A question came up recently as to which Protestant churches do not accept the first six Ecumenical Councils. This leads to related questions as to the definition of "Protestant." And that, in turn, leads to the question "who decides whether a church is Protestant or not?" For this site, the tag "Protestantism" is: > a broad tradition referring to the churches which > broke from the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th Century and those > that descended from them. This leaves the door open to a large range of churches and leaves open the question as to whether any church that evolved from a Reformation tradition may be considered Protestant: for example those of the Second Great Awakening in the United States (including the LDS and Seventh Day Adventists) or small Oriental Sects that emerged from the activities of various Protestant missionaries in the 20th century. I have decided for purposes of this question not to seek an answer to the question "which post-Reformation churched should be *considered* Protestant." That would be an opinion-based question and various answers might exclude churches that consider themselves to be Protestant. Therefore the question is: Which post-Reformation Churches consider themselves to be Protestant? ------------- *Note*: Perhaps someone else could try to create a question about the definition of Protestantism that would not be closed as opinon-based.
