• 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.

Why don't you just start your own church?
In your profile you state you are:
Life View: Fundamentalist

Read what you believe and compare it to the Fundamentalist Statement of Faith listed at: http://www.christianforums.com/t7396152/

This is an old thread and so our answers are now only academic, but after all is said and done, there most likely is not a denomination that fits the OP's description perfectly. But he wants a perfect fit. That being the case, you probably are correct that starting his own is the only way to have what he wants, even considering the difficulties that this route poses.

I usually don’t even respond to someone that tries using the Sacred name of God but doesn’t know how to spell it.

More legalism. Tell use how to spell the unspoken, unseen and unfelt event.

Tell us the timeless and spaceless name that can't be spoken by humans.

if you can, you're not it.

Many thanks to all of you who have taken my question to consideration.
I believe it would be best to follow ptomwebster's advice to just worship Jesus' God the way i believe to be truth, even if his fundamentalism is as accurate as my spelling the Name

Thank you again
God bless

My second thought was Jehovah's Witnesses...which is what several others suggested. Therefore, I am wondering

1. Did you try some churches and find them unacceptable in the two years between the OP and now? and

2. What do you think of the suggested JWs, being the only answer other than "do your own" that we could come up with?

That's simply not true. My beliefs are very close to the Waldenses.

They were:

1. Episcopalian in church government
2. Practiced the ordination of women
3. Charismatic
4. Predestinarian
5. Baptistic

It sounds like your evangelical alright, I think you would be comfortable in most Baptist and Pentecostal churches. You might want to avoid some of the more liberal varieties out there. I don't know what your background is the the Churches of Christ have good Bible studies and the Baptists are good soul winners. Charismatic churches have exciting worship services but if your into Bible study their not real helpful. The Calvary Chapel churches always have a good message but that's about it.

It just depends but I warn you, if your looking for something solidly evangelical you have your work cut out for you. Instead of trying to find a denomination just ask God to lead you to a group of believers who have a heart for God, a burden for the lost and take discipleship seriously. If you can find a church like that you'll be fine.

Grace and peace,
Mark
