Definitions

[Mrs. LPW]

Would someone PLEASE post a 'set in stone' definition of the terms

Ultra-Con
Con
Lib
Mod

Please include full definition and list of beliefs that fall into each catagory.
This would be for dumb folks like myself who keep calling someone liberal when they are NOT liberal... (or so they say;-)

Now.. this is TIC... I don't really want a list... but can we all agree the terms are very relative... what one considers liberal may not be considered liberal at all to someone else who is MORE liberal...or moderate or WHATEVER?

I'm just weary of being misunderstood and this is my vent...

I am a Liberal/Moderate/Con

I am liberal on Dress. I do not care about the Affirmation statement and how to follow dress codes because an organization wants to be defined by them.

I am moderate on the when the Acts 2:38 is applied to salvation.

I am a Con on the idea of the doctrine of the Godhead as defined in our terms as "Oneness".

Now the fun comes in when others define us!

I think we are on the same page!

I am a liberal. I believe that salvation is given liberally to those who truly ask for it and give their lives to Jesus Christ.

You've got that right. If you believe the Bible at all, much of our society will lable you "kook fringe extreme conservative." And then to have your own brethren label you "ultra-liberal" because you don't condemn people for showing their elbows in public can lead to perplexity.

These labels can be significant however. I remember a visit from an evangelist from a "conservative" church in CA many years ago. He railed against "liberals" in the UPC and proclaimed the P.S.R. Conference to be the "premier gathering of conservative Apostolics." He then went on to denigrade "another conference" in CA that was host to a bunch of "liberals."

The labels were first used by men who wanted to call themselves "conservatives." In reality the represented a movement of radical change, the very antithesis of real conservatism. Mrs. LPW appears to be admirably tired of this division. But the history behind the causes of the division is important.

Well if you're pretty much like me then you are obviously a Mod.

If you think some things I think are wrong are OK then you are obviously a Lib.

If think some of the things I think are OK are wrong then you are a Con.

If you mention anything that I do in a negative way you are obviously an Ultra-Con.

At least that's the way it looks from here.
