For Christians: What denomination are you and what sets you apart from other denominations?

Answer 1

Hi, I'm a Roman Catholic.

I think that our service (or mass, as we call it), is much more ritualistic than other denominations. We also believe in Saints, the immaculate conception, celebacy for the priesthood and many other things.

But it is our belief in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior that binds us as his children.

Peace to you!

Answer 2

Free Will Baptist.

Usually just soteriological beliefs sets us apart from other denominations. (Calvinists vs. Arminians)

Also church ordinances play a role in setting apart different denominations.

Small preferences that are not a matter of salvation is what sets apart evangelical churches. All believe in the same God, all believe in the same way to become a Christian.

Answer 3

Non denomination because denominations aren't in the bible. One God, one Lord God-Jesus-Holy Ghost =Trinity. Denominations are just rule driven churches. And it's not about the rules and the order of service. it's about loving and serving one another by encouraging, and guidance to get thru what life places in our way. I don't knock anyones faith because if it keeps you from doing wrong and a better human being do what you have to do. The bible says we'll know it all when we are face to face with God. We are living the unknown by faith. I'd rather live for God and go to Heaven verses not believing and going to Hell later.

Answer 4

I am non-denominational. We "major on the majors and minor on the minors" which means we don't get involved in a lot of the small details or "high theological" rhetoric like Baptists, Nazarenes, etc...

I attend two Churches and we focus on spreading God's love and Christ's message of salvation through the world. We are also more accepting of sinners but without enabling their sin.

Answer 5

I am a Mormon.

My religion believes that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are 3 seperate people. We believe that throught the atonement of Christ, everyone can be saved if they live by the laws of the church. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly. We also believe the Book Of Mormon to be the word of God. There are also those little things like don't wear immodest clothing (bikinis included), no smoking, no coffee, no caffiene, no swearing, keeping the Sabbath Day holy, and much more.

Answer 6

I actually attend a Church of God(Cleveland), but denominations don't mean anything to me. I'm a Christian, that's what is important.

Answer 7

Hello.. I am a Jehovahs Witness. What sets us apart is that we follow the Bible and live by it. No we are not perfect, but we do try to follow the Christ, and do what our loving Father Jehovah tells us to do according to the Bible. We are the only people that go out and preach and announce the Gods Kingdom is Mans ONLY hope for Mankind. We worship the ONE TRUE God, Jehovah.

Answer 8

Non denominational Christian...we go strictly by what is written. No Rituals(confession etc.) or any of that stuff, just babtism

Answer 9

I currently consider myself to be of no denomination. I was raised Baptist but there are some doctrinal issues there that I don't agree with. If people really want me to label myself more specific that "Christian" I usually say "liberal" or "progressive."

Answer 10

I am a nazarene, we believe in the inspiration of the Holy Word of God, and believe that a person can be freed and cleansed from sins. We believe in 2nd work of grace where a Christian who is born of God, born again can be freed from the sinful nature. This we call entire sanctification, meaning that the carnal man, is put to death by his total consecration to God, to giving God all that we are in exchange God gives us all that He is in the fullness of the Spirit. We believe that one who is filled with the Spirit will not continue to sin, this does not make him sinless or infalible, but by faith in God can live a godly and holy life apart from willfully sinning. We believe that sin is "a willful transgression of a known law of God" And until one has been made aware of by the Holy Spirit's conviction will he know that he needs a Savior, and yet the Spirit has brought conviction that they are sinners through the crucifixion of Christ. We believe that God's empowerment gives us the ability to live without sin, in Christ-likeness with a pure heart. With men this is impossible but not so with God for with God all things are possible. We believe that we can follow God's commands wholeheartedly once having been filled, and entirely sanctified. We belive that this is not a static state of being it is a relational state to which increases to always allow one to grow in grace upon grace by the Holy Spirit's witness. We believe that man can and sometimes fall from such states of grace, once having achieved it by faith in God's ability to save and this to the uttermost, that once he has fallen, repentance is still available, and grace still affords that we can renew our relationship by repenting of those sins which God has made us aware, and having done so we can continue once again in such a cleansed and sanctified life. We believe that if one falls from grace, if he does not repent eventually allows the carnal mind, or the flesh to take over his life again and after continuing in this lifestyle falls out of favor with God and will if he continues with this backsliding lifestyle will eventually become lost eternally and lose out on heaven.
