There is no Non-Denominational Christianity. There are non-denominational denominations in Christianity. Which simply means they can be all of the above or none of the above. They vary like the wind. Which is O.K.

this is a huge question actually.
the first part is easy: non-denominational is really a subjective term, as I agree with fish, there is always definition involved - we simply cannot get away from it.
I would say that my church is evangelical.
In terms of the 2nd part of your q, our church believes in the infallible inerrant word of the living Bible. Interpretation is were the 'denomination' comes in. There is a trust, I believe, among evangelicals and those who say the are non-denominational, that they can come together on common ground.... more so than say Lutherans and Catholics....who interpret scripture in very different ways.
I have lots of ideas on the path(s) main stream religions are taking in probably the very near future. It would take far too long to type it here though.
blessings :)

None of the above. True non-denominational Christianity is Biblical in its approach.
Speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent.
The first century church founded by Christ is alive and well.
We are a congregation of the churches of Christ. We are not affiliated with any denomination but, instead, seek only to be Christians.
Each congregation is governed by its own elders, in harmony with the New Testament. We have no central headquarters or president. The head of the church is none other than Jesus Christ himself (Ephesians 1:22-23).
It is the Word of God that unites us into One Faith (Ephesians 4:3-6). We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his holy Apostles, and not the teachings of man. We are Christians only!

I am not non-denominational in any way, but I've visited a number of their churches. Most struck me as evangelical, leaning toward conservatism and Fundamentalism in theology, but with a slight liberalism regarding modes of worship and dress codes. In my area, these churches are mostly Baptist-Pentecostal hybrids, with the accompanying evangelical doctrine.

I'm not sure how to answer that. I attend a non-denominational church. We believe in the bible and my church teaches from it day after day. If you follow the bible as it is written, you should just be called bible believing, I'd think.

Non-denominational = come as you are, hear the word, talk about how we can apply it in our lives today and when we are out of church live it. We don't really need any strategys or plans we just "do" it so to speak.

Independent churches(non-denominational) come in every doctrinal shade available. What they teach depends entirely on their congregations and pastors.

when you throw politics into religious beliefs, you blow ANY chance of understanding Christianity.
Do you politicize your relationships? If you do, it has poor foundations.
