A while ago I thought about all the different types of teachings all with in the Christian church.Once in a while this thought pops in to my head...It makes it even more obvious as to why many people can't choose a religion let alone choosing to be a Christian.
It makes it difficult for others to know what specific teaching they should follow.Of course we can say only go to churches that follow scripture..but that isn't helpful because there those who follow scripture to the "T",meaning they take every single word literally and try to live in the exact same manner as those who lived in biblical times,which is layered with laws that every member has to follow.Then there are other churches that twist scripture to fit their lifestyles,such as churches that are head by "out" homosexuals...yes,there are and have been closeted homosexual pastors out there that are married and speak out against homosexuality,but even that it is not right.
There are churches,like Spoken Word,that does not believe in rigid tradition and is word based and operates in the gifts of the spirit.
It's up to each person to choose where they want to go.But it is necessary to let the holy Spirit tell you where you need to be,if for a season or permanently.It's harder for those who don't even believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit....
