Hey, I just wanted to tell yall about something kewl. You should visit other-denomination churches. It's a kewl experience! I go to a Charasmatic/Full Gospel church, and I visited a Southern Baptist church... big difference But, I noticed things about the way they knew Scripture better than most people at my church, just off the top of their head, and stuff like that. Just stuff that's kewl to see God working in other people's lives!
This is tricky sometimes... You need to visit churches that don't preach different ideas about salvation, heaven/hell, (major stuff like that) if you don't believe it. Minor doctrinal issues aren't to worry about, these, unfortunately are the reason there is a denominational difference between you. But, if they believe the same as you on major parts of Christianity (basically, if you would call them your brother in Christ), then we really do need to start coming together and fellowshipping as a BODY OF CHRIST, not just the "Pentacostal body of Christ", or the "Baptist body of Christ".
Disclaimer: If you are getting bashed about little doctrinal issues, like the tribulation coming before Jesus comes... You need to not do that. That is not fellowship, that's religious debate class. If you want to witness to another group of people SHOW GOD'S LOVE, not His wrath!
