• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Help me figure out what denomination I am...?

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?

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.

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."
