I am Christian. We attend a nondenominational church. We believe in the "old-time religion". We believe in the gift of speaking in tongues but not that speaking in tongues means that one is saved. We believe in healing and the laying on of hands. We believe Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.We believe in salvation through Jesus Christ alone through what He done at calvary.

Well, no one's mentioned CHRISTIAN SCIENCE! That was my upbringing with a faulty version of "truth". Look it up sometime. It's one of those really funky "religions". I can't even think of it as such b/c it denies the central gospel that most "religions" hold dear and common. Fortunately, I had other people in our family who took it upon themselves to share their faith in love and action through their own real faith. I came to a trusting relationship with the Lord soon after I was married. I now go to a Bible teaching church and love it! God's word is truth and I now can distiguish man-made religion from the Word! Being a Christian
is so liberating and wonderful!! I still pray for my CScience family every day in hope they will come to know the truth someday!!

If someone asks me what I am I say Christian. These denominations are just names we come up with ourselves that do nothing but create a division in the body of Christ.( Im not saying that at any particular person; just saying it in general)

I was raised, Fundemental Independent Baptist( will never go to one of these churches ever again)

My husband was raised Catholic, but we go to a Presbyterian church. I find that it fits more of how we both believe. I have left the Baptist church and my husband has left the Catholic church. So, we really enjoy that it is a blend we love.

Raised Church of Christ and still attend.

DH--
His mom was Baptist, his Dad's family Church of Christ. He went to Baptist church during his 20s, then switched to Church of Christ, where we met.

Well, I am now of the Christian faith. I was raised Assembly of God. I was saved at a Revival meeting in my home church around the age of 13. But I drifted away from my faith during my late teens and early twenties.

In my mid-twenties I rededicated my life to the Lord Jesus because of a sermon I heard on tv. At that time, I converted to Word of Faith, and the Faith movement. However, I don't go to a WOF church because there isn't one close to my home.

Over the years we have moved around quite a bit, so it has been difficult to get plugged into a local church. And I cannot find a WOF church close enough in proximity, so I go to church with my son at his AG church. And I attend a Baptist church with a friend of mine. My son goes to three diff. churches: the AG church, and 2 Baptist churches with his friends - whenever one church doesn't have a service, he goes to the other church that does.

My dh became born again when he was about 25 years old. He attended several churches with me trying to find one that we liked. But again, we moved around a lot, and now he doesn't go at all because he cannot find one that he agrees completely with the doctrine (he is WOF also).

HTH!

Raised: Secular, no faith. Went to Baptist and Methodist Churches with my neighbors periodically.

Husband: Raised Independent, Bible preaching,Bible believing, KJV Baptist

Now: Independent, Bible preaching, Bible believing, KJV Baptist. My entire family was saved because my husband led me to the Lord when we were dating.

I was raised Christian. But we did not go to church or study the word. I was raised with my mom and grandparents. my grandfather had problems with the church. We would go special events, Christmas, Easter, ect.

My husband was not raised in a church or any kind of religion.
I am not sure what we are now. We go back and forth between being Christain and not.

We were going to Calvery Bapist Church. You are not aloud to be in chorus or awana or anything else that deals with the church without being a member. We have not tried any other churchs because my huband does not want too.

So I guess we are lost,

Just wanted to mention, 'cause a couple people have said 'there is no mention of denominations' in the Bible . . actually there is.

The most obvious being John the Baptist. The Baptist church did not come from the Protestant movement like many other faiths, but can be traced all the way back to the days of Jesus (and John the Baptist). Another good example is just like us today (with people following different beliefs) but with different names (again, like us today) where Paul is telling them that they (we) were to be followers of Jesus Christ (not of Paul, or Cephas, or Appolos) Oddly enough, Followers of Paul still exist today. My sister goes to one of their churches. They don't believe the Old Testament is for us today at all, in anyway, and only read the books Paul wrote in the New Testament. All that just to state, they're in there, just under a different name:)
