denomination

Hi there, So I will kick this thread off: Name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like! It can be anything... (Jesus said, "by their fruits you will know them")

I'm a Buddhist, but I'm curiously drawn to reading the Bible and feel a certain comfort in reading and holding it. In Buddhism we do have different schools and styles, but for the most part, we respect each others denominations and see them all as valid. I find Christians seem to have much...

Do you think it is possible that one day a new branch/sect of religion could arise...or maybe a new denomination (to keep it in "Christianity"), and that it can be what we are doing right here in this forum...and be called "Forumism"? Why/why not? *Would the founders be called "Reforumers"?

...if you find it, let me know :) But seriously, after decades of searching to find the perfect denomination, here is what I have concluded... We should support the local church in a geographical area, and rely much less on whether or not a denomination fits what we think a church or...

Hello, I was brought up Catholic, however, I have not been practicing in awhile. I am actually taking a religion course in hopes of sparking something new. One of my assignments is to interview a religious Christian, and I thought there was no better place then this to get some ideas! I want to...

Hello, everyone. My name is Ashley Carly, and this is the first time I've participated in an online forum of any kind. Since my relationship with God is such an integral part of my life, I thought it would be best to start with a Christian forum. I've been a Christian for about 17 years now...

I'm not sure where this thread belongs, but this seemed like a good place to start. I've been a Baptist for my entire life. Well, perhaps until recently. I'm not certain. Hence, this post. I feel like I haven't budged, and my denomination has absolutely derailed. I've noticed (over the years)...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some questions I have pertaining to Anabaptism. I agree with most of what I've seen regarding the beliefs, but would I have to join a group like the Amish or Mennonites and live communally with them or can I remain where I am. And do I need to give up...

Protestant Confessions Protestant theologians and preachers from a wide spectrum of denominations have been quite candid in admitting that there is no Biblical authority for observing Sunday as a sabbath. Anglican/Episcopal Isaac Williams, Plain Sermons on the Catechism , vol. 1, pp.334, 336...

Hello everyone, This is something that has been weighing quite heavily on me of late. I was brought up in the Baptist Church, and have identified as such for my entire time here on Earth. Over the years, I have done modest amounts of research into the other denominations. This delving has been...

I am looking into Christianity, and in doing so I find it difficult to fathom how someone could be a Christian without being a member of a Church that can trace its faith, teachings, and authority back to the Apostles (like the Orthodox Church or Catholic Church). These Churches to me seem to...

I know this is long, but I really need advice. I will try to explain the best I can. I apologize if there is any confusion. My boyfriend and I are 22 years old and have been together for almost 2 years. He and his family are very strong Lutherans and I grew up in a relaxed Methodist environment...
