What denomination (if any) do I align with?

I believe you are between Reformed and Lutheran.

My Christian experiences (40 some years) coming into Lutheran from Reformed and Anabaptist and Baptist as well other denominations and non-denominational. Most Christian denominations and movements share common beliefs in the major aspects of the Christian faith, while differing in many secondary doctrines.

God gave us conscience. If the truth of God's Word opposes the world's wisdom on a certain issue, you must align yourself with God's Word.

Faith is from God, not from man. Man can do nothing to earn or receive it. Martin Luther

If we take our doctrines into our hearts where they belong, they can cause upheavals of emotion and sleepless nights. This is far better than toying with academic ideas that never touch life. John Piper

Plant a church, then everyone sees it as a church and as they come to see it as their church they love it as it is and don't try and conform it to their image of church.

I wouldn't mind starting a Bible study group one evening a week some place neutral just to get together with a few people, have fun and talk about things like we do here only in person. It would make my family mad at me though for doing it outside the "family" church. Maybe I should just do it anyway, if I could get up the heart to without my sweet grandmother saying it was breaking hers.
