition of several common words.
The poll questions also don't logically follow the poll title... except in the mind of the OP where he's using his own completely new definitions for the words "protestant" and "christian."
But viewing the poll questions and poll title together, even though one does not logically follow the other, does show us the intent, and thought process, of the OP.
4. The Opening Post, though short, actually attempts to redefining both "christianity" and "protestantism" (two words which already have very common and orthodox definitions) and then tries to force a debate using these false definitions.
This couldn't be more illogical... it's just silly.
Final Thoughts:
* This entire post is built on a straw man argument, by starting with false definitions.
* It then goes on to stack up false dilemmas, non sequiturs, and a number of other logical fallacies... and then tries to manipulate us further by creating arbitrary demands on who can post, and then giving a poll comprised of 2 questions which both contain false assertions.
* It's really a remarkable bit of crazy and illogic all woven into a very short Opening Post.
* TWO THUMBS UP FOR EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT.
You have not answered the question about the location total of Christ's revelation . Nor have you addressed the problem of you stealing . How can we believe some one who misrepresented them selves? You presented others work as yours You have cut and paste questions from another site without giving credit .

this is not true.
someone for example offered to show you how that the Church is not founded on Peter. this is a defense of part of the "protestation" that separates the Faith from Roman Catholicism. it is also by implication an argument that Protestantism is not antichrist.
but the assumption that respondents do not think Protestants are Christian based on their interaction or non-interaction with your poll is based on a faulty premise. this description of the belief of the people who have responded to the thread does not follow from the facts of the poll results. as recorded in the thread, there are multiple reasons for non-participation, and participation in the poll is not the only way to "come out in defense of Protestantism" - furthermore neither "coming out in defense" ((in any form)) nor remaining silent on the issue is a definitive measure of a persons belief or opinion about the meta-ideas "Protestant" and "Christian" and how they are related, what their union, intersection and disjunction sets look like.
you haven't created a litmus test. you've set a mousetrap, and the mice have walked around the back-side of it and are nibbling safely and freely at the cheese.
Where did I say "protestants do not believe all of Christ's Divine Revelations to man?"
Best not to put words in my keyboard - yet you still fail to address questions directed at YOU, but rather as in your other troll incarnations you answer a question to YOU with another question - same MO you used previously.
