Some non-denominations are so huge that they've become denominations.
However, the genral answer is no. If all you're doing is reading the Bible and trying to follow its teachings, you cannot be classified as a denomination. They all have creeds and confessions. Without one of those, you have no dogmatic rules anyone must follow to join your group.

There is no such thing as a non-denominational church. A church is defined by its set of beliefs. That's what separates one denomination from another. The only way a church could be non-denominational is to have no defined beliefs at all, which would make it pretty difficult to be a church. I so-called non-denominational church is just a church that doesn't align itself with a pre-existing denomination. Which of course means that it is simply a new denomination, one more split in Christianity, one more rejection of the stated will of God, "that they all may be one".

What matters is whether you are a Christian; a follower of Christ and His teachings.
Which denomination you choose is usually down to personal peference reagrding things like style of worship.
I don't care what denomination a fellowship is as long as they stick to the teachings of Christ.

I guess that everyone who is non-denominational is really the only follower (or one of the few followers) of their own denomination.

You nailed it. Each person is a denomination unto themselves. There is no such creature as nondenominational. haha

"Non-denominational" is still a denomination. Most of the self-styled "non-denominational" congregations actually adhere to a sufficiently similar set of doctrines to be considered a single denomination.
It's so amusing to see their hypocrisy. They claim to be "non-denominational", but then they still define what they consider to be acceptable and unacceptable doctrines within their "non-denomination".

Right.
A lot of "non-denominational" churches are simply mini-denominations.
god bless
