Is RP Baptist or Protestant?

[winston84]

I've seen Ron Paul being listed as Baptist on some sites and Protestant on others. Which is he and does it make a difference?

I'm thinking if he is Baptist, he would attract more black voters.

Isn't Baptist just a subset of Protestant?

yes, protestant basically means not catholic, again I said basically.

I was raised Southern Baptist. A lot of co-mingling going on there.

I am a Christian, and hold everything anyone is "teaching" accountable to God's Word, and most organized man-religions in contempt.

to me, it seems that he's just "Christian". Yes, he attends at Baptist Church currently, but his views seem to just be "Christian" without the additional tags and descriptors.
