Are you willing to accept Ahmadis as Muslims, Gilberto? I don't think it is weird to consider Mormons non-Christians at all, because their beliefs very clearly depart from any standard definition of Christianity. The only reason I might call them Christians is because that is what they call themselves, but I'm certainly not critical of Christians who says they are not. However, if they want to insist that Catholics aren't Christian (as often happens in my part of the country) I will object. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-526878-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
