Denominations?

[osensnolf]

With so many people chosing 'Other', it would be nice to know what 'Other' really was. Any category that has 33% of all results needs to be divided a little better.

[absolutely_lost_86]

pentecostal

[Addict4JC]

I am an "Other".

Although it isn't a denomination I'm a Bible-Believing, Charismatic Christian but a Christian first and foremost.

Edit: I do attend Pentecostal churches though...

[Grl4Christ987]

I'm Pentecostal, duh, but consider myself a whole slew of stuff.

[Rochir]

Other as well - Christian Unitarian

[SparkyMel]

I'm not really sure... I go to an anglican church but I have a harder line on some issues than the anglican church. I don't believe all the stuff that Catholics believe either, so I'm kind of somewhere in between.

[*The_Lords_Gizmo*]

I am me! So I guess that would be NON-denominational

[Zenaide]

what do unitarians believe?

[Silent*Tears]

I am an Apostolic Pentecostal.

[jacko50]

im a pentecostal :)

[much_loved]

Im not really sure what I am. I used to be Christain Reformed, but I got away from that.

[><>InHisName<><]

Proud Catholic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beetlequeendiva]

my family and I attend a Church of Christ. Not to be confused with the ICOC or UCOC. We try to strictly adhere to the bible. We take no liberties with the word at all. If you haven't idenified us yet, we are the ones that don't use musical instruments in the worship service.

yup me too!!!

[lgintrnj]

non denominational

[~Blackangel~513~]

I attend a Baptist church.

[AngCath]

I'm Episcopalian :)

[plum]

I do not consider Messianics a denomination at all. So I said "other"

[I'ddie4him]

Which Christian denomination are you? Apologies if yours has been omitted.

I would have to say Non-Denominational w/Evangelical roots.

[princess_biscuit]

I'm a bit of everything...
I used to go Church of Scotland for morning service, Baptist for evening service and YF, Episcopalian for house group, and Catholic for a bible study group.
Now I don't actually go to any, but thats circumstances rather than choice. i'd still be doing the rounds if i could.

[ShilohCity]

i consider myself non-denominational and lean towards postmodernism

[big1968dog]

Although the church I attend is a Freewill Baptist, I do not consider myself anything other than a Christian... a sinner saved by grace.

[all things through Christ]

I believe what the Bible says and follow the way the Spirit leads me. I believe in spreading the Word of God.

[all things through Christ]

I follow what Christ says and don't care what people's opinions are

[all things through Christ]

"Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that's not the way of Christ." Colossians 2:8 (The Message)


Tell me how I can get this quote under my posts! I hate so many of the discussions on these forums because they never amount to anything! Even when it seems they would mean something at the end, so many of them don't. I'm going to look up that verse in other versions, too.

[all things through Christ]

2:8 Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. -NET Bible

Both translations are useful, it makes me want to learn geek!

[xray01]

non denominal chrisitian

[JCrick]

The one with the famous work ethic!

[progressivegal]

The one with the famous work ethic!

Amish eh? ("Not like those Shiftless Menonites"[Thank you Marge Simpsons ;)])
Hey, what are you doing on the internet!

[The Blue Stare]

I'm just a christian. I have the basics, but other than that i'm often quite confused but I don't trust people to teach me much else, and you really can't blame me. I stay away from denominations, they scare me. (not to offend anyone who's in a denomination)

[MagicSteve]

Free Church

[pi_dude]

Assembly of God

[BillR]

I'm not quite sure:scratch:

[Fundamental4Ever]

-NET Bible

Both translations are useful, it makes me want to learn geek!


GEEK?! ^_^


I assume you meant Greek?

Of course there are alot of geeky Christians, present company included... (in other words... me!)

^_^ ;)

[Fundamental4Ever]

With a handle such as mine, it should be obvious what I am...


Baptist.

Pat

[ProLaoPo]

When I was a child, I attended Anglican church as it was my aunt who brought me to Sunday School in the church she attended. And later during my teen, I joined the Girls' Bridage in a Methodist church and subsequently got baptised there. Now, I attend Charismatic church with my family. :)

[Maize]

Other

[HisLilyWhitePrincess]

Non-denominational

[KrazyPhish]

Anglican by tradition

[DollarDog]

truely, i believe it should be 100% other. after three years of church, i was still uncertain of what kind of church i was going to. i figured i was evangelical, but i was actually pentecost.

[CowboyDan]

I was raised secular/non-religious. I am now a United Methodist and I love it. I also visit Catholic, Episcopal, and Presbyterian services (PCUSA).

-CowboyDan

[Maja]

I was raised protestant, which I have always believed meant I was Christian. Thought I'd better look it up in Webster's! From what it says, it is non-denominational, Christian. That would be me!:wave:

Prot·es·tant [ próttəstənt (http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/Pronounce.aspx?search=protestant) ] (plural Prot·es·tants)

noun Definitions: 1. member of church rejecting papal authority: a member or adherent of any denomination of the Western Christian church that rejects papal authority and some fundamental Roman Catholic doctrines, and believes in justification by faith. The formulation of Protestants' beliefs began with the Reformation in the 16th century.

[lightfollowsdarkness]

i was "raised" anglican, have attended a pentecostal church for two years now [mostly because of the youth program there], and also sometimes attend a baptist church, and i attend a community church for sunday night youth services twice a month.
i believe in unity, rather than division in the body of Christ.
we are all the Church. i am a Christian. i don't find division necessary.

[skipper]

I was raised Pentacostal but I am now very confused about denominations and have been trying new Churches to try to find were I fit in.:confused:

[AnDr3000]

i'm a Baptist. but. there are no denominations in heaven. so there's no diff.
you're either a follower of Christ. or you're not.
you either believe in the scripture, or you dont.
you have faith, or none.

[ce58]

I'm a cradle Catholic. I was born into the Catholic church and baptized about a month latter.

[Stacey]

I'm in the Baptist Church, but there're things I really agree with in the church, and things that I believe more from other Christian denominations. It's all about Jesus, less a title I guess.

[artaxbombadil]

Christian :)

[RN4CHRIST]

I am a Baptist, but I agree with the other poster who said there are going to be NO denominations in heaven. We will be the Bride of Christ! I just agree with the Baptist doctrine.

[Brooke4Jesus]

dont alot of those denom's fall under Protestant.
I go to an assemblies of God church - pentecostal

[PastorJason]

Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

[3kidsmom]

Mennonite

[Athene]

Born-again.

[Lake]

the church of the rescued christian?I don't have one anymore.maybe soon or when my soul gets fired up again. I do a basic non-denom church if I go at all.Heinz 57 christians.



I know Jesus.

[kerux]

My denom is simple I am: Christian, that's it, nothing more.

[Ohiomom2]

I am a non denominational Bible believing Christian. There were no denominations in the time of Jesus within the Christian church and they went by Christian only so I don't feel a need to stay with one denomination although I feel a oneness with the Anabaptist faith I have a hard still identifying with one denom as I don't feel Jesus would be pleased with all of the division.

[megageezer]

:) Looks like ' Other ' takes the poll. I attend a B.A.S.I.C. Church of GOD. I'm not sure I've ever seen a listing for "church of GOD". Maybe it should be listed also.

[Witness Of His Love]

Wow so many "others". I don't have a denomination but I am a child of God. I believe Jesus died for my sins and I will conquer death like he did and live with him forever.

[gemini_swede]

So I put "Protestant" even though I usually put "Other" on forms. I go to a Covenant church, which is basically a denomination of Lutheran, yet it's alot less traditional.

[Kalibeth]

I attend a Non -Denominational church which believes in teaching the word of God.

Christ's Love To all, Kalibeth

[Diego84]

Like everyone else here seems to be saying, I'm pretty much non-demominational, even though I go to a Mennoninte Brethern church, and it most accurately represents my views.

[DivineFiliation]

I like polls. :)

[grrltoangl]

im a christian so i put other

[godisgr8]

pentecostal

[Quentin]

Catholic

[Rome]

Baptist

[4square]

non-denominational. ;)

[Cooter]

Baptized Lutheran, but I'm really just a non-denom. christian

[Sisof8]

protestant, but i am reformed charismatic

[agyevesam]

:crossrc: Protestant by birth, Catholic by grace and choice. :priest:

[GlobalNomad1960]

I put protestant, even though it isn't really a denomination. It's like everyone who is not catholic are protestant. I am actually a non-denominational Bible believing Christian.

I would classifiy myself in the same manner and add, "One saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Chirst alone.":amen:

[Tishri1]

Messianic Judiasm:wave:

[ctay]

I'm a Lutheran.....

[yfriday lover]

non denominational as i enjoy lots of different styles of worship ranging from high church with incense to contemporary to the local methodist chapel down the road

[wfcamb]

I am Non-Denominal..

God Bless! † ;)

[Lori-lee]

I am non-denominational. I go to a non-denominational church in the city, partly just because i move house a lot and this one is on public transport routes and always central.lol. I suppose i am really more inter-denominational than non-denominational in that i dont reject labels/denominations, i just dont fit one perfectly.lol.

[GodFlute2]

Other!

[Amy47]

Not too sure but I go to an evangelical church

[Followers4christ]

Im a non-denominational Christian.God Bless

[SharonL]

Well don't know what to call myself - Raised Nazarene, Married Catholic, Went to Lutheran to meet in the middle, became Spirit Filled, Went to Methodist - don't like to be labeled anything - so that makes me a non-denominational Spirit Filled Bible Believing Christian.

[singtothelord]

I attend a church that has a lot of people from different backgrounds or demoniations. My church is Christian in general

[hopeforatree]

messianic. not a denomination really.

[shamrocker]

i'm on my way to becoming catholic. :angel: but for now i put other. :)

[cygnusx1]

I am a Baptist Calvinist Protestant Puritan Christian .......... I belong to no denomination. :D

[crusader4peace]

im an indian orthodox christian. but frankly speaking i don't like denominations. i dream of a christian world where we are all united and not divided over some silly issues.

[Godslilgurlalways]

I clicked penetcostal but I am nondenominal where I live both are very similar. Use to go to one but I am nondenomational and I go to a nondemonational church;)

[handmaiden97]

Im a bapticostal!!! Does that work somewehre between baptist and pentacostal/charismatic.

[meowmie]

I was raised Lutheran and cannot remember not knowing Christ

I am now a member of a Southern Baptist church. At 58, I am closer to the Lord than I have ever been. I have more of a burden for the lost than I ever dreamed was possible.

I am not saying that many Lutheran's are not saved but rather that Baptists seem to put more empasis on reaching others for Christ. We are called to be "fishers of men".

I now feel like I am doing what He has called me to do. I sometimes think regretfully that I have wasted time in not following His calling. But I believe He forgives me for my shortcomings and is rejoicing that I am now living for Him.

[gal4God]

Methodist

[mightywarrior77]

Which Christian denomination are you? Apologies if yours has been omitted.
Actually Non-Denominational. We accept all denominations. We just love and accept everyone. God loves us all!!

[TeresaOfLisieu]

I put Catholic as I am a rather cathoilic charismatic. But I am considering converting to Orthodoxy. Yet, I don't really believe in denms. I don't think it's what our Lord wants for us, to remain separated. I love all christians, rregardless of denoms and I should even say I love all my brothers and sisters regardless of their religion. :)
Blessings to all, my brothers and sisters

[Notrom]

I like these polls so I'm not critsizing, just commenting!!!! Denominations aren't that important as long as we reach the same conclusions!:angel:

[californiadreamin]

Non-denominational

[cubanito]

Strange poll... I thought it was understood that all true Christians belong to the PCA :)

now, now, that was a joke people...

JR

[Surak]

I have developed a mistrust of denominations. Any time I've seen a physical church, there were ellements of that church that saught money, influance and power of any kind. I know there are good church bodies out there, but I haven't been fortunate enough to be around any of them.

[Ceili]

non~denom Christian fellowship church:holy:

[LavenderMoon]

[meh]

I am a member of an American Baptist Church.

[diana_ch]

Brought up as a Baptist n currently I'd say Pentecostal

[mattsmom]

Bible believing non-denominational

[HaNeulDanashrii]

I choose 'other' although I attend a Pentecostal church. Im a christian chica and Gods Word is my guiding light. I dont see what is so particularly pentecostal about my faith, but i do feel at home in the church I attend.

[prettyrose436]

Baptist

[Papa01]

Wesleyan:clap:

[Ceili]

and that's all I will ever be.:) Bible believing non-denominational

[Babiie_deE]

Pentecostal :D

[jul7246]

Well, I am a Protestant, tho I don't really like the idea of different denominations. Don't they only divide the Church of God? My church is classified as an "evangelical church" =)
I believe in Jesus. I believe in the price He paid for saving me. I believe He rose again. That's what matters =)
God bless!

[YellowSapphire]

Presbyterian. I thought it was one of the biggest denominations in American, but the poll doesn't reflect that.

[newyorknewyork]

Vineyard

[newyorknewyork]

i honestly dont even understand what the difference is between all these denominations! :confused:

i love the church i am part of

[CardinalBaseball]

Presbyterian

[cubanito]

Presbyterian. I thought it was one of the biggest denominations in American, but the poll doesn't reflect that.

I'm a Presby, the biggest in the USA are the Southern Baptists, whom I greatly respect and would have no problem joining.

JR

[cathmomof3]

Very commited Catholic...I wish everyone could experience the grace that is available through the sacraments of the Catholic church. I pray that one day all christians will return home.:crosseo:

[one_way]

[NewGuy101]

I didn't vote because you didn't have non-denom

:mad:

[If Not For Grace]

I was dunked baptist, but I share many non traditional views and seem more like a Lutheran to my self and have "other" beliefs as well.

[mysecrets]

im a member at a mennonite brethren church so i put other since its not listed. I have also attended vineyard, pentecostal, non-denonminational, alliance, and baptist churches in my time moving around as a christian. Im with the "im a bible-believing christian " ...cant remember who said that here. The denomination i choose just reflects where i feel connected most to God and his people. Its the style of worship i like too...easy for me to connect to.
kait

[If Not For Grace]

Wow alot of Baptists. I have a question why so few Threads in the Baptist/Anabaptist section with so many baptists?

[Gukkor]

I subscribe to no denomination. While I appreciate the worship and discussion aspects of church, I don't need an organization telling me what my beliefs should be.

I've always simply considered myself a Bible believing Christian. I have no loyalty to a particular denomination.

I did vote Pentecostal since I attend a Pentecostal church, but I don't like to label my faith. I consider myself more a bible believing Christian.

[FluffyBadger]

Can I apply for one?

[Coder]

I am Catholic but read works of Martin Luther and enjoy the preaching of Spurgeon and other Protestant ministers.

Matty

[TurtleTamer]

I'm not a big fan of self identifying by denomination. why would I say "I follow paul" or "I follow Peter" when we all follow Jesus?

[dledinger]

Christian with a capital "C", baptist with a little "b".

[VictoriasImage77]

Cool poll!

[Anamnesis]

ha! look at that! baptists are rare, presbyterians are even rarer! lol, looks like i'm the only presbyterian.
I sure could have used one of those as my HRM when I asked back in April.

[Melanie91]

Wow, there are a lot of Baptists!!! (I'm one!!!)

[PrincessBaker]

I am none-denominational

[EmperorConstantine]

Seeing as my view of denominations differ from popular opinion...

I'll take Orthodox anyway!

[darenlesterministries]

Penetcostal.

[sk8brdkd]

I checked Other. I have been attending my home church since I was little which is a Non Denomination church.

Tho, recently, I have been attending a different church once a month and i like it just have no idea what its denomination actually.

Have always wanted to attend a CMA church bc my college sort of was CMA (Christian and Missionary Alliance) --and always wanted to try it out but never did! Anyone here go to a CMA church??? How is it?

[Rick Otto]

Now I'm Anti-Denominational.
I am X-Catholic & X-Protestant.:cool:

[PixieSunbelle]

I just refer to myself as having a relationship with Jesus Christ....
I have thought and came to this conclusion and believe that it is a good one. As of now, i do not belong to a church- i have yet to find the right one.

[JPPT1974]

Voted Baptist but really consider
Myself non-denominational.

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

I am a Methodist. The denomination has its flaws (as they all do), but its foundation is solid (unlike some of its ideas of today). I hope it halts its fast track to being a liberal place and returns to its foundation though.

[NostalgicGranny]

Completed the poll.
