[edit] Classification

I've taken the liberty of changing the classification from protestant to baptistic. While there were protestant groups to join with the E free church, its origins are not connected with the catholic church. Thus, it is not protestant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.33.221.138 (talk) 17:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notes

I've added the Evangelical Free Church of America to the List of Christian denominations as Protestant list under "Misc. movement churches". I'm not sure if there is a better place to put them, and perhaps someone who is more familiar with them can make a better decision. I have a more detailed statement about this on Talk:List of Christian denominations. - Rlvaughn 02:24, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

It seems that the language in the article is a little confusing pertaining to the part about the changes made to the church's theology in 2005. The article says something along the lines that the revision seems to "eliminate Premillennialism... as [a] doctrinal standard". However, the EFCA link provided in the same paragraph distinctly demonstrates the EFCA church's belief in premillennialism. I suggest this language of this article be reviewed. - mvanzante 11:14 28 Jun 2006 (CDT)

No changes have been made yet - that section is referring to proposed changes to the denomination's Statement of Faith. --Tim4christ17 13:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP Calvinism?

While I appreciate any WikiProject wanting to help out with an article, it should be noted that the EFCA is not a Calvinist church, but is inclusive of both Armenians and Calvinists. (See our distinctives.) --Tim4christ17 talk 09:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
