what denomination am I?

[whateveristrue]

I am a Calvinist.

I do NOT believe in infant Baptism, but I am not a Baptist... because I don't believe immersion is necessary for Baptism.

Regarding tongues and spiritual gifts; I believe they exist, but I take a cautious stance. Definitely not a cessationist.

Well I am not big on denominations really but on being a part of the body of Christ. I am not of one certain denomination.. I am a Christ follower..

What you need to do is objectively examine which of your beliefs are biblical, and which are not. Please know that I am not making judgment of whether any of them are or are not, that is up to you. If you determine any of your beliefs aren't biblical, you have a choice to make, to bend your will to that of God, or to hold on to your belief. If you are going to bend your beliefs to God's will, then I would say that you belong in any number of Bible believing denominations such as the Evangelical Free Church, which I belong to. Go to their website(efca dot org, I can't post links yet, so the dot is actually . ) and read their statement of faith and I think you will see that we base our doctrine to biblical truths, not the other way around.

God bless!

I think the OP was Which Denomination Am I, not which denomination should I belong to (i.e. which is the Biblical denomination). We all have our opinions on that question, but, as I posted earlier, I think the OP was answered really well.

Yes, that is exactly what I asked. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion about what is Biblical or not. So if anyone has a problem with my beliefs or convictions, I really don't need to hear about it here.

And yes, the answer I got was pretty good. Thanks.

Sorry if I misunderstood the question. I didn't know this was a quiz... My question is what difference does it make and why should I care?

If you are a calvinist, then you are a member of a religion started by a mere man in the 16th century named John Calvin.

BTW, John Calvin was the first man in history to deny the salvific aspect of baptism, especially for children. What, was everyone else in christendom wrong for the first 2/3 of Christianity?

hmmm?

Apparently, you don't fully understand Reformed and Calvinism. There is Reformed Baptist Churches who are calvinist. Calvinism is a doctrine relating to salvation while baptism is different among calvinists.

I agree that Sovereign Grace Ministries may be the denomination that OP are looking for. Its Reformed, Calvinist, Charismatic and Baptism.

Thank you for reinforcing my factual beliefs about protestantism, in that one can never define it because it is never the same anywhere you go, it changes constantly, both in practice and doctrine, and is every man for himself. Each person is their own pope, prophet and authority, while claiming that scripture is.

Sad really, but true.

I know what you mean however, many of us Protestants agree with Martin Luther that Church Tradition often contradicts the Word of God. Tradition sometimes troubles me. No Church can give me fullness of my faith. Romans 8:9 says, "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." Spiritual Church is "invisible unity" which assumed to be imperfectly displayed, visibly: some denominations are less accepting of others, and the basic orthodoxy of some is questioned by most of the others. At the instant of our conversion, we become "eternal members" in the universal (catholic) church of Jesus Christ, based solely on His merit and grace.

Failure to submit to authority is not the same as making oneself one's own authority. It's part ignorance, and part sinful nature that Christ has to sanctify out of us. And it's a double standard to think that this is just a Protestant problem.

Unless you are some bishop and scholar par excellence of Catholic theology, you cannot claim to believe everything Rome says, because you don't even know everything it says. The best you can do is be willing to believe if shown what Rome teaches.

Likewise a Protestant does not know the entierity of scripture that he may believe all of it, but he has to be willing to change his view if shown what the scripture says. That is submission. If that makes every Protestant his own pope, every Catholic is his own pope.

About seventy percent of Catholics do not believe in Transubstatiation or real presence. (see Transubstantiation) I will posit that any explanation of this problem whereby Catholicism can be absolved of schism or insurrection against Rome will turn and destroy the bulk of your own arguments against Protestantism.

Christianity is not in the denominations but in Christ alone.

When I accepted Jesus as my personal savior, I spiritually became a christian, without any denomination.
BTW if you were to check history, the RCC has changed its beliefs many times down thru the years.
God bless you

Denominations separate; the word of God unites. That is the importance of IT IS WRITTEN being our standard and law.
God gave His word, His word is God. When He gives His Law for the Promised Land, He expects all to follow it. There is one law for all scripture says. The God of the whole earth shall He be called. If we refuse to follow those words, we do not have the true God. Jesus said to live by every word of God. When we follow Him in being obedient unto death, we have his righteousness. Only sins forgiven and forsaken is true repentance toward God. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Truth. Truth requires a word.

Deuteronomy 6:25 "And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD, our God, as He hath commanded us."

Jeremiah 15 and Ezekiel 14 go against most Christian theology.
Jeremiah 15:1 "Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of My sigtht, and let them go forth."

Ezekiel 14:12 - 21 God speaks about bringing judgments
14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

The goal is to be followers of Christ, living as He lived.
