Jehovah's Witness. First Assembly of God. Church of God. Some say Pentecostal, but I am not certain about that.
As a Unitarian-Universalist, I am considered a 'heretic'. Well, in the past, anyway. We are quite liberal in our thinking but have our own beliefs and traditions. Right now, some are trying to turn it into an atheist religion, which riles me up a bit. We have roots in Judaism, Universalism and the Protestant Reformation. We also have Calvinist roots. You can be from any other religion and can study it on the side. You can even say, attend mass with your sister or go to synagogue or a Buddhist meditation class. It is not blasphemy or heresy. That is what is great about our religion. However, noone should try to change it into something else. They can go join another church if they feel that way.

The most frightened ones. A great deal of the Bible is metaphor. Much of it is claimed by some Christians to have been made irrelavent by Christ's sacrifice, so while it may be literally intended, is obsolete.
Some take Genesis as Literal, some do not. The more fundamentalist do, while the more liberal recognize that it is not scientific fact.
Generally, it goes that the more fundamentalist are more likely to take the Bible completely literally.

Well, there are many that claim to. Until someone points out a line that goes against what they're preaching that is. Then they tell you that it really means something different (usually the opposite of what it says) and that only those "within whom the Holy Spirit resides" are capable of understanding what God meant.

I've always interpreted it that way, but recently, I don't really worry about how other people see it. Even if the stories of the bible are just meant to be examples rather than historic fact, it's still the word of God. The messages are just as important either way.

If they take the Bible literally, they should believe in a resurrection, NOT believe in hell and NOT believe in going to heaven.

the nutty ones.
Come on now, the bible is a book that was written by men, who knows what was left out. Everyone has an editor! You can't possibly take every word and think it really happened.
You don't have to believe in the bible to be a christian. It doesn't mean you don't believe in God or Jesus either.
I think people put way to much into a book. And usually these people don't live by the book they hold so dear anyway so I don't understand it at all.
And I am Catholic since apparently you have to state your religion to post on this one!

O_O I would hope all of them. Or they should rethink the statement that they are Christians.
