The last thing I want is confusion.<br /><br />As for a self-description, I also like the term follower.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-4472512139164382982012-05-10T09:56:29.848-04:002012-05-10T09:56:29.848-04:00wow I have never heard of that before.

I would rather use a scriptural term to describe myself, such as follower or believer. Can you think of any others?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524992843466663000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-37181602485149478622012-05-05T17:54:37.239-04:002012-05-05T17:54:37.239-04:00John,

However, I do like it when it means universal.<br /><br />Of course there is much confusion about the term because of the nonsense that has been going on in Rome for centuries.<br /><br />I'd like to recapture this term in the Nicene Creed sense of it.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-71741685820312468872012-05-05T17:07:48.378-04:002012-05-05T17:07:48.378-04:00Eric,
