1 | Non-denominational theology? | John 3:16 | ICQ-GOD | 92548 | ||
Justme, I can't speak from your experience but I can from mine.First of all let me say that I have been an avid student of God's Word since I was saved 33 years ago; so my foundation is pretty solid.I have been attending non-denom. churches for several years and have found nothing like what you mentioned(required tithing, etc.)I'm not saying that they don't exist but I havn't run across them.In fact the churches I've attended have been about as theologically square as can be found.I am not opposed to attending a main-line church if they meet my spiritual needs through the word and worship and evangelization.I have found that many non-denom. churches were once Baptist,Methodist and the like, who broke away from their denomination because they were too liberal. When you've got the Episcopalians ordaining gay men as bishops and other churches who can't seem to interpret the Bible correctly anymore, you can understand my point.So until I find a main-line church that exceeds what I find in the non-denom. churches, I for one, will stick with them.They arn't perfect but they are the best I have found. | ||||||

To Justme: I found out pretty quickly after registering as a new user to look at the date of the original posting. I had already sent my response before noticing the date. Regarding Calvary Chapel, you are probable right. Many non-denom. churches start mini-denominations as a way of connecting and being accountable to the Body; which is a good thing. Thanks for your response. |

4 | know loved ones when I get to Heaven | 1 Cor 13:12 | ICQ-GOD | 92482 | ||
The Bible is silent on this subject so there is no way to know for sure. We can catch a glimpse of the type of relationship that husbands and wives will have in heaven in Matt.22:23-30.Many people have the opinion that they will spend eternity with their wife or husband. Since their is no marrying or giving in marriage in heaven we will not walk heaven's streets hand in hand with an earthly spouse.It's possible we might be able to recognize them but we won't have any more relationship with them than with a christian from China whom we have never met on this side. It's amazing to me how some people long to spend eternity with their loved ones when the most beloved face in heaven will have nail-scarred hands.I'm OK with my loved ones but it's Jesus who I want to see and hang out with. No one's ever loved me like him. |

6 | Non-denominational theology? | John 3:16 | ICQ-GOD | 92479 | ||
Non-denominational simply means that your church is not affliated with any of the traditional denominational churches,e.g. - Methodist, Baptist, Church of Christ,etc. Churches which claim to be non-denominational are generally evangelistic and often charasmatic in nature.They believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, inerrant and infallible and the only trustworthy source for truth and guidance in this life.Most believe in a second (post-salvation) blessing called the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.There is a general acceptance that the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit as listed in 1Cor.12 are for believers today and should be encouraged. Many will practice the gift of tongues, both in their private and corporate worship.Non-denom. churches represent the fastest growing type of church (within Christianity)in the U.S. and possibly the world This is just a start |
