I'm non-denominational myself, or as I like to call it, a "Free Christian"..

To be blunt, I don't need any organised religion because Jesus said - "You have one teacher, me "-Matthew 23:10
i suggest you read the verse in Context before and after verses . and also its wider context . Because surly the holy ghost is also a faithful master and teacher and never would teach different than Jesus and what About faithful pastors of Gods word.and what about your self when you teach a little one about their only savior Jesus from sin.what the verse is saying is we must teach what Jesus taught and nothing less or more.it is also not saying our kids cant go to school and learn arithmatic or proper englsih from their teachers .but it is saying if they teach contrary to Gods word don't listen to them where they do.a example would be a teacher saying evolution is true not creation by a God that is Almighty.now lets look at the part about call no one on earth your Father.Have you not read the command by God himself to honor ones father and mother?thats why we look also at the wider context of a verse to shed light on what Jesus means.dO you understand Jesus here is reminding us of the first commandmentand is not saying we can't call our EARTHY male parent Father.after all even God calls a earthly parent ourr father in the command to honor them.

now i truly feel very sorry for you Non denominational people. if you don't know what pot luck is?I am quite sure even Jesus was very found of it.lutheran's especially are.And the baptist seem to be also.its a wonderful meal in which each family brings somthing good to eat and we all share every thing in great Christian fellowship fashion.now you non denominational people just may have had something simularbut that would again be kinda cheating since denominations once again did it first.I think the denomiation Jesus was from was the jewish denomiation .i think i remember reading luthers writting on Jesus was a jew.i dont think any where i read was it ever said that Jesus was non denominational . He was a Jew and he did Jewish religious traditional things .AND one of them Jewish things i would think was enjoying pot luck with his believers .Gods blessings
You could have just said lunch!Anyway, I am just a follower of christ, exactly what my name say's. A servant of the lord. I don't need to be part of a certain group to worship my God. And I would appreciate you not patronizing me or the other non-denominational people on here because we have chosen not to fall in line and be exactly like you. I'm a CHRISTIAN not a catholic, baptist, lutheran, episcopalian, etc. just a christian.

Ok I can tell by the first part of your post that you obviously don't know what the word patronizing means. Basically your being very condescending and purposefully rude. I don't appreciate you telling me that your a better christian than me because your Lutheran and I'm not. And I don't see what the point of this topic is anymore. At first it appeared to be common and genuine interest. Now it looks like you are just using this as a chance to insult people.

Well you seemed more than happy to point out what you believe to be wrong with being non-denominational. And it appeared you were saying it in a condescending manner but as you know we cannot hear the tone or see the expressions when things are said. So if it was not in this manner than I take no offense

i asked what it was you believed.I knew ahead of time you couldnt answer it.saying ones beliefs are the bible teachings .that sounds really fine . But any christian religion could say that .but when one asks what are these bible beliefs of yours ?some MUST react as you do BECAUSE there now caught.exposed for what they are .they have no origina! purly a non denominational way to do it. they must also realy on those who went before them who came from denomination'sor started them.Even to say Jesus he is my personal savior. has already been expressed many times by some one of a denomination.

but when one asks what are these bible beliefs of yours ?some MUST react as you do BECAUSE there now caught.exposed for what they are .
I would be careful calling someone false there bud..............
saying ones beliefs are the bible teachings .that sounds really fine . But any christian religion could say that
.Bud can you?
they must also realy on those who went before them who came from denomination'sor started them.
How do you think Christianity started? On a Mickey Mouse TV show? No. Hate to tell you this Bud your faith had to be based on another religion as well?
they have no origina! purly a non denominational way to do it.
Thats correct Bud they don't. Non denominational churches take from various religions and use certain parts of that faith.Some churches use none at all.
Even to say Jesus he is my personal savior. has already been expressed many times by some one of a denomination.
Well then Bud why say it? Do you say it? Saying its a waste of time? Creed(Credal) statement of confession or belief.There are five main tenets called Solas.ChristusScripturafideGratisdeo gloriaTwo CreedsNiceneApostlesDe Facto: "in fact" or :in practice" but not spelled out by law. No relevant law or standard but a common practice well established, though not universal.Want more? Belief is all in what you make it. Not about what Bud thinks or anyone else thinks. What do I believe? Nothing. Simple as that. Nothing I hear and very little I see. Non denominational for me is a way of breaking free from the pathetic path of the so called Christian right or left. I do not share their views and I do not share the views of many other denominations as well. So what all this amounts to is a simple thing called "I don't care" its all a question of mind over matter, I don't mind cause it don't matter.........I could sit here till the cows come home and present a list of views and beliefs but what good would it do. Just be a target for someone here to take pot shots at......

You asked why I was non-denominational and I told you. I didn't ask your opinion of it. I'm done talking about this since you are so bent on just telling me I am wrong.Oh and as for your last sentence, don't feel sorry for me. I feel sorry for you, you have some need to point out faults in others. As Jesus said, pull the plank out of your own eye before you try and take the plank out of your brothers.I see nothing wrong with belonging to a denomination, I just choose not to. Its my choice, as it is yours. We can leave it at that. No need for a who's right attitude.

Amen! I am with you on that one. Done talking.
