gnostic universalism

Im not stuck on titles or labels. In my opinion ive grown pass that. I was just wondering because we believe in universal restoration, does that make us universalists or christian universalist? I was reading one of rays emails and some one called him a gnostic. I dont know much about gnosticism except it comes from the greek word gnosis which means "to know". I read an article where a guy called himself a gnostic universalist. If we are universalist then thats what we just are.

arion:
Personally, I'm not too hung up on labels.  Others are more than happy to stick them on you depending upon their own biases.  Even the term 'Christian' has conjured up so much false teaching that if I'm pressed I really don't even refer to myself as such.  If I have to use a label I'd either call myself a disciple or a believer and leave the rest to their imagination.   

Astrapho:
Mm yep, when people (who don't know that I'm supposed to be a catholic) ask, I just say that I'm non-denominational... I guess I'm just afraid that if I start calling us something then unscriptural stuff is going to creep in someday.

Phil3:10:
To all,
I have turned completely from the term Christian as I have evidenced so much untruth and hate in this word. I simply say that I am a follower of JESUS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, AND THE SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD. I want to be in HIS BODY as it is only IN HIM that we have life. All praise, honor and glory to HIM who is everything.
In HIM,
Phil3:10

markn902:
I refer to myself as an "independent christian" I didn't really put much thought into that term it just came up in conversation when someone was asking about a denomination or religion or something. I agree with the rest of the people here that say who cares about labels they mean nothing. I will be what I am and people will judge me based on whatever is in their heart. and thats ok with me  ;D
