The chances of you changing your denom. or perspective on Christianity

[Godlovesmetwo]

In your lifetime.
For me. Highly unlikely. Probably to do with my age being 60 next year. I'm done changing. That's it. I've found the truth. Praise the Lord ! I'm a cat for life!! Even though I love dogs.

Although I currently attend a church that follows Arminian(?)/Wesleyan theology and have made it my home church, the chances of me changing from a Reformed (Protestant and Calvinistic) perspective to another theological perspective within the umbrella of Christianity is highly unlikely.

From a theological standpoint, I adhere to the theological perspective of the Canadian Reformed Churches

I absolutely love the Heidelberg Catechism - With its comfort motif and its warm, personal style, the Catechism soon won the love of the people of God

Who knows? Maybe maybe. Never say never.

For believers, the permanently indwelling God the Holy Spirit should guide the "changing" of assemblies, if any.

Each "church" should have a WRITTEN doctrinal statement. For example:

Doctrinal Statement | Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS)

Pretty high tbh. I've been changing mine steadily for the past couple years.

I don't follow a certain denomination nor will ever change my perspective on Christianity which is to try to live a life according to what Jesus taught us.

I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit led me to permanently leave the Korean churches here in the United States (mostly Korean Presbyterian churches).

The great majority of the churches that I grew up in are NOT focused on the grace of God and the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The great majority of the churches that I grew up strongly emphasize/strongly focus on the individual church-goer's effort and performance (performanced-based religion).

Performance-based religion = legalism

I might tweak a few things as my knowledge and faith grows. I'm aiming to feel more relaxed and trusting about the whole process. Not fearful and dogmatic.

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

Keep the central tenets but never stop growing and learning.

 

[timewerx]

I don't belong to any denomination.

My beliefs are mostly "Johannine". Main scriptures of learning are Johannine books (John, 1,2,3 John).

Also a degree of flexibility around those teachings and very little degree in humanism.

Which means my beliefs can change slightly over time as I come to discover more of the Truth.

Because I am non-denom, all denoms are mine in Christ Jesus. If something about the denom reflects Him then He is glorified and it is ours.
My viewpoint on Christ Jesus? TBH, because it is a viewpoint of faith, and that He seems to like keeping it this way, and because I am weak and faithless without Him; the chances of me changing my viewpoint are highly likely unless He continues to hold me in His hand.
I am completely at His mercy and grace.

I've gone from far left, to far right, and back to far left from experience.
But there is many fold more diversity in any Sunday school class than there is
between denominations. Denominations have standards. Common people are way out there.

My perspective and paradigms are shifting almost constantly. I've finally realized that neither God nor I fit neatly into any single theological box.

 

[HighCherub]

Here's something interesting with myself and my relationship with Christianity:

My original birth certificate marks me as 'Presbyterian'- I'm the last generation to have that on their BC, they stopped putting religious origin at some point.
(For reference, I''m 29 years old; born in 88)

I don't know if I was baptized as an infant or not- I never saw much of the Presbyterian side of my family, and none at all once I was about 11 years of age.

Nonetheless, I was baptized in a Baptist church about 4 years ago- a church of a friend whose family attended, and now I happen to live near the church the other side of my family attends.
A Baptist church.

Take into account that I am also Calvinistic in my theology without regard to any of those things, and you'll see that I couldn't be convinced of anything contrary- I was predestined to Reformed Christianity

 

[Phil 1:21]

Had you asked me that question when I was a kid my answer would have been a resounding no. But now I reflect on where I was at that time and where God has led me today, and I say I do not know. Only God knows where He will continue to lead me. It's not my job to plan the trip, but to ride along.
