What branch of Christianity do you belong to?

Question

OK, If you're Christian, what part of Christianity do you belong to - Roman Catholicism, Armenian Orthodox, Lutheran, etc. - and what makes its teachings and values different from all the other branches of Christianity? If you're not Christian, what religion (if any) do you follow and what branch of it do you belong to (if there are any branches of that religion)? Thanks!

Answer 1

AS A CHRISTIAN I BELONG NOT TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NOR THE BAPTIST NOR TO THE MORMON NOR TO THE PROTESTANT, ETC because I belong to all of them as I AM A CHRISTIAN IN THE SPIRIT where there is a unity of the faith with ONE GOD, ONE LORD, ONE BAPTISM, ONE SPIRIT, ONE BODY OF CHRISTIANITY. Evenso, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST said The time is now that you will worship GOD in the spirit and in truth. Why is it so? Pls read on- thus, each religion/ churches claim that they are the true church. Thus, in embracing Chrisitanity, Satan;s stragegy is divide and conquer. Remember that Satan is the real ruler of this word and rules the world by deceptions. Evenso, the churches are deeply divided and each claim to be the true church against the others. But everyone of these churches are a part of the true church as all belong to the one body of Christianity or the Christian religion. In Rev 1:10 and Rev 1:20 THE LORD GOD is holding the seven churches.They were the seven churches in Asia MInor (now Turkey) put up by the apostles of the LORD JESUS CHRIST after 4BC that is after HE ascended to heaven. The seven churches being in the hand of GOD show that all these seven churches are united and are one in the hand of GOD. 1ST is the Ephesus Church, now the hebrew oriented churches under the laws, tithes, sabbaths, etc. These churches are the Jehovah witnesses, Sabbatistas, 7th day adventists and they worship GOD as FATHER- ABBA. This relationship is between the FATHER AND THE PRODIGAL CHILDREN as they put themselves under the law yet cannot follow the laws. They are the right hand and the legs of the christian body. They declare that GOD is the TREE OF LIFE which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. This churches are imperfect as they are loveless as their faith is based on laws and not in their hearts. The 2nd is the Smyrna church now the Mormons. They worship GOD as THE LAMB OF GOD. They are the life of the body. This relationship is between the MEEK GOD called THE LAMB OF GOD and the meek men called the Saints. They declare that GOD is the CROWN OF LIFE which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. GOD'S comment is that this church is NOT COURAGEOUS and as such is imperfect church. It is so as they are cowering in fear in the Cities and as Saints they should look for martyrdom so that their blood spilled to the ground will give birth to christian churches. This church is under the LAW. The 3rd is pergamus church now the born again and fundamentalist. They are the mouth of the christian body. They worship GOD as the MAN-GOD -LORD JESUS CHRIST. This relationship is between the MAN-GOD AND MEN to prove that THE LORD JESUS CHRIST was a historical man. GOD' S comment is that these churches are imperfect as they are backsliders as they say and they do not do. They declare that GOD is THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN AND THE ROCK OF SALVATION which is the title of THELORD JESUS CHRIST. These churches are under the dispensation of GRACE. The 4th is the thyatira church now the Protestant and anglican churches. They are the eyes and feet of the Christian body. They worship GOD as THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS which is one of the titles of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. This relationship is between the POWERFUL GOD and the powerful men. They are the eyes and feet of the christian body. GOD'S comment is that these churches are imperfect as they are corrupt.
They declare that GOD is the SOLE ONE WITH POWER AND GLORY which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. These churches are under the dispensation of GRACE not under the LAW. The 5th is the Sardis church now the scholars, scientology, science churches.'They are the head and mind of the Christian body. They worship GOD who is the ALFA AND THE OMEGA which is one of the titles of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. This relationship is between the HIGHEST AMONG THE PROPHETS and the prophets. GOD'S comment is that this church is dead and thus, is imperfect. It is so as they claimed that their wisdom are from themselves though GOD is the ONE that gives them that wisdom and knowledge and thus, they are dead to GOD. They declare that GOD is THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF LIFE which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. These churches are under the dispensation of GRACE not under the law. The 6th is the Philadelphia now the miracle workers-MIRACLE CRUSADERS. They are the heart of the body. They worship GOD as the BRIDEGROOM which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; and HIS relationship is loving faithfully HIS wife as a bride eternally. This church is perfect as the love of GOD makes them perfect. They declare that GOD is the AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH IN GOD which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. These churches are under the dispensation of GRACE not under the LAW. The 7th is the laodicia now the Catholics, Ecumenical Church and the Eastern othodox church. They worship GOD IN THE SPIRIT called EMMANUEL which is one of the titles of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, as they are also the majority parts of the Christian body and thus, are everywhere. GOD's comment is that these churches are lukewarm and thus, is imperfect. This is so as the majority parts of the human body is lukewarm in temperature and at 37 degrees centigrade a body has a fever and lower than that a body is dead. They declare that GOD is the HOST OF THE LORD'S SUPPER which is a title of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. All these seven churches are imperfect churches except the Philadelphia church made perfect by THE LOVE OF GOD. Today, they are divisive because of Satan's deception of divide and conquer. Physically today, they are the seven churches on Earth. In 4BC, they were the seven churches in Asia. But In the HAND OF GOD thus, being perfect, they are the seven churches in the spirit. In the coming reign of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, they will be called THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF GOD AND OF CHRIST in the universal church. Additionally, the GOD worshipped by these seven churches are all the titles of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST such as ABBA-EVERLASTING FATHER; THE LAMB OF GOD; THE WORD OF GOD; THE KING OF KINGS; THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA; THE BRIDEGROOM AND EMMANUEL. Thus, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST wears many crowns. Moreover, these seven churches in the spirit held by THE HAND OF THE LORD is the symbol of the UNITY OF THE FAITH. And at John 17:23 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST prayed for the UNITY OF THE FAITH saying FATHER whom YOU have given ME that they maybe made perfect as WE ARE ONE. Likewise, one of the hidden titles of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is HE breaches the walls of division and walls of hostility among the deceived believers. St John's SEVEN CHURCHES IN ASIA has passed the baton of earthly leadership to these SEVEN CHURCHES ON EARTH (the imperfect churches-except Phila church) and that St John has passed the baton of spiritual leadership to your humble service-PROPHET JOHN THE SEVEN CHURCHES IN THE SPIRIT which I am the Chief Pastor . In connection with these UNITY OF THE FAITH AND THE ONENESS OF THE FATHER; ONENESS OF LORD; ONENESS OF THE SPIRIT; ONENESS OF FAITH; ONENESS OF BAPTISM AND ONENESS OF BODY-THUS ONE BECOMES PERFECT IN THE SPIRIT.

Answer 2

Roman Catholicism

Answer 3

Besides the fact that Schweppes is a subsidiary of Coke or Pepsi (sorry, forget which one), there really is not much difference between many of the branches or denominations of Christianity. Various surveys of ministers and priests show that while they may be a particular "branch", they often teach doctrines that are more like other "branches." In other words you could walk in to one church and hear a different denomination's dogmas. It is more likely that people choose their churches based on how they relate to the poeple in it.

Answer 4

I am a Confessional Lutheran. What makes Confessional Lutherans unique is that all our doctrines and teaching and beliefs are taken from Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura).

We believe that there are two Churches; one visible, one invisible.

The visible Church consists of the Denominations, their buildings, and their congregations. The visible Church is made up of Un-believers and Believers alike.

The invisible Church is made up of all believers. Those that are alive, Those who have died and are in heaven, and those who will be born and come to the faith by the power of the Holy Spirit. We confess this belief in the three Ecumenical Creeds, the Apostles, the Nicean, and the Athanatian as the Communion of Saints.

Answer 5

I am a Protestant, but I'll leave it there! I could care less about denominations, sects or groups. If you believe Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave and by his shed blood you will inherit Eternal Life, if you have accepted Him as your Lord and savior and His Holy Spirit dwells within You the rest is not that important. Read God's Word, Pray and "Love your neighbor as yourself". Let anyone who causes DIVISION face God's Judgement when He returns to call His People. Religion Is Death, Only a Relationship with Jesus Christ can save you!

Answer 6

I'm a Bible believing Christian.

I'm not part of any denomination.

Our authoritative teaching comes only from the Bible.

We don't follow tradition, we don't follow church councils.

The only thing a church council decides is when and where to hold the next church council and what to have for dinner.

The subject of the last meeting I attended was on the subject of "How to Plant New Churches" and we had nearly 2,000 attend from probably 50 or more different denominations.

The values of those 50 or more denominations were exactly the same.

The meeting before that I attended was about how to evangelize students on college campuses.

The meeting before that was about how to improve marriages.

The one before that was about how best to present the gospel on the Internet.

Some have different ideas of how to preach the gospel but our teaching of what the gospel is, comes from the Bible and that's it.

Answer 7

I am of a non-denominational church with pentecostal roots. Our teachings are similar to any other church organization which believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died for the sins of man, believes in the Trinity of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. Also, our teaching centers around being fully submersed and baptized in water, repentance of sins, the evidence of speaking tongues, laying on of hands to heal people supernaturally and inviting the Holy Spirit into a service through praise and worship. And, finally living in holiness and purity through the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

I am a Penticostal, inter-denominational Christian. We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these are one God.
The reason we say inter-denominational, is because we do not exclude other Christian denominations, and doctrines, to define who we fellowship with. This because although we believe that the bible is written without error and is devinely inspired we feel that truth will be worked out as we join in the unity of fellowship and love.
We do have a creed that we believe to be the truth, but we shall remain open to Jesus and the Spirit of God to reveal if we need to let go or change a doctrine. (This, of course, would be done with much debate and with unrevoke able truth.)
Our Creed:
We believe in Jesus Christ as the scriptures reveal him to be God and is whome the Whole Family of Heaven is named. He is the Son of God and the Savior of men and all who call on his name.
We believe in the Father as God the one who fills all, knows all, and is all powerful, undefineable because of his majesty. Yet, he is knowable in character as seen through scripture and his image in the Son. The Heavens is his throne and the earth is his footstool.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who can not be separated from the Father nor the Son and is undefineble because man can not comprehend what is the hight, the dept, nor the essence of God. Yet, he is the revealer of truth and teaches us the way of righteousness. He is the Spirit of the Son and the Spirit of God and without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our mortal bodies we can not be named as Christ's or a Christian.
We believe it is the Blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross that cleanses our mortal bodies and enables the Spirit of God to indwell the believer, thus, giving us eternal life.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead at the end of days.
sorry I had to cut this short.,
