who is l. ray smith from bible truths.com?what denomination is he?

Answer 1

I had forgotten about that site! Lots of interesting viewpoints on that site. I went back to it to see if I could find his denomination, and here is what he said:
TO WHICH CHURCH DO I BELONG?

When asked, "Ray, which church do you attend, what denomination do you belong to?" I always give them the same answer as I will now give you. I tell them that I am not a member of, neither do I attend any institutionalized church of men and that includes all the Churches of Christendom.

I am a member of: "The Body of Christ—The Church of the Living God."

Yet if I were invited to any church to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I would gladly go! I do not, however, hold my breath waiting for such invitations. How I would love to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ right behind these televangelists after they have delivered their Sunday message.

The Church is an assembly of "called out" people. Within the Church there are then, the ‘called’ and the ‘chosen’—the ‘invited’ and the ‘selected.’ Remember my analogy of a screen test—many are called to try out, but only the few are chosen to actually perform.

The giant difference between the physically called of God and the spiritually Chosen of God is that the first are immature babes, and the second are spiritually mature sons—having the mind of Christ. The physical Church knows Christ only "after the flesh." The carnal believe that Jesus Christ was "crucified" for them—which is true. But the mature know by experience that, "I am crucified WITH Christ." The carnal-minded Christians "will be saved," but they will not be in the first resurrection, nor will they reign with Jesus Christ as the manifest sons and daughters of God in the Kingdom of God throughout the oncoming ages.

Answer 3

We are trying to correct eachother. But you make a good point: "To those Christians who seem determined to attack other Christians because what they're doing is "unbiblical", doesn't that strike you as a rather idiotic charge, because if they weren't following the Bible they wouldn't be called Christians, would they?" Here in America, its almost like a fad to be called a Christian-thought it may not seem like it to others. For example, I was talking to my friend at work. She says she is Christian. "Oh, what church do you go to?" I don't go to church. "What denomination are you?" I'm not sure. "Were you baptized?" Are you kidding me, no way! If someone is going to call themselves a Christian, be prepared to be corrected as a Christian. And also, there are different denominations because people like to cherry pick the Bible when they should be following ALL of the Bible.

Seems like a controversial site that has a lot of information that is NOT Biblical, but subject to one man's interpretation. A better site for answering your Biblical questions is the one listed below.
