I am attending Fellowship Bible Church and am getting baptized on 7/29. =)

 

[Episkopos]

Naming a church is to denominate it. We are just known as the brothers in whatever area we are in.

 

[Foreigner]

Episkopos obviously attends The First United Church of Buzz Kill.

Love the date you are getting baptized Maureen.

It was very early in the morning on 7/29/80 that I gave my life to Christ.

[neophyte]

I am a member of Christ's Apostolic/Catholic Church , that Church is mentioned in Matthew 18: 15-18; sorry to read where you all belong to some later man or woman's church.

So does neo...

"Come and See Bible Church" for me.

And get over yourselves everyone... you do more to damage the reputation of Christ than Satan ever could.

 

[Maureen92]

Congrats Foreigner. July 29 is a good date.

our church doesnt have a name, cause Christ never gave it one, He just said one day He going to come back for Her for She is His bride and He will purify Her. And no its not called the catholic church which is not mentioned in the bible.

In all His most glorious love

...or street or house... We have no affiliation whatsoever with the artificial unity group called "the local church". They have turned a biblical idea into a man made dogma.

 

[HammerStone]

New Hope Church.

We are, loosely, affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, but we choose to do it because of the autonomy where we can just be a local church.

Grace Community Church...Great place with the truth preached according to the word of God.....Love my church

We rotate from house to house, weekly. Sometimes its Bobby's house, or Mark's house or Srini's house, etc, etc.

We are not incorporated 501c-3 organizations under the United States IRS tax rules so that we get out of paying taxes. We have no such "marriage" with the State. You become a agent of the State when you take anything from them (sign agreements with them). Did you know that? That is why the State can and does threaten to yank a "church's" tax exemption if they talk about the things that the State does not want you talking about. We have no desire to register with the State. Soon, laws will be passed that you cannot discriminate against people and if you are an agent of the State (501c-3 org) you will have to abide by these laws or have your tax-exemption yanked. Mammon folks! The worldly church will not admit it, but it is all about mammon.

Exactly like us!!!

I attend Epworth Chapel on the Green (Boise, Idaho). It is a combination church Anglican and Nazarene (governed by both denominations). I see denominations as families within Jesus kingdom, groups working together to do good in his name.

 

[Trekson]

I don't attend a church in a building, so my church is called, The Body of Christ!

Hi! 'Episkopos'
I half grinned reading about your preference to be recognized as attending a "local church".
The concept of this phrase had large import during the times when the writings of Watchman Nee and those similar were being introduced; perhaps as early as the early 70's.
When I was Managing Editor of a Christian Magazine, we found ourselves wrestling with this name formula for months.
Some were arguing that the magazine be direct and unforgiving with it's posture and plainly state the denominational separations as being "true" and/or "false".
But we concluded that this might be excessively divisive and accusatory.
In the end, we decided to formulate it as "cultural church" and "faithful church".

So, 'Episkopos', I like to believe that I don't belong to a so-called 'local church'. Rather, I belong to the 'faithful church'.
