It is more normal to me, yes. (although I haven’t necessarily been “raised” in this church…only been going to it about 6-7 years now, haha) I believe in such experiences, but I can’t explain how it feels to be in that moment, honestly…words just can’t describe it. Idk.

We all have things we are or aren’t comfortable with, and…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

So your sounding more and more Pentecostal to me Freedom, would you say you identify with that at all? Pentecostals main deal is always seeking to be in attunement with the Holy Spirit, acting purely with His will, letting your own will go. Essentially if it feels right, it is right type stuff.

I honestly like Pentecostals,…[Read more]

Sorry Y’all, disappeared for a bit.

@freed_and_redeemed

Ty for understanding and for your kindness <3

I’m still here to kindly discuss things if anyone would like, just not for debate 😊

@theducktator

We believe baptism is not necessary for salvation and life in heaven, though obviously you should be baptized if at all possible. Some i…

@theducktator

Does your church believe this too, and does 5 mean that you don’t think parents will be held at all accountable for their children’s actions? I’m not trying to start a debate. I’m just curious.

You’re good, girl! I like discussions! Talking about what I believe is fun, tbh :3

Yes, we do believe in those 5 founding truths. Yes, nu…[Read more]

and not all Church doctrine is Biblically sound, either. But I’m not going to get into that.

@whalekeeper

*Assumption detector* Sorry 😅 I would like to stress real quick, belonging to a denomination doesn’t mean we believe church tradition is that important.

Plus, isn’t church doctrine an organized confession of Christian beliefs? It takes God’s word and summarizes it understandably. It’s just one way of professing and sticking to it. I’…

@whalekeeper You’re good. I understand you’re not trying to be rude <3

What did you do then?? 🤣

We stayed in a place of worship for two hours.

Yes, we sang and prayed and did worship for two hours without a sermon.

It was absolutely A M A Z I N G

y’all…like…I still don’t know what to say about it.

I felt God so close. People were…[Read more]

My grandparents (on Dad’s side) are Baptist and have been raised that way as far back as I know, and being in the South, most Christians I meet are Baptist, so I’m pretty familiar with Baptist beliefs…but I could still learn a whole lot more for sure!

@theducktator

I went to a church at a camp recently that I think was Non-Denominational. It was fun, but I was kind of confused by the lack of structure. XD

Understandable. Non-Denominational churches tend to be more lenient on how we do things, haha. This past Sunday, we didn’t even have a sermon because our pastor felt God lead him to not do so…[Read more]

@theducktator

Oh, I forgot the Anglicans! Sorry😅 I know a few Episcopos that are pretty cool. Yeah, I’ve found Anglicans interesting because they’re a unique combination of Protestant and Catholic.

My dad says Non-Denominationals are essentially Baptists by another name. XD

That’s how I’ve always understood them yeah. They just have a specific…[Read more]

it’s also interesting with my church though, because we’re renting it, basically.

The church building actually belongs to a Messianic Jewish church who use it on Saturday morning, we use it on Sunday Morning, and an African Pentecostal Church uses it on Sunday afternoons.

So it’s really interesting/fun to see all of us using the same building <3

@thearcaneaxiom Ty for understanding and for your kindness <3

@theducktator Youth Group can be fun for sure! I have also gone to a more local church’s youth group (my actual church is 1 hour away from us, and we tend to have to be there at 9 AM on Sundays for…[Read more]

what I said above is my church specifically, btw

@theducktator I have never met an Anglican; that’s actually really cool!

Wellll, ok, it really depends on the Non-Denominational church.

I would say the church I attend is probably closer to Baptist, but there are also many variations of Baptist churches.

Simply put, a Non-Denominational church is a church that doesn’t belong to a specific…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I would agree with you on the point of baptism. All of the examples of baptism I can think of in the Bible are adults who have chosen to believe in the Messiah.

After some prayer and some reflection, I kindly request that we leave this debate where it stands.

I’ve been thinking on it too much, and truthfully g…

@trailblazer @whalekeeper @theducktator

Trailblazer is 100% right about what she said about Youth (although my church’s youth group is comprised of, like, maybe 6 kids on a regular basis??? And three of those are me and my siblings😅)

I am curious like Trailblazer, tbh! What kind of churches do y’all belong to? (and Trailblazer, too, what about…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

After some prayer and some reflection, I kindly request that we leave this debate where it stands.

I’ve been thinking on it too much, and truthfully gives me an ounce of stress I don’t need right now.

It’s also obvious that neither of us are going to change our stance, and KP isn’t the place to debate theology (in my opinion)…[Read more]

@theducktator

The Church of Latter Day Saints is the official name for Mormons, right?

That is correct. We don’t really like the nickname though, because it takes away the focus from Christ. Mormon we respect as a great prophet who compiled the plates, but this is the Lord’s church, not his.

So, does the third mean you do not agree with infant…

@whalekeeper

Ey, I can say something in a round-about way, and it can still be completely logical. But that’s beside the point. I can’t see how any of those “contradictions,” as you put it, discard the infallibility of those passages’ meanings. If the different disciples wrote Jesus’ words with slightly different grammar, that is a matter of m…
