You are not a denomination and you should not desire to be a denomination. You are a follower of Jesus Christ.

So true! People are quick to label each other and classify each other. Why be so eager to put one yourself as well?

We have to go through the history, like the protestant reformation within the Catholic church, then I would say, at that time, I would have been a protestant, but what am I now?, am I a Baptist or a Methodist...

Could someone please help me out by asking me questions as to figure out what denomination I am, if any?

God Bless!

Well IF you're not a "Catholic" then you're a "Protestant", and if you're Saved by FAITH in the shed blood of Christ, then you're an "Evangelical", and if you don't know what I mean by that then you're a Non-Christian and consequently NO denomination at all.

Simple as that.

Christ did not set up denominations. You can either make the Bible your sole and supreme authority in all things pertaining to doctrine and practice, or you can opt for a smorgasbord of some Bible and many traditions of men. Know the Scriptures, examine the Statements of Faith, and see if the New Testament pattern os being followed or not.

It's better to be in a denomination with other Christians than to be a "denomination of one," making up your own beliefs and traditions and interpretations of Scripture.

Plenty of denominational Christians "make the Bible their sole and supreme authority in all things pertaining to doctrine and practice." And being part of a Christian community, at least they have some kind of check on getting things wrong.

I guess I'm looking for a denominational "tree" that shows and displays the over 41 thousand alone, different Christian denominations, branches over time...

That's a ridiculous number. There are not "41 thousand alone, different Christian denominations."

Honestly, the best thing you can do is to visit various local churches and find a church home. If you like the preaching and the people, there's your denomination. Any pastor should be willing to go over their history and what makes their beliefs and practices unique from other Christians

Good advice.
