What was your result? Catholic? Orthodox? Episcopalian? I am curious.It got me pretty much right.
Question:The Orthodox Church was founded in Jerusalem circa 33 AD and has maintained and preserved the faith delivered to the saints for its entire history.
When Paul refers to the "churches of Christ" in Romans 16:16, he is not talking about modern day Campbellism, but the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18,24). Elsewhere in Scripture, Paul refers to the church as the "church of God." (1 Corinthians 1:2; 10:32; 11:22; 15:9; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:3).The epistles were written to the churches of Christ. You do err from the truth my friend.
Why do you choose a denomination than to be general person in loving every community of believers?. Choosing a denomination is always like choosing old convenant laws. You are free and so live as free person.I was gonna become Catholic but I'm not sure. Certainly some of these things are required at the Church itself, (confession, real presence of Christ in Communion, and Trinitarian baptism) what denomination am I do you think?
Here's what I believe for certain (besides stuff all Christians believe):
That we are saved by faith but that true faith involves an attempt to be holy.
That Christ instituted one Church, of spme manner that is also Holy, Catholic (universal), and Apostolic.
There are some sort of oral traditions (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
Baptism must be done in the name of the Father, and The Son, and the Holy Spirit. For the forgiveness of sins.
Christ is present in the Eucharist/communion.
Marriage is between one man and one woman.
Abortion is wrong.
We are to confess our sins to a pastor
That scripture is not to be interpreted by ourselves.
Women can't be pastors or priests. Pastors or priests are allowed to marry.
People still speak in tongues. Though it is not required, encouraged, and does not have authority over the Church
God alone is authority for faith.
Things I'm pretty sure of:
The apocrypha are scripture.
We are to pray to God alone.
Mary is not sinless
Mary did not remain a virgin
Mary is in heaven
Apostolic Succession
Worship is on Sunday
Baptism is once in a lifetime
Sounds like it should be that way but many communities of believers will consider him a nominal Christian at best and, for lack of a better word, unclean. Reminds one of how the Jews felt about the Samaritans.Why do you choose a denomination than to be general person in loving every community of believers?.

Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against the Church.
The reference was to the PEOPLE, the "household of faith," not to some particular religious organization.Paul called the Church the Foundation and Pillar of Truth.
But it is necessary to understand what it is before we "believe" in it.I will rather believe them than you.
Strip away all the man made doctrines then you will find true Christianity which is simply stated by Christ Himself:I was gonna become Catholic but I'm not sure. Certainly some of these things are required at the Church itself, (confession, real presence of Christ in Communion, and Trinitarian baptism) what denomination am I do you think?

I view myself on a journey towards Christian living. Also, I think I'm born again
Back in the early 80's, God called me into the Catholic Church. I was really leery because I was raised in the Baptist before leaving and becoming Evangelical but God called and I obeyed.I was gonna become Catholic but I'm not sure. Certainly some of these things are required at the Church itself, (confession, real presence of Christ in Communion, and Trinitarian baptism) what denomination am I do you think?

That's where the problem exists, there's only one church, but with diff locations but autonomous..head of all being christEvery church addressed in the new testament still exists, and, with the exception of the Church at Rome, they are under the leadership of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
