1. Biblical authority: Scripture is the ultimate guide for faith and practice.
2. Autonomy of the local church: Each church is self-governing and independent.
3. Priesthood of all believers: Every Christian has direct access to God without mediation.
4. Two ordinances: They practice believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Sup…

Pictures aren’t working for some reason. When I try to post one, I just get a bunch of words.

Sorry if that came off as rude at all… I’ve always had that thought in the back of my mind whenever someone says something similar. I’m sure you have nice leaders who care about what they’re doing <3

@freed_and_redeemed

This past Sunday, we didn’t even have a sermon because our pastor felt God lead him to not do so even though he wanted to preach so bad!

What did you do then?? 🤣 Not to be that terrible person, but maybe he forgot his sermon notes…? Or was tired?

That probably sounds so rude of me since I don’t know him 😅

Thanks y’all! I’m feeling okayish enough to read these posts, at least.

@thearcaneaxiom

I’ve seen mostly non-denoms and Pentecostals… but I haven’t asked a lot of people. I know @godlyfantasy12 has some interesting Pentecostal views but I don’t think she would want a conversation about it.

we’re independent, and that means our beliefs are p…

We believe baptism is not necessary for salvation and life in heaven, though obviously you should be baptized if at all possible. Some infants, such as those miscarried before birth, will not be able to be baptized. They will still go to heaven. I will need to ask my dad for the rest of his reasons and we have a book in our church…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

We don’t have special things we do during service, other than communion that we have on occasion, sermons, worship, etc.

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

We do instruments, we do singing, we believe in speaking in t…

@whalekeeper

☹️ Hope you feel better! I tend to stay up way too late when I’m sick too, but I’ve never stayed up all night before. I am both horrified and impressed.

we sing a mean acapella.

Lol. We were acapella for years, but now we have a flutist.

Youth group sounds fun. Our church only has three teens, two…[Read more]

I am interested in this and I was ready to talk. Alas, I caught a nasty bug ten minutes after my last comment – no joke, I felt it wash over me super quickly – and I have a tendency to stay up all night whenever I’ve caught something.

Sooo I’ve been up for more than twenty-four hours…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

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

We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

@whalekeeper

I don’t really know what a youth group is either XD. Our church only has about 52 people. My dad’s the only priest, but we also have a deacon. Our deacon reads a historic sermon about once a month to give my dad a break from preaching. My dad records his sermons so my siblings and I always ask how long the sermon was at the peace.…[Read more]

@theducktator

Yeah, I hear that term a lot too… I think it means the leader of the youth group? Although I wouldn’t call our leader a pastor, by any means. He never had to study for it.

My dad is the only pastor, besides a couple retired guys who fill in now and then. What about your church?

@anyoneandeveryoneunderthesun

Oh my laaaand y’all, I forgot.

Does anyone want to match their character with Marcel? He certainly doesn’t need a date and I can almost guarantee he will not have romantic intentions. But he’s free if anyone wants him. Especially since so many characters have been introduced in the past and most don’t have a smooth…[Read more]

Pastor kids unite! XD And what’s a Youth Pastor? I’ve heard the term, but I don’t know what it means.

@rae

XD He’s nothing if not a fair player. Let the blame go where it is due.

@theducktator

She fixed the posting problems, but I think she forgot about the pics and I’m too nervous to ask 😥

The whole lot of y’all are pastor kids, that’s awesome! Do your Dads study ancient Hebrew, modern, or both?

Whoops, forgot about this! My dad studies at least ancient Hebrew to my knowledge 🙂 Yeah, it’s awesome and… interesting XD I’ll cause trouble in my friend group and they’re like, “ain’t you the pastor kid???”

@thearcaneaxiom

I’d also like to ask, can you give me your own summary of what you believe, belonging to the Latter-Day Saints? I have a limited knowledge of what y’all believe, and I would like to hear it from your point of view.

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh, poor Felix! I hope he gets a redemption arc. Frida is awful.
