Are you pro or anti denominationalism or sects?

That is a broad question, but personally I do not believe in denominations. The Bible says in PHI.2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. I believe that denominations do not promote the esteeming of others to yourself, rather they get hung up on the points and doctrines in which they differ. I believe that we as Christians should follow not the teachings of a particular church or denomination, but instead follow the teachings that are in the Bible.

For mainstream Catholics and Protestants, there are minor disagreements on minor points of doctrine. All of the important stuff, like Jesus is the Messiah, totally agreed upon.\n\nSome Catholics and Protestants on the fringes, blow our few disagreements into huge issues and cause much trouble.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Evangelical is not a domination but something that a group of christian call them self. Some believe in speaking in tongues, like I do. Other believe that was just for the first century church.

I think it's great to go to several churches. It's also great to find one that you consider your home church. You can do this without turning your back on other denominations. The church needs more people like you who are not only willing, but excited to cross the denominational lines. Afterall, unity is so important!

As a Christian, I have to say the Christian Church.  The denomination doesn't really matter.  The differences are not of the essentials of the Christian faith level.  They are minor differences so Baptists, Presbytarians, Lutherans, Pentacostals, etc. are all part of the true Church of Jesus Christ.  I might add that Mormons, though they like to claim to be Christians, are not Christians.

The Seventh Day Adventists are members of the sectarian movement.  It is a side effect of being sectarian of being especially anti-Catholic.  They hold a number of myths to be true that have no basis in historical fact.  They are anit-Catholic because they inherited the idea and are more extreme because they are more extreme than their predecessor belief group.\n\nIt is important to understand that they believe themselves to be the correct group of Christians.  All others are wrong and Catholics especially as they see Catholicism as the source of all other Protestant errors.

Presbyterians believe that whether you're going to heaven or hell is already decided. Methodists change their minds about things every couple of years.

I'm a convert - I am born to a buddhist family but I chose Jesus as my personal saviour six years ago. I don't fall into a denomination - so I guess I am non-denominational - but I am Born Again just as it is said in John 3:3. I think it is right because, this is how Jesus says is the way in the Bible and what He says goes.

Well its simple really... every denomination is one mans opinion of something he doesnt agree with that the denomination before him thinks. I am a Christian but not part of any denomination. I also dont sware I know the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth either. As long as I live I will continue to learn. Most religious leaders, Pastors and Priests wont admit they could be wrong about something. Thats a HUMAN trait, it has nothing to do with the Bible and it's teachings.

Well, I do not declare myself to be affiliated with one party or another.  I don't vote for people just because they are from a certain party.  I vote based on who I think would do the best job, and whose morals I agree with, not based on their party affiliation.  So if an Anti-Christ from ANY party were to run for President (and I knew that person was an Anti-Christ), I probably would not vote for them... unless the alternative were much worse.\n\nI'd rather vote for an honest Anti-Christ, then a dishonest person who claimed to be a Christian.  It would really depend on their morals.

There are multitudinous denominations, many of which have long since run their course and died out. After all, how many Puritains do you know today?\n\nGiven the inclinations of human nature, it is theoretically possible to posit an argument that there are as many "denominations" of Christianity as there are Christians. Yes, belief in the divinity of Christ is the central premise of all strains of Christianity, but beyond this, beliefs and values can differ widely. Look at the difference between Baptists and Congregationalists, for example. Within your own church, no doubt you know people who have very different personal values from your own: does that somehow invalidate their belief in Christ?\n\nGiven that the scriptures talk of our personal relationship with Christ, I think it is fair to say that the church is less a building or organization than a structure of faith within our hearts and spirits. Thus, as many Christians as there are, that is as many denominations as you might find.\n\nPeace!

It depends on the attitude of the person I'm speaking to.  As long as they're not trying to convert me I'm open minded but as soon as someone tries to hand me a copy of watchtower or asks me to consider taking jesus into my heart after waking me up at 8am I get rather defensive.

If you are just looking for some straight facts about different denominations and what they believe there is a great book called "Handbook Of Denominations" by Mead. It will give you lots of great info.

Hippocracy? . . . I can't tell if you're anti-hippopotamuses or anti-the great healer Hypocrates. Please specify.

Yes, I am a Christian. I go to 2 Churches. Bethany Baptist and Saints Memorial. I go because I know that God Loves me and I know what he went through for me. He died on the Cross. He got nails in his arms and legs and wore thorns on his head. He even got whipped! So that is why I go. And if you're a Christian, you wouldn't have to ask why!

Here is a website that has some pretty detailed info on different denominations. \nhttp://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/charts/denominations_practices.htm\nI thought it was pretty accurate from what (little) I know of different denominations. \n\nHope that helps!

It sounds like you are "anti" Christian.
