I'm posting this in the singles forum because I am single right now but this issue has been on my mind a lot lately. How does everyone feel about inter denominational relationships? I know I am completely opposed to inter-faith relationships. If you are both Christians you don't then you are both saved but you don't agree on doctrine and that might cause problems especially if you end up getting married having kids. However I don't think you always necessarily find someone in your own denomination.
To me this is alot like crossing bloodtypes. Some are technically compatible with just about any other- like Baptist and Methodist or Nondenomitional and a Presbyterian...
others the values can be very much incompatible or "unequally yolked" as my mom calls it, like Jewish and Baptist or Catholic and Baptist...
Some are kind of in between ... they mix with some but not others.
Like Jewish and pentecostal might not work out but pentecostal could go with methodist, if they were okay with the methodist being more traditional in worship and the methodist was ok with the pentecostal being expressive and vocal.
This is technicality of course.
What it comes down to is how accepting and tolerant of other's views and choices a person is. Couples that mix 2 different ends of the spectrum work out sometimes. couples that mix 2 slightly differing denominations like methodist and baptist fail sometimes because the two people nitpick over stuff like "when you say the Lord's prayer It's "forgive us our debts""... "no its forgive us our trespasses!""
Biblically, I know you are supposed to be equals in believing in God as the creator, Christ who saved us from our sins and the Holy spirit. I think men should lead their wives and their churches and wives should support them. but other then that, To me, everything else.. like whether to sing classic hymns vs. have a praise band, or whether to have people share a cup for communion vs. pass a tray of little samples... is all "toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe"
