Which is the correct type of Christianity?

Question

OK, I have seen the light and accepted Jesus into my life as my saviour. I am happy that I will be going to heaven now.

But which is the correct type of Christianity? There's so many different types - Roman Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Methodist, Orthodox etc. Which is the right one? I don't want to pick the wrong one in case I go to hell...

Answer 1

This is a VERY sensitive area for anyone to go through. There are so many right and wrong religions out there. Me personally, I'm a Pentecostal. Basically what we believe is that you must literally receive the Holy Spirit. Basically, most Christians believe that you get it when you repent and accept God in your life and some believe you get it when you are baptized in water. In my religion, you can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and you will start talking in tongues. If you look in the Bible, and you look up the Day of Pentecost, it was the day that the disciples received the Holy Spirit and they were speaking in tongues. I know many people that have it, and I hear them speaking the language, but no one on this earth can know what it means. Its kind of like a translator between you and Jesus, and it is an unknown language to humans. You can't speak it whenever you want, but if you truly feel the presence of God and you're getting worked up, it will just come to you, and basically you are just telling God all of your problems and heart aches, but you don't know what your saying either. It's like your heart is doing the talking, the Holy Spirit is translating it, and Jesus is listening. This is only my religion, but I want you to have a bigger perspective. Don't just go with a religion because it's the majority religion or something like that. Now, if I were you I would ask around get interested in the religions that you might consider and get facts on EACH one. Like I gave you a comparison between Christians and Pentecostals, and my proof is in the Bible, so it's not like I'm following some guy who just decided to make a religion one day or something like that. I can honestly say that I feel like my religion is the correct one for me and maybe even others, but again, that is only because my personal relationship with God. I don't believe that there should be any difference, and that's why it somewhat shocks me that you say "which one is the right religion." Do what feels right to you, you don't need to join a religion, follow your heart and do what the Bible tells you to do. Follow Gods commandments, obey God, and make sure you understand that he gave his only Son to die for our sins. I know it may be confusing, but God is watching over you and He will never leave you. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

The 'religion' you follow will not dictate your entrance into Heaven. There are R. Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, and Orthodox believers going to Heaven, and there are some from each that are going to Hell.

When you have Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and have been baptized in the name of the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit you are saved. I suggest an orthodox (normal) Church, perhaps a Calvary Chapel, Baptist, or some protestant non-denominational.

That is just my suggestion though, you have to choose for yourself, but don't doubt your salvation, that cannot be taken away from you by anything or anyone. Your salvation is in the hands of God, not of the Church.

Answer 3

True Christianity is obeying the word of God fully and not adding or taking away from it so first of all that rules out the catholic order which is pagan in origin and any other denomination that comes under them. The only way you will truly know if you're in the write place is if you continue to pray to God and read your bible (King James Version)

Answer 4

Once people read Scripture and start praying to God, they are forming a relationship with him and receiving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isnt just here for fun or to hang out, he is able to guide us into Gods truths and help us with things like seek out other believers that are teaching his truths properly.

Jesus and Paul warned us many times of false prophets and false teachings. That is why there are so many warnings to not accept false Gospels and false teachings.

With that being said, I would recommend avoiding denominations and start with a non-denominational church. They are more Biblically focused. At the core, the church has to understand that Jesus is the one and only son of God, then you can work your doctrines from there.

Answer 5

Find a church that GOD is well pleased with. Sure as Smyrna and Philly Rev 2:8-11, Rev 3:7-13.

Find one that teaches ch by ch and vs by vs so you are getting fed truth and not traditions of men. Find one that teaches both old and new testaments.

Don't go to a church that gives you one vs and blows hot air, then begs for money. You won't get fed there.

Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

Amo 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Answer 6

I don't really know if there IS a correct type of Christianity. But I think the best type of Christianity is taking the Bible AS IT IS is the best type. A lot of Christian religions change things in the Bible and it says somewhere in Revelation that no one should change ANYTHING in the Bible. LIVING like God commands you has a lot to do with being a Christian too.

Answer 7

The Roman Catholic Church is the only church founded by Jesus Christ. Also, make sure you accept Jesus, not as your PERSONAL Saviour, but as a Saviour for everyone.

Answer 8

Catholic, it's the only one that dates back to Christ, I don't think you have to worry about going to hell, chose what ever one suits you, and simply follow Christs teachings and you will be just fine, I am a roman catholic by choice, what ever denomination you chose will be the right one for you trust in God to guide you. may God bless.

Answer 9

Look at what God's word says: Whoever is following HIS word and Christ- they are born again- those who have confessed their sin and repented, put their trust in Him....those who do not fall away from His word and believe false doctrine. It all comes back to the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Jesus says "Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God" John 3:3
Do not ever stray from the truth of God's word which is the Holy Bible.
If a church is teaching something contrary to what the Bible says, it is not the truth.

Answer 10

They are all flawed to some degree as man is involved in it. I suggest you look for smaller church and keep checking them out until you see the fruit of the spirit displayed by members/attenders. Galatians 5-22 and 23.
