Oh, sorry all. I should've explained what it is. It just means you don't have a church, you're not affiliated with any particular religion where you would lable yourself as such. However I do visit some churches. I just don't belong to any of them. And no, it doesn't mean you go to a church that is multidenominational.

I am, organized religions are only for themselves and not for their members, and we have to believe *exactly* the way they say it is, we don't have freedom to think on our own.

LOL yes yummy...I too am non denominational...
Why? Well, My dad's side of the family is either Catholic or JW, while my mom's side of the family were Lutheran/Methodist with quite a long list of Bible Thumper Fire and Brimstone type Preachers and the rest were military.....However, by the time I was born, no-one in my immediete family was going to ANY church, and when my dad left when I was 3 or 4, none of my siblings or my mom had time to answer all my questions...dad was gone...grandparents went with dad to his new family and other grandparents were the prim English type that believed children should not be seen OR heard...so, after hearing about God on the radio, and many failed attempts with family, I sort of borrowed our family's unused Bible and decided to ask my new Father God if He would teach me to read His Book and explain it to me....
As I grew up, I visited different churches with friends when I slept over, tried church myself but argued with those whom told me children were not allowed in church where God was and didn't go back after I was found to have snuck into church one day...lol..
Our Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have been excellent Teachers...and the Lord has always met my needs in the way of fellowship and have met several wonderful people through the years that were much like I, but, family moved a lot so never really found a church I can call "home", so, have my "church" wherever I am with the Lord or whomever He places in my path.
What about you? Why did you decide to be nondenominational?
Peace be with you :)_

I don't belong to a denomination, but I attend an independent Bible church regularly. I prefer that kind of church over a denominatonal church in that denominational churches based their theology on some post-Biblical theologian they reckon as their founder. In such churches the teachings of denominational leaders tend to be treated as infallible. Whereas in a Bible church the Bible itself it what is taught and everything else is opinion which must be defended from the Bible.

There is no such thing as a "non-denominational" Christian. A denomination is defined by a specific set of beliefs. If your belief set matches that of an organized denomination, then you are a member of that denomination. If your belief set doesn't match that of any existing denomination (highly unlikely since there are thousands of them, teaching anything you might want to hear), then you are simply a new denomination, one more fracture in Christianity, one more deviation from the stated will of God, "that they all may be one".

I dont understand non-denominational. That would mean A) it has its own stuff, which would make it another denomination. or B) it has parts of every denomination in it, including Mormonism and Catholicism. My parents made me go to a 'non-denominational' church, its just a way protestants say 'protestant'

I'm non-denominational I'm not sure Iwould be called a christian in many denominations. I think I'm nondenominational because I don't know what the differences are anyway.

No... But I'm a 100% good, kind, steadfast, confirmed, devout, committed, militant, fundamentalist, ultra-tolerant, rabid, logical, rational, empirical, *non-denominational* strong atheist+.
