And then liberals undo all the benefit of that study by claiming "when God said that [insert any commandment that contradicts their opinions] He really didn't mean it, OR the Bible is imperfect [especially in the sections that contradict their opinions] or it was only applicable to the culture of the day [or it still applies to us today if it is a NICE commandment that makes us feel good]....."
thanks I needed that!...Yes if I would choose the closest to biblically correct, Full Gospel is the one!.....you can have many doctrinal errors, but if you don't have the power of the Holy Spirit working in the ministry, you really are like a baby Christian, just fed on milk, always needing milkI like the ones that are refered to as FULL GOSPEL or
some would say pentecostal.
You did say doctrinally....so keep that in mind and don't post up all the
things that you can find wrong within "full gopsel" but remember I am
talking about the doctrine and not the abuses.
The term Full Gospel is often used as a synonym for Pentecostalism,
a Protestant movement originating in the 19th century.
Early Pentecostals saw their teachings on baptism with the Holy Spirit,
spiritual gifts, and divine healing as a return to the doctrines and power
of the Apostolic Age. Because of this many early Pentecostals called
their movement the Apostolic Faith or the Full Gospel.
But sadly within pentecostal there can be all manner of beliefs that
can become even more extreme than many traditionalist withinn
pentecostalim would care for.
In a nut shell to me, full gospel means that we look at the book
of acts along with the letters of 1st and 2nd Corinthians and other epistles
and we see that the early church saw and operated in the gifts of the Spirit and
they saw God's supernatural hand in the lives of the believers and unbelievers
as a sign and confirmation of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
So which is a more complete view of the teaching of Christ?
Those denominations who do not promote, teach or look for
the church of today to ressemble the early church along with
all the signs, wonders and gifts of the Holy Spirit or.......
Those that believe in the "full gospel" along with all
the giftings and power Christ gave to His church to be a witness
to all the earth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He has
given supernatural giftings to His church to backup His claims.

well does satan cast out satan, certianly the scripture shows that not everyone who cast out demons in Jesus 's name will enter the kingdom of heaven, (see Mathew 7:21-23) but we also see what happens when an unbeliever try's to cast out demons as the son's of sceva did.(see Acts 19:14-16) the gifts and call of God are irrevocable,(see Romans 11:29) this means you could receive a gift from the Holy Spirit and then use it to gain wealth and fame, not really following Jesus at all. these are the false teachers, false prophets, who do signs and wonders to lead the people of God astray.........how do you know them? "you will know them by their fruits" Mathew 7:20If it really is the Holy Spirit. The problem is that without a good understanding of Scriptural standards, we have no way to judge that.
Wow.....well does satan cast out satan, certianly the scripture shows that not everyone who cast out demons in Jesus 's name will enter the kingdom of heaven, (see Mathew 7:21-23) but we also see what happens when an unbeliever try's to cast out demons as the son's of sceva did.(see Acts 19:14-16) the gifts and call of God are irrevocable,(see Romans 11:29) this means you could receive a gift from the Holy Spirit and then use it to gain wealth and fame, not really following Jesus at all. these are the false teachers, false prophets, who do signs and wonders to lead the people of God astray.........how do you know them?

So why is it that 90% of the Christians I have talked to or met, all of which claim to be devout followers of Jesus and the Bible, have absolutely terrible fruit?

Baptists - Again, there are differences even within a denomination. But with the kind of Baptist church I've been in, I've found them to be the most ideal when it comes to their theology. I don't agree with them on everything, but I'd say I do agree with maybe 95% of what they teach. Baptism is in their name, but they consider it an act of faith, not a prerequisite for salvation. Sometimes, they can be legalistic, but they're balanced out with the more tolerable types. They're not typically very lively in their worship, though. They'll sing, but it's hard to even keep them clapping to a song for more than a few seconds.

I've never seen a Calvinistic Non denomination Church. All the ones I've seen teaches armininaism so I claim the non-denominational to be denominational. Like Christian Church using the basic common name,"Christian" They call it "Christian church". There are churches that teach arminianism and some churches that teaches Calvinism and the "Christian Churches" teaches arminianism and never Calvinism. So much for church that uses certain names to identify there denomination so what your back what inside them. Same happens in Penticostal churches, they never teach that it is God that chooses certain people only, called the Elects. The Catholics believe all protestant church are not THE Churchto the OP - I'm non-denominational.
You won't find them in the bible. Just be a christian. Churchs can be great, big clubs that you belong to or you don't. So it's safer to just give your allegience to God and attend where he asks you to or doesn't. We follow jesus as christians, not each other.
As for biblically believing churchs? I honestly think your safest bet is to get a non-denominational bible course and do it at your own speed. Get a good one, and get to know the bible well. Because without that knowledge, you can be prey to all kinds of mis-conceptions and twisted scriptural understanding. Even in churchs that read the bible a lot.
Dear Fuji, Let me tell you my story. I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist faith as I got older I turned away from the church and went out into the world for about 20 years, by the time I was 33 I felt the Lord calling me back to him. One night I knelt down and prayed and told God I would come back after explicit and careful study of his word and our faiths so as to choose which was the most Biblical. I even went as far as to tell him I would be a part of any church or denomination but I would NOT!! be a S.D.A. my thinking was we were weird in what we believed and taught, how could we be more biblically accurate than all the other church's and have more of the truth than others? After 10 years of Biblical research and study, Historical study behind what S.D.A. taught in Bible prophecy the Lord gave me a great deal of knowledge in this area and I realized one thing never dictate to the Lord what you will or won't be. I ended up being re-baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist Faith. Here's why, Every modern day Church still adhere's to most of the traditionally based doctrines of the Catholic Church, some examples are Sunday is the new Sabbath. The eternal hell doctrine, Mary is equal to the trinity and so forth. While almost all protestant church's agree on salvation by grace through faith they squabble over everything in between, however after 10 years I learned that in my humble opinion The S.D.A. have no ties what so ever to Catholicism this includes Sunday worship over the ordained Sabbath spoken of in the scriptures. for more info I recommend Amazingfacts.orgWhich Denomination would you guys say is the most biblical? ie. the one following the word of God the most accurately?
Someone told me that Baptists follow the word of God the most accurately, though the Catholics have the biggest following.
Which Denomination did you choose and do you believe it follows the word of God the most accurately?
Kind of loaded question because most denominations would say theirs is the most biblical. Which then leads to debates about many things. In my case I belong to a non-denominational church. There is no one set of views.
I always wonder at comments like those since they seem to say that this kind of congregation avoids taking any of the stands or engaging in many of the practices which the Bible describes as characteristic of the first Christians.We just go by the bible itself. We don't talk about which version of the bible is correct. We don't tell people how to act..etc.
