what does non denominational mean?

[I'mHis]

Yeah, as long as they are preaching Christ and following His word, that is what counts the most.

 

[Carico]

I'm non-denominational because I put Christ above the doctrine of any church. When a person becmes a member of a church he adheres to the church doctrine and the teachings of that church. I think there are some teachings in every church that are false because they contradict scripture at some point. I believe every word in the bible and follow Christ.

 

[Why?]

I put non-denominational because: I am a Christian. I attend an Evangelical Church, but I do not agree with one or two opinions of said church. I believe being a Christain comes first and foremost, not which denomination.

non·de·nom·i·na·tion·al ([font=verdana, sans-serif] P [/font]) Pronunciation Key
adj. Not restricted to or associated with a religious denomination.
I choose not to follow a denomination, since the bible says for the church not to be divided, and also that since Jesus setup Christianity with no denominations, that it should stay that way. Remember not be confused that Non-Denominational in itself is a denomination, its just something you would call yourself if someone asked what denomination you are in(just like saying Im not in a denomination).

 

[Ave Maria]

Well, I chose non-denominational as my icon because I really don't fit into any other group. I am my own person and my relationship with God is personal.

I call myself N.D. for several reasons.

1. I have looked at all denominations. None have the total truth. None.

2. I notice that when one introduces theirselves as a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic etc, if the other party belongs to an opposing denomination, communication is broken immediately by whatever the person feels about that denomination. This should not be. There should be no denominations, you are either about Christ or you are not. Denominations are just variations of distorted Gospel.
3. Yahshua, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. I prefer to be labeled Christian, than mans created theology labels if we must have a label.

4. Most Denominations do not realize the basic story line in the Bible, therefore I am at odds with them from the beginning, how can we align ourselves with organizations that veer from the truths. I cannot call myself by a label that has or is fundamentally wrong to begin with. This would not be correct.

5. Yes, I realize this is a little salty. We need salt, we have steamed the flavor out of the meat of the word. After 40 years of a bland milk diet, I am ready for meat.

Basically, Non-Denominational means that we dont choose to follow a denomination, just the purest form of Christianity given to us by Jesus and the Apostles that was followed in the very early days of the church. (Before Denominations started becoming popular). Also a denomination is a division in the church,



1 Corinthians 1:10
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
(Whole Chapter: 1 Corinthians 1 In context: 1 Corinthians 1:9-11)

As disagreements and arguements occured, people started new denominations to follow their own beliefs on what Christianity is.
