I have a crazy friend that's reeeaaal country! He was "reading" a crossing- the-street sign that said,"Pedestrian Crossing" and he said,"Oh, well I can't cross here 'cuz I ain't no Presbyterian!" He really cracks me up! Anyway, it's a shame that the church the disciples/apostles started can't be more unified. They were so close in the book of Acts. It was first called the church in Antioch, so I don't know why anyone would think it had anything to do with the Catholic Church (no harm intended). However, the name "Christian" means "little Christ", so how some of the religions mentioned could even be categorized as such is beyond me. Jesus' very own words in John 14 are,"I am the way, the truth, and the life." That leaves no room for accepting any of the other teachings from any "religion" that does not absolutely 100% accept that He is God and He is our Savior and Lord. I do think we tend be drawn toward the church we feel the most comfortable in as far as doctrine and worship. I have tried several kinds of denominations, searching for truth. I have been so disappointed in some churches who make it so much about works that I wonder if they can even see the cross! I have had bad experiences with the speaking in tongues thing, even though I believe it is a gift. I don't think it should be forced upon anyone as an evidence of salvation. The comment was made that Baptists focus on baptism. I think that's funny, because that is such a small part of what we focus on. I don't agree with all Baptist doctrine, but I think most of it lines up with God's Word. Our church teaches a little "out of the box" as compared to most Baptist churches. We raise our hands, clap to the Lord, and shout to the Lord. We do teach that tongues is a gift. We accept that David danced before the Lord because it's Biblical. We really try to go by what the Word says. I like that. Where we differ from some denominations is that we believe once you're saved, it's for always. How can you be born again yet lose your salvation? Why would the Lord say to the goats, "Depart from me, for I NEVER knew you", if you were saved, then lost again. Just something to think on.
