The "Church" is really the Born-Again believers in Jesus Christ who died on the Cross and was raised from the dead by the Father above.  Down thru the years, that name "Church" was transferred to a building, of which it is not.  No matter where you are on Earth, no matter what building you are in, if you (a spirit), have been recreated by asking Jesus to come into your heart and save you, then you are part of the "Church", and the Holy Spirit now lives in you, cause God don't live in buildings or boxes anymore, he lives iside of people (the Temple of God).

Catholicism is certainly a populous denomination, but your desire to find a church that suits God rather than one that suits yourself is the best starting point. \nBetween His resurrection and ascension, Jesus taught his apostles how churches should be organised. The events in the Acts of the Apostles and the New Testament letters describe the pattern of churches.\nMost denominations have websites that outline their basic doctrines, and by comparing these with the scriptures, you should be able to eliminate some and shortlist others.\nBy visiting some, you can check out scriptures like John 13 34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."\nMy personal recommendation would be the churches of God in the fellowship of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Their website shows their basic doctrines along with the scripture references to validate them, plus location and contact details.

Salvation and church are almost mutually exclusive.  Good, church going folk are almost never true Christians.

Being Roman Catholic states that one follows the teaching of the Holy Father in Rome.  Other wise one would be Orthodox Catholic and follow the teaching of the head of the Eastern Catholic Church.\n\nCatholic is a generic term and could be either one.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus and believe he died as a ransom sacrifice for your sins then you are a Christian. Catholics profess to be Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses profess to be Christians. Davidians I do not know.

not all Christians are Catholic.  some are Baptist, Pentecost, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, undecided, New Age, etc.  You get the idea.  All Catholics should be Christian.  \n\nThat's like the statement, all salmon are fish, but not all fish are salmon.  All Catholics should be Christian, but not all Christians are Catholic.\n\nI'm Catholic and Christian.

One of the main differences is that Lutherans believe in infant baptism and Baptists believe in waiting until the child is older. Also, the Baptists in the church across from my house have the women wear skirts all the time. They also strongly suggest tithing (giving ten percent of your income to the church) and abstain from dancing and drinking alcohol.

because baptizism is an outward act of an inward choice, before you are baptized you must repent of your sins and turn to God. Baptizism represents the death and resurection of Jesus Christ and that we are joining Him in that death and resurection, and that we are no longer sinners under the old law but new creations in Christ, saved from death and hell and going to heaven.

oh the one thing that you can be sure of is the Bible!\n\nif ur a believer of Christ, you are called a Christian.. But the concept of Religion enters when a person decides for his/her religious practices...\n\nChrist did not established religion. he didnt indicate if His church is catholic/baptist etc.\n\nand i can say that Roman Catholic Church is not the true Church...  it is because its doctrines are corrupted...\nchristianity is for real but not until Constantine made Christianity as a state religion for the byzantine empire...\n\nas you know, romans have different gods. They are pagan! when Christianity came, people dont know the nature of Christianity, its doctrines etc. They just know that Christ was the Messiah.... so that means people did not leave their sinful nature (idolatry, worshipping gods). So that is why we have Catholic Church, full of idol worship..\n\nÜ The Bible, the only thing that has not been changed even before Creation, will set you free... Coz the truth will set you free. God bless you!

Catholics are Christians through and through--in the very fullest sense.  \n\nPeople like to give (and make up) all kinds of reasons why Catholics are not Christians, but the one thing that truly sets Catholics apart most is the Eucharist.  Together with members of the Orthodox Church (the Catholic Church's "Sister" Church), Catholics are the only people who receive the Real Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Lord Jesus.  You don't get any more Christian than that!\n\nReceiving the Eucharist literally transforms us spiritually into true sons and daughters of God.  That was the entire purpose of Jesus's Incarnation--He died so that we could be true children of God again.\n\nThat said, in order to receive the Eucharist, we must be in a state of grace (proper disposition, no mortal sins on our souls).  Unlike many Protestants, who think their salvation is guaranteed just by saying they believe in Jesus (regardless of their sins), Catholics care a great deal about making ourselves as worthy as possible, and we often go to great lengths.  This is because we know we are truly, completely, receiving Lord Jesus into ourselves through the Eucharist.  You wouldn't want to invite a guest into a messy house--we *definitely* don't want to do that to Lord Jesus!\n\nIt's no surprise that lots of Christians don't understand Catholicism--there is so much to learn, and not everyone likes to learn.  But no argument against Catholicism can stand up to Scripture or any other element of Sacred Tradition.  After all, the Bible is a Catholic Book (despite some Protestants thinking that the King James Version just fell out of the sky one day).  Protestants claim that Catholic Sacred Tradition "adds" to the Bible, but the fact is that the Bible IS Catholic Sacred Tradition.  \n\nFinally, I'd like to address Catholics' veneration of Mary--which Protestants claim to mean that we worship Mary (and therefore, we are not Christians).  Veneration does not mean worship--it means honor.  As a good Jewish man, Jesus honored His parents (both Mary and St. Joseph).  Before His death, Jesus told St. John to regard Mary as his mother--which meant that Jesus was asking St. John to honor her as well.  So... who are we not to honor her?  Are we above Jesus and St. John?  Venerating Mary is one more way in which Catholics show obedience to Lord Jesus.  It should also be noted that at least some of the earliest Protestants (such as Luther) also venerated Mary and believed in her perpetual virginity.

Christianity: Christians believe in Jesus Christ, son of God. So they have, besides the Old Testament (which is also a holy book for jews) also the New Testament.\n\nChristians, in their history, have divided themselves for several reasons (some theological, others also more "political").\n\nNowadays Christians, which all believe in the same things, are divided in groups:\n\nCatholic Christians: they recognize the Pope in Rome to be the supreme guide and the descendant (in a metaforical sense) of Pietro (the first Pope and disciple of Jesus).\nThis religion is mainly practiced in Western Europe and parts of Africa.\nOrthodox Christians: They have split from Catholics. They do not have one official supreme guide. Their priests are called Pope.\nThis religion, originated in Bisantium (Istanbul), is practiced mainly in Eastern Europe and Greece (Russia, Ukraine)\nProtestants (or reformed) Christians: these split much later then Orthodox from the Catholic religion and, to some extent, show the more closeness to Catholicism. A great protestant reformer was Matin Luther who fought agains the Catholic hierarcy. The main differences between protestants and Catholics are:\n- the relationship with God is much more personal and individual\n- the religious hierarchy (the "priest") does not exist\n\nProtestants and Orthodox do not consider the Pope as being the supreme guide of the curch.\n\nProtestants have divided in many different groups some of which, in fear of furious persecution, fled to other countries (among which the USA) to practice their beliefs freely.\n\nTheologically speaking all Christian religions have the same "core" beliefs, but express themselves and are organized differently (very differently in some cases).\n\nThere are many theological differences, but I believe this is irrelevant to the play at school...\n\nBut there is nothing these religions "do against each other" they all come from the same source: the teachings of Jesus the Nazaren and the Vangels. They divided and separated eachother during the two millennia of Christiandom's history.

Many Christians DO NOT acknowledge that Catholicism is a division of Christianity but in fact it is. There once was a time when Catholics practiced the oneness of God.... later adding the trinity to its doctrine created a separation in the church. Out of that division came Protestant, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist,  Pentecostal, Apostolic, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormon etc...All are Christian nonetheless. \n\nTo say, "I'm Christian" is a unbiased, unprejudiced title; or general and safe to say. \n\nHowever, to say, "I am Catholic" is like saying United Kingdom is NOT a part of Europe because they want to be different from the rest of Europe, and they think they are better than everybody else. They look like the oddball in the group (out-casted). \n\nChristianity has dissected into so many entities over the past  centuries, one would have to be a true religious scholar in order to define all the various types of Christianity.

The Church of England is Anglican.\n\nIn todays society there are churches called Anglo-Catholic or Anglican Catholic and various versions that are part of the Independent Catholic Movement.  They are churches that are not true to Rome and form in simular manners.

Catholics baptize babies.  Christening is a ceremony used in some other faiths to recognize the parents' committment to raising the child in faith.  Preparation for Catholic baptism includes a course at the local parish. During the course, they will outline all of the procedures.

Catholics are Christians, just like poodles are dogs.\n\nI'm not trying to compare Catholics and poodles, it's just that Catholics are a group that are part of a larger group.
