Shaun: No, I'm not. It doesn't make a difference what church you go to, what matters is what you believe. It doesn't make a difference if you are Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Baptist, non-denomonational etc... unless you have been born again, you are not a Christian.

DADDIO: So what "matters", Shaun? What I believe or whether or not I’ve been born again? You’ve indicated both. I’ve asked this sort of question to dozens of other "born again" "believers" and have received several hundred different, mutually exclusive answers. You seem to have it well figured out. Please explain it to me.

Shaun: ……As time went on, churches started teaching unbiblical doctrines and some people were believing them. Then some people said "Wait a minute! What is going on here? Why are these people and churches straying away from what the Bible and Jesus says?" So those people broke away and called themselves protestants.

DADDIO: ….And that’s the story of trailer parks.

Shaun: So even though I attend a pentecostal church, which is
protestant, I don't consider myself pentecostal or protestant. I just consider myself a Christian.

DADDIO: So that means you’ve been "born again", right. Go ahead, Shaun, tell everybody what that means (I love this part).
