Hello, brothers and sisters!
First of all: My English is not very good, though hopefully understandable. I've learned the language in school for several years, but beeing Norwegian by birth and conviction, my native language is Norwegian, not English. Expect thus a portion of "Norwenglish".
Then: I'm just turned 16, boy/young man and at present living in Norway (surprice when being a Norwegian..) . Due to my parent's work agreement we'll leave Norway for som years this summer and I'l then attend a pre-university school using English as the sole language (help!)
Both of my parents are Christian, and Christ also became my Saviour between four and five years ago.
Defining our Assembly's place on the "Christianity map" is a bit difficult,but roughly some place between traditional Pentecoastal and Plymonth Breathren. In the local area we are often considered as Plymouth Breathen, but that's not correct. Sharing a lot, but also asking questions about a couple of their doctrines and some of their traditons/practice. (However, the Norwegian Christianity map ist't very intuitive understandable by foreigners, due to DNK, commonly called - and certainly also was until a few years ago - "Statskirken" or "the State Church" (and certainly still 90 % economical dependent on the Government!) . Remember that until 1845 no other churches than DNK was allowed in Norway, until 1892 no person with any other religious beliefs than Christians and (from 1842) Jews were allowed (neighter any burial not under the surveillanse of the local DNK pastor) , and up to about 1920 a DNK member was not allowed participate in a communion gathering outside DNK. Even today most Norwegians consider "the Church" = DNK, and just assume -without any questions - that "Christian" = "member of DNK".)
Stop my talking so far, but feel completely free to ask questions.
