If you are both fanatically gung ho, it won't work.

If you both are mature enough to "agree to disagree" on some of the beliefs of the other denomination, then it will work. I think the fundamental difference in the two is the "speaking in tongues" matter.
But, if one of you insists that the other is not saved or doesn't have the Holy Spirit because they don't talk in "tongues", then you will have a rocky marriage. I am baptist. If you will read the bible carefully, and study, and pray, you will find that speaking in tongues was referring to the apostles being able to instantly (with no training) speak in other languages. Each person who heard them, heard in his own language. This happened so that the gospel could be spread to all nations surrounding them.
If you truly love each other, God will show you the answer to the differences.

My mum and dad have been married about 25 years, raised four children ( still raising me I suppose) , and they come from Catholic and Church of England. Not quite the same as Baptist and Church of God, but there are many differences between the the two, ( catholic, C of E, not mum and dad that is) i was brought up to believe from a christian perspective but not necessarily one way or the other. It works well i think as long as you don't force each other one way or the other. Children brought up under the religions shouldn't be forced one way or the other either, but decide themselves ( Christening your choice).

whilst a denomination preaches some thing as doctrine which won't be genuine doctrine yet a private interpretation taught as doctrine... Then if somebody believes different than their doctrine.. like Baptists might prepare against talking in tongues... It behooves the guy who believes in yet in a various thank you to connect with people who've that Biblical adventure... when you consider that people who do no longer start up shunning those that do. so some distance as i be conscious of.. (certainly no longer being Baptist yet i've got heard testimonials from some who replaced to Pentecostal) the only distinction between Baptist and Pentecostal is the tongues subject. i became Methodist until ultimately I had the adventure of talking in tongues. The Methodist historic previous shows that all of it started with tongues talkers yet over the years it waned.

The Scripture says "Be ye not unequally yoked believer and unbeliever..." But it also says, 'Let the wife sanctify (lead to the truth) the husband and let the husband sanctify the wife." I'm paraphrasing here a bit). Since you're both believers, but simply from different denominations, you'll have to work that out through counseling and prayer! Either way, as you raise the kids to have faith, one day, those children will have to make a conscious choice of their own concerning faith, so as long as you've done your spiritual duty by those children, you cannot worry about the spiritual choices they make.

They are denominations. Not the church. So they give the hands over the fance. Nothing will happen, because they denominations, their nature is the same, division. But if you talk to me about the church doing that, that is another thing.

Well if your life is built on denominations
its condemned already
Whats wrong with leaving the name above the door
and Seeking the NAME above every Name
whereby you must be Saved
If your going to be a member of the blood washed church
its time to leave the building made by mans hands
and get into the ONE...whose builder and maker is GOD
and raise your children up in the teachings of the Bible and not mans rienditions.............
Teach them Jesus Christ and HIM crucified...
Not Jesus Christ but Him in a Building !!!!!!!!

Religion should really have no say in your love and emotions for each other. Those are just what you believe, it doesn't stand for how you act with each other. As long as you guys both respect what the other believes then you will be fine. As for raising children, I would let your kids be shown and educated on both religions, and let them believe what they believe. You can't make someone believe something, so I would let them find their own paths.

sure it will. you both have to respect each other and don't talk about your church, just attend your church and let them attend theirs. if children is ever in the picture. you could take them one week and let them go with the other one next time. by age 5 or 6, they will let you know where they want to go. and it would nit hurt either one of you to try going to the others church once in a while.
we really don't know what GOD has in store for us. so find out from both Church's and learn from both.

If you force your beliefs into every part of your relationship, then of course you're going to have problems.
I would suggest using a passive method. Teach your kids about both your beliefs, but don't try to force them to accept either of your religions. They'll end up making the choice themselves about which religion seems right for them, if any.
That's what free will is.

There can be slight differences but......it can work.
As long as the common denominator is the Lord Jesus Christ, any marriage between 2 Christians will work
