Some names still convey some meanings; a Landmark Baptist, I assume, will have a particular view of ecclesiology, while a Primitive Baptist likely has a fairly consistent view of ecclesiology and soteriology. (I'm not saying such labels are infallible nor a guide to what <I>other</I> beliefs may be present; I would never judge Primitive Baptists, for example, on the basis of what the Westboro Baptist Church does.)<BR/><BR/>But many suffer from one great defect: They are coined by opponents or adopted in defense. <BR/><BR/>You're a liberal!
