If your first response to this question was "I am a <insert denomination here>." Then you need to "Examine yourself whether you be in the faith."

I have to agree with WSB. Whether for the same reasons or not I don't know. I remember when the march for Jesus was still big a few years back and I looked around and saw all these banners flying announcing specific denominations. And I thought to myself, If this is the march for Jesus, why are all these people glorifying their denominations. Denominational pride is just as bad as blind patriotism. It leaves the door open for prejiduce to other denominations and weakens the fabric of the church as a whole body.

What would Jesus rather hear, I follow Jesus or I follow the *fill in the denomination*?

I am unfamiliar with what the "March for Jesus" is so I'll withhold comment on that . My concern in regards to "denominations are evil" and such is that it is just as likely to breed hatred and contempt as denominations are. Do you go to a certain church? Why? Would you go to Catholic church, a Baptist church, a Lutheran church? What about a Church of God or Pentacostal church? If you say yes to some and no to others, then why? You also have accepted denominationalism. If you say yes to all then I question what exactly do you hold to be truth. Granted, it is wrong to say that salvation resides only one denomination or another, however, I did not get the impression that that was the point of this thread. It was simply to see where the general persuasions of this board are for truthfully you can know an awful lot about a person simply by knowing which denominations (notice I was plural there) they most frequently attend.

In Christ,

Eric

I didn't say denominations are evil, I said denominational pride is dangerously close to putting the body of christ below your specific denomination

And it is a fair enough statement. But I don't get the impression that this thread is trying to promote such things. Sometimes it's better to wait for evidence than to come out swinging.

Messianic Hebrew......Tzadik Beni El Elyon  A righteous child of the most high God.

I'm a Hebrew who believes in Yeshua as Moshaich of all peoples.  I'm righteous in the sight of God because of what he did for me and I am his child who desires to live with his Abba forever.
