    Protestants: Do denominations matter?

    Of course denominations matter. Every thoughtful Christians take positions on issues (like baptism, for example) that make it difficult to be in the same Christian denomination as others. This doesn't mean they cannot work together if they agree on core issues (like the Nicene Creed, for...
