How many different Church's are there in the world today?

Question

I really would like to know does anyone really know?

Answer 1

Too many to count. But in the end only one will matter.

The church can have, and must have, different locations, but we are not talking about the church building. We are talking about the church as a whole.
That church, of which we can read about in the New Testament was one in faith, doctrine, and practices; and it still can be; and infact it is, today. If it is not, then Christ's prayer was not answered when he prayed just before he would die on the cross as recorded in John 17:1- 11

Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him....................I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE.

I certainly believed that God answered Jesus' prayer. And so, therefore, I believe that his church IS ONE. Yes, it is not DIVIDED, it is not CONFUSED AND BICKERING OVER IRRELAVANT ISSUES. It is not adding to or taking away from the Word. It is not swayed by the desires of men or the trends of the times. It does not subscribe one way to salvation on this corner and another way to salvation on the next. IT IS ONE.

Grace be unto us.

Answer 2

there are over 30,000 different sects of christianity and more than 100,000 churchs world wide and thats not counting the home churchs and the university churchs and the bible camps and many other places that i cant think of at the moment

Answer 3

Every church is different - even the same religions have churches that do things different from each other. So, I'd say every church in the world is different.

Answer 4

WAY too many to count. Christianity splits because of stupid little differences, instead of being united. Am I right?

Answer 5

ONe Church!! Christ being the Head of the Church! How you worship is not as important as who you worship. Jesus spoke and said, " if they are not against me , they are for me"! It is not the Church that is confusing, but rather mortal man. Since the beginning of time , mankind did not want to submit to God, but rather they wanted to be gods to themselves.

Answer 6

too many
