    So Abraham was a Christian, so was Moses, Elijah, etc

    the heresy of adoptionism

    There seems to be some slight double standards here.

        Ah, never mind. I assumed adoptionism was referring to that fringe practice some offshoots do where they “baptize” long-dead people they deem worthy and was comparing it to claiming pre-Christianity figures as Christian, but now I see it means something completely different.
