Hi all. I'm a lifelong Christian. I'm non-denominational but pretty much a standard conservative ordinary Christian with mostly orthodox Protestant views.

Hi,, ok welcome aboard.
Excerpt
Protestant Orthodoxy, also called Protestant Scholasticism, phase of orthodoxy that characterized both Lutheran and Reformed theology after the 16th-century Reformation. Protestant Orthodoxy understood Christianity as a system of doctrines, and thus its emphasis was on “right doctrine.”
In Lutheranism the period of orthodoxy began about 1560 with the theological effort to reunite the factions that had developed after Martin Luther’s death. The “golden age” of orthodoxy ended about 1700, but it remained a potent force until much later.
The central aspects of orthodox Lutheran theology included the primacy of the inerrant Bible; the forgiveness of sins exclusively by divine grace for Christ’s sake through faith as the core of the biblical message; and the vital roles of baptism, absolution, and the Eucharist. Other key aspects were reverence for the historic creeds, especially the doctrine of Christ, and a strong defense of the Lutheran position in comparison with Roman Catholicism, Reformed Protestantism, and Socinianism, a form of Unitarianism
OK, we got a feel of you.
