I'm not going out on any limb here, but I would strongly suggest that he is not a Christian. Anyone that would say Christianity is "radical", is likely no Christian. Not to mention the other unfounded charges he's made here about it.
Sounds to me like your going out on a limb!You think Christians should wear an arm band saying.....I'm a Christian? Or carry a Bible with them at all times. Sort of like waving a flag makes one Patriotic.
I suppose you would classify this man as non Christian!

No NW.. I don't recall seeing anyone saying anything about wearing an armband or carrying an omnipresent Bible..can you provide a reference such as a post # ? Indeed..it looks as if it is you who is 'making assumptions'..
I did take a look at the fellow named Chuck Baldwin..whoever he is... I cannot make any pronouncements upon the status of Baldwin's salvation; that's between him and God.. But reading some of his writings and sermons is an adventure..for instance where he states:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
" Evangelical Christians. Shoot (pun intended)! Most evangelical Christians didn’t even bat an eye when the federal government sent military and police personnel to murder American citizens, including old men, women, and children--Christian old men, women, and children, no less--outside Waco, Texas. And where are today’s evangelical Christians giving a second thought regarding their fellow Christian brothers and sisters in many of these Middle Eastern countries that are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and killed by the puppet regimes being put in power by the US government--at US taxpayer (including Christian taxpayer) expense? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but more Christians have been persecuted under the US-imposed regime in Iraq than were ever persecuted when Saddam Hussein was in power. Oh! And don’t forget that it was the US government that was responsible for putting Saddam Hussein in power to begin with. The US government set up Osama bin Laden, too. But I digress".^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, I can state with certainty he is obviously not very observant. Many Christians and other citizens are very upset at the mayhem perpetrated in Waco...and we spoke out very strongly here as well as elsewhere !!
He makes this claim, saying WE didn't do much about it...well, pardon me if I didn't see HIM at Waco with a machine gun and hand grenades..going after the FBI !!! ..CERTAINLY WE ALL DID JUST AS MUCH AS HE DID ABOUT IT !!!
Then he claims WE don't mind the suffering of Christians under Islamic dictators...well, again..I didn't see HIM in Iraq or Afghanistan, carrying an M-249 SAW gun and clenching a bayonet between his teeth..going after the dictators!!!
I do however, know personally several fine young Christian soldiers and Marines who have served in that combat. Who in tarnation is Chuck Baldwin to cast such judgement upon other Christians. EACH OF THOSE YOUNG TROOPERS DID TONS MORE ABOUT THE DICTATORS THAN HE EVER DREAMED OF !!! ...Well; ...maybe he DREAMED of it !!
Acccording to his own website, he strikes me as a "preacher" who is short on preaching the gospel and long on preaching CONSPIRACY THEORIES...
Baldwin sounds like a big blow-hard to me... but that's just my $ .02.....
Since you don't know who Baldwin is, let me help you out here!
Shucks! We can't be experts on all subjects can we?
Baldwin was a 2008 candidate for US President and represented the Constitution Party. (If you've never heard of them, I can give you their URL. He writes for several internet publications, but is seldom seen on Fox or other Liberal mainstream Soap.
He was a former Republican Party member, and was state chairman of the Florida Moral Majority in the 1980s. He left the party during the 2000 campaign of Republican George W. Bush for U.S. President. He endorsed Ron Paul ( He's a Rep from Texas)for the 2008 Republican nomination for president, and Paul in turn endorsed Baldwin for the presidency in the 2008 general election
He supports ending U.S. involvement in the United Nations, reducing U.S. income taxes, and repeal of the Patriot Act. He would withdraw troops from Iraq and seek to end illegal immigration by enforcing immigration laws. He supports the gold standard, the right to keep and bear arms, homeschooling, and the proposed Sanctity of Life Act, which would define "human life" and legal personhood as beginning at conception, and prevent federal courts from hearing cases on abortion-related legislation.
Sounds pretty Conservative.......Don't he? By the way! I have never heard Baldwin, or Ron Paul do anything but praise the Man or woman in uniform. As a matter of fact, they both received a lot of support from the military during the elections. His problem is with the governments foreign policies, and the Religious Rights blessings on these Unconstitutional wars.
