Yeah as I can't edit the poll I guess I can clarify parts I didn't.

Restorationists: Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, Seventh-Day Adventist, Mormon denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses, Iglesia Ni Cristo, and probably some others.

Evangelical Protestant: Most Baptist groups, but specifically those that emphasize evangelism. Generally what I mean is any Protestant group that emphasizes Evangelism and Biblical inerrancy.

Pentecostal: Assemblies of God, Foursquare, churches with the word "Pentecostal" in them, and probably a few others.

Mainline: United Methodist Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, non-Evangelical/liberal Presbyterians, American Baptist, and United Church of Christ.

Reformed Calvinistic with a UR twist. Universal election, atonement and ultimately the final glorification of ALL in Christ.

Rom 8:30 and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

I get the sense I didn't do much better than "Are you Catholic or Christian?" guy. I mean I knew so many of you are basically your own thing, but I guess I wasn't thinking "Other" would be quite this much of a majority.

Could not pick any on the list since Lutherans were left out. Strange!

I meant to put Lutherans in the list on "Mainline" but Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod is sometimes not considered mainline because it's more "Fundamentalist."

The following link might clarify where I was thinking of placing Lutherans.

Church Statistics and Religious Affiliations - U.S. Religious Landscape Study - Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life

Basically click the yellow arrow thingies after each term.

Now why didn't I just have something for every denomination? Mostly because then the poll would appear endless. There are like 3000 or so Christian denominations. Still maybe I should have limited to the 9 largest denominational families in the US plus Eastern Orthodoxy.

Catholic
Baptist
Methodist
Lutheran
Pentecostal/Assemblies of God
Mormon
Church of Christ
Presbyterian
Adventist

Oh well.
