The important thing is to firstly know the Bible for yourself, then compare what is said with what is in Scripture. Denominational backgrounds are secondary. And I am not in any denomination.

I attended the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod for 25 years. I did not grow as a Christian in that Church so I left. 21 hours ago, Yowm said: Started off in a Charismatic then Southern Baptist->Pentecostal->Non Denom->Reformed Baptist->Lutheran (LCMS>ELS)-> Reformed (Belgic)->non denom. You can throw in a bit of Anglican (1923 BCP). And my BC days was no Church at all, being raised under atheism. Through it all our focus is to be on the Person of Jesus Christ and His Word. 14 hours ago, JohnD said: Chunked 'em all. ... Nearly all other denominations are the same. This is why God never set out to build another religion / denomination / hierarchy of man. We are all priests before God (1 Peter 2:3-9, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 5:10). 14 hours ago, eileenhat said: Blindness of what true faith requires ask the question "which denomination?". True spiritual harvest by God initiates the process of dissassociation of all faiths and religions eventually. As God the Father requires faith solely of him, and not man. Though we use what ever vehicles he may supply us to achieve these aims. 1 hour ago, Ezra said: The important thing is to firstly know the Bible for yourself, then compare what is said with what is in Scripture.

God bless, GE No, I do not. The last Church I attended was a Community Church and although I loved the Pastor's sermons and I learned a lot became a mega Church it was huge and I felt lost. Also their were many cliques and I hate cliques. I have not found a Church where I am comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have erroneously assumed that there are no non-denominational local churches and assemblies. Check around and be informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you ask? Experiencing many denominations only enhanced my understanding of the ways of Churches that I may be more effective in serving. Or is your assumption that we can't settle down so we throw in the towel? Sorry I misread your post. I understood it to mean you didn't attend a local church.

Check around and be informed. Ezra I asked a question for clarification and better understanding of where people are coming from. No need to be mean or rude. I realize there are many local churches who aren't part of any particular denomination or affiliation of churches. Re-read my comments on this thread.

And I want that Pastor to teach me from the words in the Bible. I want a literal meaning to those words. I am not into tongues or the emergent Church. The Church that I want to experience is far and few between today. Churches are not what they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
