What's the difference between Quranist, God Alone and Quran Alone
-
There are many labels the Quran uses. Hudna is one, nasara is another. Sadiqeen is another. Saliheen is another. You yourself said muslim is a submitter. That is an adjective. Submitted to what? To God.
Peace Bigmo,
I'm afraid you are incorrect my friend, submitter is not an adjective but a noun.

non?sub?mis?si?ble, adjective"O ye who believe, fear Allah and keep company with those who are True
to their word" sadiqeen or the truthful ones in my opinion can be regarded as a
level of spiritual development and does not apply to all that are muslim.The Ummah of Muhammad was called Mu'min (believers), because of the depth
of their faith and certainty, and because they believed in all of the previous Prophets
and matters of the Unseen. Again I do not believe the term mu'min applies to
muslims in general because mu'min have attained certainty while many of the
general muslim population have not.Hudna or guided ones/ those on the path again does not apply to all muslims,
while one may have acknowledged God, it does not mean one is striving towards
upliftment.
Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has
guided, and those are people of understanding.You as a member of this forum should agree with the preceding anologies.
nasara or supporters/helpers, originally the followers of Jesus or supporters of
deen is an affable term but does not create enough distance between the two faiths.Pickthall And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath
chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your
father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this
(Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye
may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and
hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper!There is a distance between acknowledgment (beginning) and striving.
Thank you Bigmo
Peace

I used to just say I'm Muslim. But people immediately associate this term with long beards, hijab, a prophet who married a 6 year old (allegedly), crazy imams giving crazy fatwas, women having no rights, etc. Unfortunately Sunnis have hijacked the term "Muslim". I have little in common with them and don't want to be assumed to be one of them.
I now say I'm a "Quranist Muslim". This prompts them to ask what's that? And it gives me an opportunity to explain. I like it better this way.
Peace Aamer,
Can we give ourselves names not authorized by God? Is this the beginning of another sect?
It also may be that you are an example of muslim diversity in the eyes of those who ask!O0
