I'm what my friends and family jokingly call a "bapticostal". XD It's because though I attend a Pentecostal church, I am part of a bible study/youth group in a Baptist church. It's awesome.

I'm an Alegheny Wesleyan Methodist. You've probably never heard of it. Its only about 100 churches. My dad actually pastors one.

I'm Southern Baptist. Our church is one of those mega churches with this giant building and over 3000 people, but some of them probably only go to this particular church because it's the most prominent church in the area.

Im non denominational, its funny people get confused. Im not trying to criticize anyone but, i believe that religions interfere with our personal relationship with god. Because religions are manmade things people get confused and worship the religion instead of god.

James 1:26-27 (King James Version)
26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Our family and I are Reformed Evangelicals. We have deep beliefs and ideas from the Reformed Faith, but are also Evangelicals for being as welcome and God-loving to others as possible.

I'm Holiness but my family and I work at a Bible Methodist mission.
I know Holiness people are looked down at a lot but I believe that anyone who has been saved by the blood of Jesus is a Christian. No matter what denomination you are.

It's also almost identical to Wesleyan. I go to a Nazarene church, though my beliefs are more Wesleyan (there are only one or two small differences between the denominations).31899 wrote:To respond to MnT's unanswered question, Nazarene is a holiness denomination and very similar to the Missionary Alliance church. In Canada The Church of the Nazarene and the Missionary Alliance share a University.

I go to an Evangelical church. For all of you who say, "I don't like saying what denomination I am, 'cuz it's man made and flawed..." I think denominations are not wrong, they are just a way of a church saying what you believe in. If every Church said they were non-denominational, when you took a vacation and went to a Church on Sunday, you'd ahve a pretty hard way of figuring out what Church to go to. People have different styles of worshipping. Some people like to go to more of a libereaal church. Some people like... I can't think the name of it right now, but my point is that people have different beleifes, and a denomination is just a way of telling people what the church believes.
