Answer 2

I would find a Nondenominational or a Pentecostal Church. I was raised Lutheran. Then I became a Baptist and then I became a Pentecostal, and now I have become a Nondenominational. I have learned a lot from each one, but I feel that I am at the one that teaches the most truth since I have received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

If all you have are these few choices, go to the Protestant Church. May the Lord Jesus direct you as you seek Him and His love.

Answer 3

First, if you are believing Christ - ASK HIM!

Labels mean very little.

Find a church that:
1. Believes the Bible.
2. Does what Jesus said.
3. Actively teaches others to do the same.

Answer 4

Finding the church that the Lord has for you is not an overnight decision. It has taken me as long as 3 years to find that particular place where my faith will blossom and I would be a blessing to others. But all the while I am visiting churches and "seeking God's face" because He will never steer me wrong. The best advice is to NOT get caught up with a doctrine. Wrap your heary around Jesus and His Word. And then you will just know in your heart where you are to plant your feet. May the Lord guide you to His perfect place.

Answer 5

I recommend you study the history of Christianity and see which one you believe has the best claim to being the Church founded by Christ. Also, read Matthew 16:15-18 and John 21:15-17 to see who was given the keys to the kingdom of Heaven, who was given the power to bind and loose, and who was entrusted with the care of Christ's followers. Since the Apostles had successors (Acts 1:15-26), who today claims to be Peter's successor? Whose claim is most valid?

Answer 6

Pray for guidance. Attend each church, more then once. Do some research.

I'm a convert to Catholicism. You will find everything you need in the Catholic Church.

Answer 7

Whichever church you go to make sure that what they say is in line with the Bible. If they say that they are above the Bible or have more authority than the Bible, get out of there. Try to find a non-denominational church. They seem to be the most reliable to me.

Answer 8

Have you thought of not joining a sect at all? One can be full of the love of Jesus and not have to be a card carrying member of any sect. They will only confine the freedom of your own path of discovery. It may be better to find your own way, while always staying open to what the different sects have to say.

Answer 9

Try attending several of the churches you've mentioned, and see which one most appeals to you spiritually. I'd personally be the most familiar with the Catholic and Orthodox liturgies, but you must decide for yourself which option to choose. Pick whichever one helps you understand the faith, charity and love of Christ the best.

Answer 10

Go with the Orthodox Christian church. This is the only Christian Church that has remained true to the original Church. The Western Church has fragmented and fragmented into sects that don't resemble the original church.

Answer 11

at the start, the Bible is the Bible. i actual have a clean King James version. even nonetheless i've got heard that it became interpreted with some blunders. I actual have heard the superb interpretations are the ESV or the NASV. The "sects" are often purely diverse interpretations of the bible. some human beings have confidence countless issues (alongside with toddler baptism) while others do no longer. it fairly is purely interpretation. i actual am Baptist. i decide to advise stepping right into a church that FIRMLY sticks to Scripture. it fairly is the be attentive to God. Take care, chum.
