Baptist Methodists Jehovah's witness and Mormons ,what are the differences can i have a brief summary?

Answer 1

Baptist- is a term describing a tradition within Christianity and may also refer to individuals belonging to a Baptist church or a Baptist denomination. The tradition takes its name from the conviction that followers of Jesus Christ should be immersed in water as a visible and public display of their faith. Baptists do not practice infant baptism.


Methodist- Methodism or the Methodist movement is a group of historically related denominations of Protestant Christianity. It originated in 18th century Britain, and through vigorous missionary activity, spread throughout the British Empire, the United States, and beyond. Originally it appealed especially to workers, agricultural workers, and slaves. Theologically most Methodists are Arminian, emphasizing that everyone can be saved (as opposed to Calvinist predestination), and low church in liturgy (although this varies greatly in individual parishes. The Wesleys themselves greatly valued Anglican liturgy and tradition). There are also a number of Calvinistic Methodists in Wales. By 2006 Methodism claimed some 75 million members worldwide.

Jehovah's witness - A member of a religious denomination founded in the United States during the late 19th century in which active evangelism is practiced, the imminent approach of the millennium is preached, and war and organized governmental authority in matters of conscience are strongly opposed.

Mormons- Mormon is a term often used as a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This church is often referred to as the "Mormon Church,"[1][2] and its belief system is often referred to as Mormonism. Scholars have grouped together this church and others that broke away and labeled them the "Latter Day Saint movement." These other churches are sometimes confused with the Mormon Church, but are not in any way associated with it. According to Latter Day Saint history, the term Mormon is derived from the Book of Mormon, which Mormons believe is a scriptural witness of Jesus Christ that is comparable to the New Testament.

Answer 2

I think your best bet is to ask a member of each faith for the basics of their beliefs, or create a list of specific questions and ask them to all 4.

I can tell you that we Witnesses believe in trying to follow the Bible. That is the simplest way to put it. I know the official site for Jehovah's Witnesses is http://www.watchtower.org.

Please realise that MANY who comment on the beliefs of others do not know/understand those beliefs.

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses tend to be unique among self-described Christians in that Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom is a real government which will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 4

Not knowing most of the other's beliefs, I can only tell you what Jehovah's Witnesses believe.

We believe there is no eternal torture in hell. The soul is mortal. The trinity is not true. The meek will inherit the earth. The dead are dead.

I would like to put together a summary of these 4, but it would take a few days. I have yet to find a place summarizing religious beliefs of the major religions.

Good luck.
