pretty self explanatory... methodist.

i belong to evangelical free church

I use to be Orthodox, but I consider myself atheist now.

I am a member of the United Methodist Church.

Orthodox, but I'm an agnostic.

Well, I go to First Baptist Church, but, I just consider myself a Christian, no "fancy" names.

free evangelical

I dont know the sppecific name but I beileve in god but beleive he left evolution to take its own course

what is the specific name for that?

This thread was more directed at Christians who attend church regularly, which is why you don't see an undecided, atheist, Pastafarian etc. I guess a more accurate thread title would have been whats your Christian denomination. sorry for any confusion.

Intelligent Design.

I changed the thread name, to go with what the original poster wanted.

what does it say really big at the front of your church?

if its first_________church off Wake Forest, NC than that is probably it.:icon_bigg

Does it matter what church I go to? I have no membership in a church anyway. I myself follow the Bible, it doesn't matter where I go.

UMC please

haha i guess my post got deleted. lol

anyway, i am an atheist, but i go to Emanuel baptist church to hang out with my christian friends. (their dad is the pastor there) haha

irony.
its a beautiful thing.

Quaker, *****

Post-modern....missional reformed.

Well I use to be methodist, but then I started going to a presbyterian church, I really just consider myself a christian, no fancy labels.

I'm semi-religious.

Not really sure. I do, however, consider myself a Christian, and therefore Presbyterian.

im part of the anti-everything movement

Hi there Tucker.

I'm supposed to be christian, but I...just can't anymore.

"I would believe this whole 'religion' thing, but I have this things...called thoughts." - Lewis Black

I'm a theistic Evolutionist. Thanks Razz.

Are you some kind of magician, or do you have superpowers?

You caught me bud,

However

I would like to say

I made this because i feel a perma ban was to excessive. Delte this account and change my other ban to 3-4 months. thatd be a nice deal

I learnt my leason. Look no flamming or anything, check all my posts

tucker, fear, twiggy, DAMN!

Quite a family aye. I'm going to stop now =]

Fear. your little brother is obsessed with teh fishies.

I really like the way the emerging/reformissional church does things (like Mars Hill in Seattle). I attend a Baptist church and an Evangelical Free church but I don't really consider myself part of any particular denomination. I believe in the Bible, 100 percent.

Im a Jehovas Whitness.

lol
you cant spell , i'm, Jehovah or Witness.

Mennonite - Almost positive I'm the only one here.

what's their difference?

I'm (officially) a Catholic, or a "Filthy Teag" as we are more commonly known in "Norn Irn"

Mennonite - Almost positive I'm the only one here.

I used to be best friends with a Mennonite. The odd thing was that they were super liberal and got drunk all the time.

EDIT: By 'they' I meant his family.

Pentecostal. The strictest religion ever.:icon_frow

^^^Just be glad you're not Hindu... at least we don't burn your hands with acid and stuff. It's kind of a bummer when having freedom in Christ and getting to spend an eternity with Him deserves a frowny face... Oh well, keep your chin up man, it's not THAT bad (actually, I'd say it's pretty dang good when you consider those who have no hope of eternity and no sense of meaning to life)

^Uh, what?

I love Satan.

^Uh, what?

Was it the whole post that was confusing or just parts? I guess it all made sense in my head and maybe didn't translate well in the post... but feel free to let me know what you didn't get and I'll try to be more clear.

Baptist my whole fam is so i just adopted it to but y didnt u post muslim lol i guess no muslims skateboard

i am a universalist

Baptist my whole fam is so i just adopted it to but y didnt u post muslim lol i guess no muslims skateboard

because this is the Christian skateboarders section, and those are all Christian denominations. last time i checked Islam did not apply, but correct me if I'm wrong.

^ Yup!

the hindu part

I'm protestant, not sure why it's not on your list as I guess it's one of the largest denominations

Non-Denominational Christian.

Catholic. I feel if you believe in the bible, and try to do your best in following what is written, you got a grip on trying to cope with all the junk this world throws at you.

i am a lutheran

the hindu part

I could be wrong about this, and it may not even be a practice any more if it ever was, but I was under the impression that certain indescretions in the Muslim faith were punishable by very extreme means (i.e. if a woman was unfaithful to her husband they would burn her face with acid). again, I could be wrong, but my point was that there are a LOT of other religions that are way more strict than Christianity, in fact, Christianity probably has the most freedoms of any other religion because it's not good deeds that bring us salvation but Christ, even Paul said "all things are permissable, but not all beneficial". That was all my point was.

Pentacostal, Baptist, Lutheran, etc. all fall under the "protestant" umbrella. That was just when Martin Luther realized that there were fallicies with the Catholic religion of his day regarding interpretation of Scipture and parts of that faith that have no scripteral backing at all. Pretty much all Christian "denominations" other than Catholics (and LDS and Jehova's Witness) would probably be considered protestant.

First you said hindu, now you're saying muslim. So because christianity is essentially free, does that mean christians can do whatever they want and be consequence free. Obviously there will be worldy consequences, once they die, if they have jesus' blood on them, it doesn't matter what they did, right?

Totally didn't mean to start an argument, believe me I am NOT an advocate of "doing whatever you want" because I know that as a TRUE Christian the desire to want to serve God and be Christ-like SHOULD supercede earthly desires. But the fact of the matter is that you are not going to hell because you lie or cheat or steal or even sleep with your neighbors wife, you may get caught in your lie and lose credibility, you may go to jail for stealing, you may lose your marriage for not being faithful and so you should because you messed up, but ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God so as long as you have accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and have accepted his sacrifice then regardless of what you have done or will do you will be with him forever in paradise, NOT SO in many other religions where you DO have to do a certain number of good deeds, or witness to a certain number of people or earn your salvation any other way. And who really cares if I said Hindu or Muslim, I pretty sure I meant Muslim so I'm sorry if I confused you or was misinformed about that particular faith but my point is still the same that Christianity is not about punishment or "do this, don't do that" it's about living for God and a desire to know and please Him and through that will you desire to live above the flesh, not through rules and regulations. Remember the Pharisees and what their downfall was?

im, lutheran, but im chill with them all as long as its in the christian category

Wow... sorry if I came across a little strong in my previous post, I really didn't mean to sound as defensive as I did (after re-reading my post). I know I didn't mean Hindu because I really don't know anything about that faith other than the fact that they have like, hundreds of Gods, so I did mean Muslim. I could be wrong about that too but I've heard of extreme instances like that (the acid thing).

If you study Baptist history, you will find that those churches identifying themselves as such did not emerge from Protestantism and in fact existed prior to the Reformation and the appearance of the Lutheran Church (supposedly the first of all Protestant churches). Baptist's in practice have been known by various designations throughout history including Donatists, Paulicians, Albigenses, Waldenses, and Anabaptists. These groups historically have always and wholly rejected and repudiated Catholicism and it's doctrines as well as any other extra-biblical doctrine that has come along through the ages.

Church of God, with is a branch of Pentecostal so I'll just say that :).

Haha, yeah you did come off a bit strong in that other post, thats cool though, just shows that you're passionate. About the strictness of religions though, most of it is a cultural thing, there are some things that christian cultures have done that i find pretty out there. Like the filipino church, going through a mock crucifixtion every easter.

Church of God is not Pentecostal, it is the result of a non-denominational movement. You're probably thinking of Assemblies of God.

Im nondenominational..
Im just Christian..

lol

Ah, guess I had a point wrong. I thought it was though. I guess I was a bit wrong, but still Church of God.

I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes :icon_frow Thanks for being cool!

I am currently attending a Church of God University. I was actually talking to my girlfriend earlier about this and she informed me that there are actually two different Church of God denominations, haha. So I was half wrong in saying that Church of God is not Pentecostal because one of them is Pentecostal. Sorry about that, haha.

I dont know the sppecific name but I beileve in god but beleive he left evolution to take its own course

what is the specific name for that?

Just a christian. Thats just one of the little things that you could beleive in that someone else might not. like i personally dont beleive in evolution i think he just made us. but in the end we both beleive the main things so theres no specific name

If you want to get technical you would be a "Theistic Evolutionist" :) but whether or not you believe Christ was the Son of God and died and rose again would determine whether or not you are a "Christian." Believing in evolution doesn't affect your salvation like believing in Jesus does.
Christians that believe in evolution usually believe in what's called the "Day=Age theory" which takes the genesis account of creation and simply says that when scripture says "one the ___ day" that it doesn't mean a literal day, but rather an age which would accomodate for the time needed for evolution to occur. I don't personally believe that but a lot of do.

yeah, the gap theory is not scriptural

I believe the Gap theory is a little different than the day/age theory in that the day/age theory would say that the scripture followed through to the evolution of man, whereas the Gap theory more says that up until man it was literal, but there was a gap of time between when God created the earth and the animals, and then man, and that Gap is what accomodated for evolution. I could be wrong about this but I do believe they are different theorys with different means to the same end, and both unsubstantiated by actual scripture. I may need a refresher on exactly what the Gap theory is, though. All I really know is Scripture says what it says and who are we to question how God says he created everything. He didn't need evolution so why would we take a man-made concept and apply it to God. Seems arrogant to me.

ooh yeah..i got those confused but theyre along the same lines to me anyways...oh well

They are along the same lines, I did't mean to sound so nit-picky about something as trivial as termonology. They are all the same anyway.

haha i didnt think you did bro

im a christian, but the church i got to is pretty boring. i wanna go to a baptist church to try it out.

:( mine isn't in there. I go to a Nazarene church.

Non-Denominational, seriously if it's not in the Bible why the heck do you need to do some ritual to go to heaven?

I'm a Jehovah's Witness. It's spelt like that. :icon_wink

I'm protestant, not sure why it's not on your list as I guess it's one of the largest denominations

All Christians that are not Catholic are protestant.

Protestant-A Christian religion that rejects(protests hence the name) the Catholic view.

Church of Skatin'!

i am a baptist

Pentecostal...dont judge me by my beliefs i dont judge you people (not that i would) i just dont.

I was baptized in a Baptist church. But dont follow any of that stuff. The only reason I got baptized (at 13-14yrs old) was becuase this church had a carnival....so my parents said sure you never been baptized. Im suprised the water didnt boil as soon as I touched it. LOL

KARMA is my only god, and thats what I live by. Of course I swear at god, and blame him for things... But I do what I want in return......good things.

baptism is a what we do as a decoration of faith after you get saved and obedience to God you don't do it because your parents told you to

hahahaha. If you're looking for a boredom buster, a baptist church may not be for you.

Denominations are stupid. Everyone's divided over their small differences in their interpretations. Jesus Christ wanted independent followers of his teachings not people who separate themselves.

All Christians that are not Catholic are protestant.

Protestant-A Christian religion that rejects(protests hence the name) the Catholic view.

serious?

Protestants were created when a guy named Martin Luther who did not like the catholic church (because they were too corrupt)and posted something about it at the local cathedral, then the Holy ROman Empires king picked it up, called it Protestantism and now doesnt have to pay the church any of his money! Thats the only reason why this religion wasnt squashed was because countries and kings moved to it to save 10% of their treasuries. Martin Luther surely would have been killed had someone not hidden him away for a long period of time, and their would be no protestantism. The roots of Protestanism is capitalism. So they had no worshipping differences, just a new church.

because this is the Christian skateboarders section, and those are all Christian denominations. last time i checked Islam did not apply, but correct me if I'm wrong.

they believe in the same God as us

All Christians that are not Catholic are protestant.

Wrong!

I'm Orthodox Christian (Russian in my case), which is not Catholicism, yet is not Protestant in the least.

Catholicism broke off of Orthodoxy :tongue:

I'm pentecostal and proud.

I'm a non-denomination Christian.

they believe in the same God as us

This is a common misconception. Allah is not the Christian God in any way. The Christian God is a triune God (father, son, holy spirit), but the Koran states that God cannot have a son. Once you take away the triune personality of God, you are talking about something completely different.

There are other deeper reasons, but that is the easiest way to put it.

I really hate the idea of different "denominations". Aren't we all on the same side? Don't we all believe Christ died for our sins? Why should we be separated like this?

Im a jenawick post presbyterian methodologist of the pure bred anomolical ipskliptical paralusionists line of religion. Yeah, its pretty high class
