Denominations?

[Droobie]

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

[Mandy]

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.

[Blackwing]

I'm attending an CM&A church here in the Philippines.

Might be classified as alliance but also evangelical.

[solo66 man]

I like to say I am simply a Christian, but have pentecostal leanings, because they believe in more of the gifts of the Holy
Spirit without being overly cautious. I do believe we need to exercise some caution, though.
I chose other.

[Apologist]

Hey! Us Baptists are sure rare these days! :)
I know, denominations don't mean much, but I thought I'd have a little fun with it.

God Bless

[RNwannabe]

I am Pentcostal. :)

[TheBear]

I selected 'Other'. I'm with Mandy...a non-denominational, Bible believing Christian.

John

[oncewaslost]

ha! look at that! baptists are rare, presbyterians are even rarer! lol, looks like i'm the only presbyterian.

[Dee]

I have attended a non-denominational, Bible preaching, Bible believing church for the past 30 years. I guess I would check,
Other on this poll.

[InspectorVol]

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.

[Josh]

I am actually a non-denominational Bible believing Christian.
Yay! Me too.

[Wolseley]

Roman Catholic. :)

And I see I'm very outnumbered, so far. :lol:

[Josh]

Why is Catholic listed as a denomination? Catholicism is not a denomination, it is a religion seperate from Christianity, like Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.

[Martin]

I am actually a non-denominational Bible believing Christian.

Amen to that.....!

I find no basis in scripture for denominations. What I do see is a grouping based on geography (church at Ephesus, Corinth, Galatia etc).

Even though we have Baptist in the name of our church (history etc.) we have had no significant connection with the Baptist Union over the last twenty years (I say significant because they do in fact operate as trustees for the deeds of the Lord's building - which He kindly let's us occupy).

As we have grown together with other like-minded churches (i.e. bible-believing and Spirit-filled churches) in the town, who also have denominational tags, we have seen a greater release of power and unity. (I'm beginning to realise that I'm not able to accurately describe to you the situation so that you don't get the wrong picture or misunderstand)

I see relationship as being a key in Christianity - relationship with the Father, relationhip with others. Even on that basis, I don't believe that you can have a real relationship with other fellowships scattered around the country who you might see once a year, but I do see that you can have a relationship with other Christianfellowships in your own town.

The true Church consists of all those believers who are in relationship with the Father, know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and are filled with the Spirit of God - I trust that includes you....

Right on target! :)

[nyj]

Hey Wolseley, I of course stated I am Catholic too, but it doesn't seem to be registering as a "vote" for me (still says only 1 Catholic participated in this poll). So consider yourself no longer alone. :)

As for Josh's comments. You are right, Catholicism does not consider itself a denomination, but rather considers itself one of the first Christian faiths. Same goes for the Coptic's and Orthodox. (Denominations did not come into play until after the Reformation) Funny however that Catholicism and Orthodoxy share almost identical beliefs but you did not target them for your disparaging remarks. :confused:

At any rate, rather than get into a huge debate over my status as a Christian or not (or perhaps your status as a Christian), let me just say that if you profess a belief in the Triune God, have faith in Jesus Christ (truly man and truly God), and do your best to live up to His commands, I consider you a Christian. We can work out our differences at a later date, but for now let us rejoice together in our shared brotherhood as adopted sons and daughters of God.

Deo iuvante,
NYJ

PS: Hi Ric. Remember me? ;)

[oncewaslost]

actually, i don't think catholics are anything "like" jehova witness or mormons. yes, there are some beliefs i think are a little far fetched but not all catholics are condemned because they're catholic. i have some great catholic friends that are christians.

[gzuznme]

I was brought up Baptist, got saved under nondenominational, because my husband is a Methodist, I, for the moment, belong to an AME church, but, I praise God that denominations will not have a part in Gods Kingdom, because all it does, is cause separation, just what the enemy wants to do. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty, that is what I want to be a part of. I am praying for the Lord to speak to my husband and that he will Hear and know its time to move on.

[tericl2]

Well, i was raised Baptist, and I still hold mainly with their theology. However the inattention paid to the spiritual gifts (i.e. tongues, prophecy) has led me to a non-denominational church, which is theologically very close to the Baptists, but has the joy and fun that alot of baptist churches are missing.
So, I guess I am probably closer to penecostal than anything.

Anyway---all of this just to say that I hate the labels. Are you a believer in Christ or not?? :)

[Crono]

This poll is a little tough to understand since "Protestant" covers a large number of denominations. I'm a member of the Church of the Nazarene, which would be considered Protestant, so that's what I chose.

[Warrior for Jesus]

I put Catholic, although Catholic isn't a denomination.

[lindalou40]

I too, grew up Baptist, went to a "non-denominational" church because of praying in tongues, but I came out of that church because of the word of faith momvement....

got a computer last year and now one mmight call me a


tongue praying, fundamentalist, head covering woman who celebrates the Biblical holidays (at the least we are learning about them ;) ).

Also I no longer go to a church, but we have church here at home.

Just thought I would be different :D

Linda

[WannaBeLikeHim]

Another question for someone. Was it our sin nature...Pride... that different faiths came about? I quess today is one of those days that I am seeking more and more. Thanks!!

Right on target! No, it isn't 'right on target'. Neither of you even hit the side of the barn much less the target.

Get some information before you go and post things like that. It was really very hurtful.

Hello!

I (like a good majority of Korean Christians) belong to the Korean Presbyterian Church. Sadly, like in the United States, the Korean church has many many denominations and sects. Within the Korean Presbyterian Church alone, i believe there are around 100 different sects. Amazing eh?

[AndiLynn]

I go to an independent Christian church

[HITR]

I would be one of those pentecostals, although I simply tend to go by born again Christian. ;) :D

[RayNay714]

I am pentecostal!

[ZiSunka]

I call myself a "Christian-at-large."

[CoramDeo]

i do not like the state of the christian church, too divided and not unified enough...I go to a baptist church but i in no way consider myself a baptist. there is no perfect denominations (or christians for that matter). So I am just a Christian.

[susabean]

You don't list what I am! I am an Episcobapticostal!

(Thats how much value I put on labels, eh? hehehe)

Seriously, I started out Catholic, and because of a disagreement over an interpretation of scripture, was told by our priest that I was a heretic and to join the methodists....which I did. When I married, my dh was in a fundamental church and I was in a methodist church so we compromised and went to a Foursquare church! The 4sq church had a terrible split after 10 years, so from there, we ended up in an AOG church, which also had a terrible split....but we left because of irreconcilable issues that we attempted for a year to reconcile before leaving....from there to a baptist church for a few months, until we settled into a wonderful Episcopal church. Whew! Do you have a box for just plain "Bible believing"?

I tend to be eclectic in all things, I guess....:-)

Blessings,
Tammy

[called]

hmm.... that's a lot of moving churches. :eek:

[susabean]

Yes, it is. We were at the first church as a family together for almost 6 years. When it split we were *very* shattered. I can only liken the feeling to what a child must go through when parents divorce. We had people on both sides of the split telling us why the other side was wrong and operating under the "spirit of Jezebel". We felt like a Pushme-Pullyou for some time, our loyalties were stretched and tested....we lost friends on both sides of the issue because we refused to take sides. We simply left to be out of the situation. We chose the second church after some prayer and were there about 4 years. We got *severely* hurt there, and in the year or so we attempted to reconcile the issues, we were stonewalled and badly mistreated. After we left, there was a HUGE split in that church as well due to the pastor having been caught in some unnamed sin, but I think that the split was more because of the way he treated people. I believe that spiritual abuse from those in power is a very real thing after having attended that church. The baptist church was one church we attended in the effort to resettle into a church. We did not settle there because we had no peace there....couldn't get connected, etc. It was a really nice church, and my homeschool oversight group is through it! But it wasn't what God had for us.

We have attended a lot of churches, but given the amount of hurt we have witnessed, (and experienced!!) it is somewhat remarkable we even still attend! LOL! We have learned how important it is to look to God and not to man, and to speak up for what is right, not what is popular....we have also learned that God is in control of ALL things, that He uses ALL things for good, and that NO ONE is above being deceived and used to hurt others. We are all imperfect people attending imperfect churches attended and led by other imperfect people. It is ONLY when we focus on Christ that we have half a chance of maintaining unity. We were made for relationships....first with God, and then with others, and that is a powerful need that others can take advantage of and manipulate. I have learned that fear of man is NOT of God.

HOWEVER....we KNOW we were led to Ascension. Neither my husband nor myself EVER imagined that we would attend an Episcopal church, as we did not care for the liturgical style of worship, but prefererred a more charismatic, contemporary style. It was truly a work of God that we are there, so I feel pretty confident we will remain settled for quite some time.

Hope that explains a bit further! LOL!

Tammy

We go to First Baptist Church of Orlando Florida. But if your asking me my beliefs, I'm Just a Born Again Christian. Jesus prayed that we would be as one, no divisions amongst us. So thats the way I try to live.

[Caedmon]

I attend a Southern Baptist church. However, I prefer to be identified as Reformed, Calvinist for those of you who don't know what Reformed is. And no, I don't worship John Calvin. I believe in all five points of Calvinism: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints. Yay! :clap:

I go to an assemblies of God, here in Arizona.

[Blynn]

I am also non-denominational. :)

[hope]

I too believe that Christians are not unified enough. With all the labels and "denomination" names, we are too diversified. It makes people wonder "Which Church speaks the truth?" Which denomination has the truth of God? This is my problem with Denominations.. I consider myself Christian too. I am Catholic, but I am very upset with all the Scandals in the Catholic Church. :( I am thinking about leaving.. :scratch: This is why I am interested in learning more about other Christian Chruchs.... Thanks, Hope

[Nyki]

i am exactly what 6littleblessings said! :)

[Defender of the Faith 777]

And as for all Evangelical Christians/born-again Christians? I can't respond to that poll, but Baptist will most definently do.

[SCJ]

Chose Baptist since that is the type of Church I currently attend. I would actually be Protestant though. Like some here I have also attended CMA churches when I was away from the South in the Army. CMA is Christian Missionary Alliance, and I was very pleased with them as well.

[God Fixation]

Southern Baptist all the way! lol, Although being in Alaska there isn't much 'southern' about it. But yeah, our church is far less strict than most southern baptist churches. With the arival of a new music minister we're starting to 'get into' the worship a little more, making it more interesting and what not. I mean hymns are great and all but praise songs and a little percusion can add a whole lot!!!

[NRutman]

I don't belong to a "denomination" per say. The church of which I am a member of belongs to PDI (Proclaiming God's Grace, Developing Local Churches, Influencing Our World With The Gospel), a network of local churches, which agrees on common doctrine and has a well developed leadership hierarchy (in many ways, I think our churches are better cared for than most denominations care for their churches). To give you some idea of our doctrine, we would say that we are "essentially reformed with a significant charismatic dimension". We hold fast to most of the Scripture-based ideas of the reformers and puritans, but believe that Scripture is clear that the gifts have not ceased. For more information, feel free to check out our website (http://www.pdinet.org/).

[jimigold]

I am actually a non-denominational Bible believing Christian.

Yup that's me all over. I go to a Church of England church
and all but i also go to a "house" group thingy which accepts everyone. I believe that there shouldn't be too much of a fuss about what denomination you are it's the same god isn't it?
When you look at the trouble we've got in Ireland (Protestants v. Catholics) well you can draw your own conclusions.

[mambutuu]

Iwas raised baptist/Evangelical free but went to Pentecostal church in college.

I like pentecostalism but I don't like how it creates two types of christians. I got the gift of tongues but alot of my friends never got it and I felt bad for them that they were sort of 'out of the loop.' So I currently am looking for a non penttecostal church to call my home church. I am currently without a church home.

[Plan 9]

I belong to a United Methodist Church. I agree that denominations are more convenient than important. I was saved in a non-denominational Assembly of God like church and have enjoyed worship and fellowship with all sorts of Christians!

[Joyce]

I'm a Bible believing Christian visiting and serving in a pentecostal Church and also serving in a non-denominational women ministry.

[ServantOfTheLord]

I was "baptised" Catholic as a baby and then never really taken to church. I would catch rides with friends and neighbors who would go to church so I ended upin many different churches ex. Catholic, Methodist, Mormon. My mom got involved with the Jehovah's Witness' at one point. I stayed away from church for many years (for reasons that are not appropriate for this thread) and when I began searching again I visited 4+ Baptist churches....and then finally I prayed fro God to show me where I belonged and he told me I needed to look at the people I knew who went to church and se who was bearing the most fruit. So I did and I ended up at my current church which is an Assembly of God.

I voted Pentacostal, although I am not too fond of the labels either.

In His Service,

I voted Pentecostal, because I am one. I go to an Assembly of God church though.

Thank you for pointing that out.  I was scrolling to see if anyone would and if not, I was going to.

There is a BIG difference.  PCUSA is very liberal, women and homosexual pastors, divorced pastors, woman elders, pro choice (still can't figure that one out).  Many of them even hold the view that since the bible was put on paper by man it contains flaws, therefore it is not necessary to adhear to all of it.  Just the parts you like.

P.C.A. however, adheres to the Word of God.  Period.  And P.C.A. is very reformed.

You said it all. There have been so many division caused by denominational differences. Amazingly enough, many believe that it really matters to God which denomination they're in. God did not create denominations, people did. God could care less whether you're in a pentecostal church, or maybe a quiet Baptist church. God looks at the heart of a person, not their church affiliation.

God didn't ask me which church did I intend on attending before He accepted me, rather He looked at my heart.

Keep loving Him and serving Him with all your heart.

[MsAnne]

Good answer, Matrix. Simple, to the point.

I belong to a Foursquare church. It's kind of Pentecostal-Lite. hehe. Some are more charasmatic than others. Ours is rather reserved. I love it.

[Janice]

I belong to a nondenominational Christian church so I said "Protestant." Like many others, I think that talking about denominations has a tendency to divide rather than unite us. But we are still interested in knowing what others believe.

It is like trying to find out if a person is a democrat or a republican. We want to know if they are "one of us."

We are not a denomination - neither do we believe in the denominal system or thinking. :eek: We accept other denominations as Christian - don't get me wrong. ;) But we believe in the corporate visible unity and union of all the children of God in one body with one faith; as well as our spiritual commonality in Christ as believers. :angel:

i agree with a ton of people on here when they say that denominations don't really matter. as long as u believe n and have faith n Jesus Christ, and that He IS God's son, you are a child of God. well, anyway, here on earth I am Baptist, 2 b more specific, Southern Baptist but that is just another seperation between Chrsitians. Southern Baptist isn't my official stand really as it is the church that I go to. I do believe though that God gives us the power to speak to someone and have the Holy Spirit speak to their heart. I'm not really what you would call some "Old Baptist", first off cuz i'm not old. but no matter what church it is that i or anyone else decides 2 go 2, its the same if u believe that Christ Jesus is the Messiah. the only acception 2 this stance would b the 144,000 Jews that will be take out of the 12 tribes of Israel in the last days, but thats another story. God Bless!!!

[Francie]

I attend a Baptist church, but most importantly am a child of GOD!

[WorshipTheLamb]

Full Gospel.

[Follower of Christ]

what is Full Gospel ?

I think I may have heard of it but I have never seen it on a church sign or know anyone in it.

[357magnum]

I attend a non-denomination church that teaches the Gospel of God's Grace. Many would call it a Bible church. The name on the church is an address. Most of my family believes that denominational names are nothing but man's tags and designs.

[Miyu]

I am now attending a four square church...so I picked pentecostal...

but as so many of you have said, belonging to the Body of Christ does not depend on denomination...after spending several months in a non-Christian country, with only a few Chirstians to fellowship with, I learned exactly how unimportant denomination really is...

[Chase]

I am Baptist.

[WashingtonPenguin]

well, baptists aren't that rare ;-) anyway I think it doesn't matter wot denomination you are, as long as you follow our God and Jesus Christ

[pixelicious]

I voted Methodist since we are currently attending a United Methodist church. However, I grew up Presbyterian and have attended Episcopal, Baptist, Evangelical and Bible (non-denom) churches. I consider myself more non-denominational, because I don't really go by denomination when choosing a church. My only concern is that the church I go to teaches the Bible.

[Icystwolf]

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.

So am I, but I call myself a freelancer....sounds cool I think.

Wanna make the name for non-denominational Bible believing Christian Freelancers?

Otherwise, I'd still call myself and a couple of my other friends freelancers!

[Messenger]

Im with Mandy and The Bear....I put other. I am non-denomination.

What do you believe, maybe you can PM me?

[tmak]

hmmmm.... ack! Mennonites arnt listed!!

[Blessed33]

If I only knew the difference I could chose...
I was baptised Episcolanian (sp?), but right now I go to a Methodist church and a nondenominational church. There is a Baptist college that I'd like to go to, however...
Hehe, call me what you want.

[Globexgirl]

I don't like denominations I put other because I don't believe in denominations.

[Bastoune]

I don't like denominations I put other because I don't believe in denominations.

I don't like them either. Most were formed out of a divisive spirit, not one of trying to "be one as the Father and I are one" as Jesus prayed.

I am Catholic, and Capuchin Franciscan postulent to be exact! :priest:

[cc297]

Their question is "what Christian denomination are you?" My question is.... must you be baptised into that denomination to say you are of that denomination or just attend that church? I am a Christian but have yet to be baptised. Therefore, my answer when asked that question is...I attend a C&MA church.

[Lotar]

You forgot to add non-denominational ;)

[Revolution Cry]

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.


ditto.

[kiwichristian]

Well, I dont really call myself a denomination, but a christian :D
I voted protestant, coz Im not a catholic.
I do have pentecostal roots tho.
But generally, I am a non-denominational christian:)

[prince didymus]

I voted Other because I'm an Anglican, though of course I'm a Christian before that.

[hb1]

I attend A Vineyard Christian Fellowship, which is sort of an empowered evangelical denomination. It is basically kind of a mixture of the best of the baptist/evangelical denominations with the empowerment of the Spirit as in pentecostal/charismatic traditions. So I chose other since this wasn't an option.

[Dawn11]

Presently I attend a Mennonite Brethren church, but before that had attended a Calvary Chapel fellowship for years.

[BarbB]

Currently "poly-denominational" - but that wasn't a choice! LOL! I was baptised into Presby., saved by and confirmed into Episcopal, attend Methodist and C&MA. I love them all and thank God for them daily!

[grinding_willi]

I went with 'other' because, although i attend an Anglican church, i'm non-denominational. I adhere to the teachings of the Word and try not to let the rules that the world have imposed on Christianity, get in the way. But to clarify that, i don't have anything against the denominations...*has a feeling he's digging a hole*

[HisJavajunkie]

I am a Baptist

[JeffreyLloyd]

Hello a Baptist :P

[Achichem]

I am a follower in United Church of God/Bethel Church of God;

But I am truly just a follower in Jesus Christ like the rest of you all here;you have place better words for it then i ever could so all i say is "dit-o for me"

[Maximus]

Still interested in the on-going results of this poll, so I want to bump it up.

[tinkerbell]

I'm a Seventh Day Adventist Christian. The biggest thing that jumps out at people about us is that Saturday is our Sabbath instead of Sunday. There are so many misconceptions about us too. The most important thing is that we believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ, and hold the Bible as the supreme authority. We use it as our guide book for life. It is the written Word of God. If you have heard anything about us and are curious, let me know. For more info, check out www.adventist.org or e-mail me at laurettabear@yahoo.com.

[OnenessWoman]

Hi Tinkerbell!

I'm quite familiar with Seventh Day ( I went to Maplewood Academy in for high school)

I know what you mean about the misconceptions with the Sabbath. People are still today asking why there are so many cars there on a Sat and not on a Sun.

God Bless you!

[Etharia]

I am charismatic.

[Bayhawks13]

[ms_lizzie]

I wonder how many would poll in as Alliance?

[Gentle Panther]

I attend a Unitarian Universalist fellowship/church. I am a very liberal Christian. Some would say I am not Christian, period. I am still in a state of figuring out what I do and don't believe....which must be why my blessings are in minus state:confused::cry:

[OnenessWoman]

which must be why my blessings are in minus state:confused::cry:


You know that verse that says "you have not because you ask not"??
;) You're getting "blessings" daily...you're probably too busy to see them.

As long as YOU see yourself as a Christian, it doesn't matter what anyone calls you, right? The only thing that's important is the way that your light is reflected.

God Bless!

Could you tell me more about the Unitarian church? My Grandfather wants his funeral there, and I don't know anything about it. However, considering that my Grandfather is a devout atheist, I wonder why he is prone to choosing a Unitarian church? Any thoughts?

[Gentle Panther]

Could you tell me more about the Unitarian church? My Grandfather wants his funeral there, and I don't know anything about it. However, considering that my Grandfather is a devout atheist, I wonder why he is prone to choosing a Unitarian church? Any thoughts?

The following is an excerpt from a Unitaran pamphlet.


"With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion -- that is, a religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves. We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed.

Our congregations are self-governing. Authority and responsibility are vested in the membership of the congregation. Each Unitarian Universalist congregation is involved in many kinds of programs. Worship is held regularly, the insights of the past and the present are shared with those who will create the future, service to the community is undertaken, and friendships are made. A visitor to a UU congregation will very likely find events and activities such as church school, day-care centers, lectures and forums, support groups, poetry festivals, family events, adult education classes and study groups."

Here's a link for further interest. http://www.uua.org/main.html

You will find people of all beliefs in a Unitarain church...including Atheist. Some atheists would not be comfy in UU church, but others are. It depends on how they feel.

I am a liberal Christian and love the UU church that I am attending. We sing hymns, and have a "sermon", and a special time of "talkbalk" after the service where everyone can discuss and debate the message that was just given. There is also time to fellowship before and after the service with snacks and coffee. The messages given are unique too. The bible is quoted from as well as other religious or philosphical books.

I love it, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.:wave:

When you find a good church you will feel at home there. :wave:

[joyfulgirl]

i voted "other", because protestant is not really a denomination (but other people mentioned that already).

i go to a charismatic :clap: Christian Reformed Church ...any other CRCers?

above all, though, i love Jesus! denomination doesn't matter.

Very interesting, Can ya tell me a bit more about your church? Being a refrorming penticostal has been some what lonly!

[CryptoKnight]

I'm a Methodist. I strictly believe the Word of God, while acknowledging that we do not yet fully understand the written word and that no written word in English is a perfect translation. Hence, I am willing and open to discuss 7 day creationism (or otherwise), sprinkling vs dunking, women leading in church, etc.

While I'm willing to discuss certain subjects that I feel are clearly "open", some things, of course, are not open for discussion (as Christian doctrine) such as whether Jesus really died, returned, and is risen.

I have been happy that my particular Methodist congregation has been open to people of varying thoughts on the "sideline issues" (yes, I called the method of baptism a "sideline issue") while allowing the Holy Spirit to work on them for the critical issues of Salvation and love for the Lord and acknowledgement of His grace.

[Kibeth]

Non-denominational Protestant, and proud.:cool:

[A Taffer]

I am Pentecostal - Assemblies of God (meaning they are Pentecostal) I like it ;)

[Nations4Christ]

Actually I belong to a Missionary Baptist Church, but I must say that we have a little pentescostal "flavor" in us. We believe in ALL of the Bible along with the gifts of the Spirit.



Baptiscostal....perhaps.

[Force]

Whaaaattt?

No Assemblies of God?

I counted about 6 in the above posts. I didn't realize we were so... outnumbered.

I'm Assemblies of God as well. Although doctrinal differences aside, we all have the keys to salvation right at least.

[Watch And Pray]

Denominations are good in that they demonstrate a measure of substantial agreement among their members.

As He was preparing for Crucifixion and Death, Jesus Christ prayed: "That they all may be ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE in us: THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME.

Oneness among Christians is an essential component of a credible witness to the world.

Joh 13:35 BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YE HAVE LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER.

Denominations define and demonstrate a commitment to a common system of doctrinal Truth. The world denies the existence of Truth and promotes tolerance in its place.

Our Triune God intended for the churches to have relationship between themselves and for there to be authoritative officers in the Church...

"And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the DECREES FOR TO KEEP, THAT WERE ORDAINED OF THE APOSTLES AND ELDERS WHO WERE AT JERUSALEM." - Acts 16:4

I am NOT promoting a single, earthly, organization with a Pope in Rome as its head. Jesus Christ is the Head of His Church. I AM promoting unity of the Spirit...

"Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:3-6)

"And when THEY had ORDAINED them ELDERS in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed." - Ac 14:23

"For this cause left I thee in Crete, that YOU should set in order the things that are wanting, and ORDAIN ELDERS in every city, AS I HAD APPOINTED thee" - Titus 1:5

The combined efforts of affiliated churches are often able to do a work that individual churches are unable to do. Most Christian hospitals are connected with a denomination rather than with a single, independent church. Organizational unity is a great support to missionary work of church planting and more.

In many cases, churches in a denomination may endure for several generations. This is less common with independent churches. Pastors and elders in denominational churches are commonly selected and ordained through a careful, deliberate process. There is safety in such a process. Pastors in independent churches are often self-appointed. In a denominational church, I think that there is less risk that a pastor will be over-bearing, lording it over the congregation, even tyrannical. The denomination often provides a helpful process for dealing with doctrinal and disciplinary disputes.

Denominational churches have a history of demonstrated effectiveness in proclaiming a certain message. They have a foundation in principle and practice and do not need to constantly “reinvent the wheel”. The contentions of the Church need to be with the world and not with each other. The Church needs to not become overly introspective and concerned with its own security but to reach out.

Words from the Apostle Paul, founder of many churches....

I have fought A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His Appearing. - 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Denominations are an expression of unity to make a certain sound.

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? - 1 Corinthians 14:8

[super slug]

Protestant - Anglican - Church of England - All Saints Church South Cave - our Home group - my Family - Me

Each one of the above is a denomination - Also as we all have an individual relationship with God through Christ, there are as many denominations as there are Christians.

Good post... I agree.

I have recently come across some discussion where some individuals were discussing denominations of Christianity and really "bashing" denominational involvement (not in this thread). I am an Episcopalian/Anglican and I love my church. I can respect that some people do not wish to belong to a certain denomination, however I also don't see anything wrong with belonging to a denomination and enjoying all that goes along with it. It is one way to put the mystery of faith in a common form that we humans can understand and enjoy.

For example, I love our church liturgy and music; however, I would never let that come before my relationship with Christ. If one's denominational requirements demands so much that one feels their relationship with Christ comes second, then perhaps one should reevaluate their involvement with that denomination. However, I would venture to say that it is not the involvement with the denomination that is interfering with faith - it is probably that particular church/parish or even the individual.

Otherwise, have fun at church and get involved as often as you can... denominational or not.

Peace.

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Bottom Line: I am a saved Christian. I've been saved for 28 years. Saved according to the Bible's scripture relating to salvation. I've been several denominations. Pentecostal, Baptist. I've also been non-denominational. I'm now a Christian Gnostic. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ as practiced by the Essenes as much as is practical in this day and age.

I believe that "Catholic" means the "churchood of the believer", and I'm a member of the churchood of the believer. I don't call myself "Catholic" though, because I don't agree with the Roman Catholic church's doctrines, or their history. And get this: I actually had a man tell me yesterday that I'm not a Christian because I'm not a Roman Catholic. (yes, he did make the destinction) And that any church outside of "the church" RCC, is heritical.

And that my friends is why I don't like to talk about denominations. It all to often turns into a "My church is better than your church" conversation. With "if you don't believe like I do, you're not a Christian" undertones. :rolleyes:

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I put pentecostal but I'm Assembly OF God... Is A/G part of the pentecostal denomination?Yes. (at least I have always considered it so...and I was brought up in the First Assembly of God church.) ;)

[Matrona]

I am Antiochian Orthodox! :holy:

That is, I am part of the worldwide communion of Eastern Orthodox churches, which include Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and Serbian Orthodox. There are many different Orthodox churches, each with its own patriarch, but we all have the same beliefs and practices. My church is headed by a patriarchate located in Damascus, Syria. The patriarch considered "first among equals" is called our Ecumenical Patriarch. He is located in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey).

[shinpai_ga_nai]

Well, I was baptized Lutheran, but I now go to a Methodist church. I don't really think too much about denominations. I don't really know what I consider myself denomination wise.

[TedMorgan3]

Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). I have belonged to Presbyterian and United Church of Christ congregations. I have links to the United Methodist and the Protestant Episcopal Church. I like the Mennonites and other Brethren. The Disciples have a strong ecumenical kindness that I treasure.


Hans Kung once wrote that the Orthodox is the Church of John, the Catholic Churches the Church of Peter, Protestants the Church of Paul, but the Anabaptists are the Church of Christ. I like that.

[HeatherJay]

Nazarene. :) I voted other.

Love, Heather

[bigsierra]

I grew up in an "Arminian" church with weslian teachings. Got saved while I was at college and went to my parents Nazarene church. From there I branched out to a form of Charismatic after a year or two. I took the next couple of years and just studied theology. I then moved to the Presbyterian (PCA) where I've been, for the past 8 years.

[Sunset_Sam]

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.
I'll agree with the good inspector and go one step further. Christian Denomination is an oxymoron. You're either a Christian or a member of a denomination. There isn't both. (1 Cor. 1: 10; John 17: 20-21) Most of the denom. listed aren't even in the bible. They are inventions of Men (Matt. 15: 8-9). Only the Lord's church is ever mentioned (Matt. 16: 18 "...My church"; Rom. 16: 16)

[Bulldog]

I'm still looking for a church, but I would say Presbyterian :) .

[educk]

I am part of the Ecclesia that Jesus founded more than 2000 years ago. I don't divide on doctrine or revelation. The Church is not something we can join, like an American Express club. It's something which you automatically become part of when you are reconciled to God.

[Immanuel]

It was hard for me to vote for the poll cause I'm non-denomonational. and there's no option for that. Well just go back to the bible. but God bless you that you want to worship God in your own different ways.

[WarriorOfGrace]

I don't want to insult or offend anyone, but what difference does it make what denomination you are. We are all one body and the sooner people realize that and quit trying to devide the church into the little groups that have the same prartices and ideas the better. I have nothing against having pride in who and what you are, but your pride in being Christianb should over shadow your pride of being a member of any one denomination. God doesnot want his church devided. "A kingdome devided aainst itself will fall."
