So in writing that previous post I ran into the old problem (again) of calling people 'Christian' when their beliefs and behaviors are really distinctive to a particular subset. It's not quite Evangelical, not quite Charismatic, not quite Fundamentalist, not quite ... well, any specific branch of theology or doctrine. But what to call it? What to refer to it when talking?

Fundagelical? Evangamentalist? Charigelalist? Johnnycakes?

It's been a while since I've been around, so I missed this point.

Fred Clark is "Slacktivist," the blogger who's been doing the Left Behind commentary for the past couple of years. "RTC" stands for Real True Christians: it does kind of capture the essential quality...
