Yeah, all of those *called themselves* "Christians." All (except--perhaps--Augustine) would have gravely risked their lives, their freedom, and/or their social position if they had dared to call themselves anything else. And none of them would qualify as "Christians" by the Falwell/Robertson/Swaggert/Graham standards for who is--and is not--"Born Again."
