What denomination are you?

[Iosias]

I am just interested what different denominations post here. Are any of you Reformed? Do you post in the Reformed Forum? Why?

I am CofE, I post in SR.

I'm not sure I have a denomination - I belong to a charismatic church, does that count?

I also post in the charismatic section and others when the fancy takes me.

I was raised as Anglican but I no longer attend Church. I lurk around the Catholic and American forums sometimes, people get extremely animated there to say the least

I used to be CofE, but found that the church was becoming too liberal, where every road leads to God. I left and ended up as a Reformed Baptist.

Without starting a separate debate (PLEASE don't start a separate debate), I listened to a CofE bishop last night saying that gay marriage was a good thing because although the bible condemns such relationships it is a "book which is 2,000 - 4,500 years old" and times have moved on. The CofE seeks to conform itself to society, rather than trying to conform society to itself. That's why I left.

Sometimes Methodist, sometimes Anglican, sometimes New Frontiers! Depends how I feel.

 

[CiderCountry]

I think of myself as being curious about Christianity, with the whole denomination issue being up in the air for the time being.

 

[Leap]

I'm not sure that I have a denomination, being a social conservative but a biblical non-literalist.

I'm currently steering away from Evangelical / Charismatic churches, attended a couple of CofE's for a couple of weeks. I'll be seeking Messianic services again locally, hoping the nearest one isn't tooo far ! LOL.

 

[jasonsuresh]

As am I. I like the style of worship at charismatic churches, but why is it so often accompanied with horribly fundamentalist viewpoints? I want that style of worship, but with more balanced viewpoints!

 

[Genersis]

Probably Liberal Lutheran. If I were Christian.

I'm always comparing things, it's an obsession, so I looked into denominations once and their theology. I wasn't overly thorough mind you.

 

[Lotuspetal_uk]

I can't say I have a denomination too. I was baptised in a Baptist church and attended one for many years, went to a Pentecostal for a spell whilst flexing my spiritual gifts and am now visiting a CofE due to it being nearby.

 

[Kirkstaller]

Reformed with Baptist leanings.

 

[ConfuseddotCom]

Christian

Not a denomination, but as a label I agree.

I belong to a reformed denomination. Plus, it was actually I who came up with the name for the reformed forum here

I follow Jesus Christ's commandments as best as I can. I read the New Testament and Psalms and have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Denominations from what I gather just separate themselves and create their own traditions which are not biblical.

The Church of "Me, Myself and I" is not biblical either.

You will be glad to know brother that I am not of that neither. The church which I attend is Church of England. I also have home church.

What I am saying is that it's not about the denomination because despite what denomination a church claims to be, it still has it's own traditions and ideas and methods for teaching.

It is not spiritually healthy to belong to one denomination. We must seek the truth. The whole truth is not always taught by a single denomination.

So why are you attending a denominational church when it's not biblical?

What I am saying is that it's not about the denomination because despite what denomination a church claims to be, it still has it's own traditions and ideas and methods for teaching.

So? You clearly have your own idiosyncratic traditions and ideas and methods for teaching. Try getting by without them.

It is not spiritually healthy to belong to one denomination.

Really? Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary? Since the vast majority of Christians in the world belong to one denomination anyone can see that your claim is demonstrably false. Rather it is the church-hoppers who put their spiritual health at risk by not placing themselves under regular consistent preaching and biblical oversight and discipline of church leadership. They simply allow themselves to drift aimlessly seeking that which will please their own ears.

We must seek the truth. The whole truth is not always taught by a single denomination.

The whole truth about what exactly? Are you planning on making your way round every single denomination in the world to make sure your don't miss out on any of the 'whole truth'? How much of the 'whole truth' can you get by without?
