Denominations





Up until recently I have never noticed just how many different denominations there are just within Christianity. You would think that self-professing Christians would have realized that we need to all be together as one body and not separated by varying doctrines. I believe that I have spoken about this topic before, but it still baffles me as why we STILL separate ourselves as Christians.


I think that now these varying doctrines have been so engrained in many people’s lives that it’s hard for them to see what is in front of them…what God’s word actually says rather than just the interpretation of what man thinks it says.


There key things that should be a deal breaker when thinking about what type of church to go to, consider the following reasons for going to the church:


They….


Follow scripture (God’s Word)


Believe in the New Testament.


Have the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. (Scriptural)


Believe in the leading of the Spirit through His body, not just through the pastor/priest/etc…


Believe in a personal relationship with Christ.


Believe that people can hear and talk to God.


Exemplify the love of Christ.


Express the fruits and the gifts of the spirit.


Have authority through Christ.

Believe in Healing.

Believe in deliverance from foul spirits.




Use your best judgment and seek His face first. Prayer will help you make the decision.


We shouldn’t have to choose between several different doctrines within our own faith! 

There should not be any denominations that separate the body of Christ, there should not be arguments as what parts of the bible should we embrace!


We are His body and we must get in line with HIS word and not with our own man made ideas.
