Ollie - I read you and understand fully, and as I said, I agree. (But I won't change a word of my post.)  Changing is not necessary. Your post is ok for me as is. I understand your thoughts and have compassion for them. I will not tune someone out or ignore them or not fellowship with them because they personally identify with Baptists or with Catholics. I don't introduce myself as anything but a Christian, but if someone else does I won't condemn them (not that you have - I've never read anything you've written that condemns anyone). I understand this also. All who have this gift of faith in God's Son through the gift of God's grace shall be saved, but not as a denominated what have you, but as a Christian. However, I don't believe "one church" will be truly "one church" until we are living in His theocracy. The Bible teaches the unity of the church is in existence and the way to this unity is simply revealed in the scriptures. We always have man in His own thoughts thinking he has a better way to it than God. (Which can't be too soon for me!) Jesus is ruling now. He has all power and authority now. However it can't be too soon until He comes for us and we shall be as He is. Ollie |

Ollie - I'd give you a flower, but I don't know where you live. That's okay - the only flower I can afford is a dandylion. (But they sure are purdy!) Yours in Jesus! JN

I come from an Anglican background.
But I do not identify as Christian any longer.

Sure.
It's unfortunate that you care so little about yourself that you can't understand that others care about you. Even more saddening is that you don't understand how much Christ loves you. |

I think that you and Ollie are both singing the same tune, just on a different key. I always was tone deaf... I can't even carry a harmonica in my pocket. (Carry a tune - get it?)  The reason everyone at the church I attend worships so loudly is to drown me out... Oh, dear! There have been several complaints in our church about the loud music. So this is the reason for it?? (Will they turn the volume down if I promise to sit quietly?) |

Most of the various churches I've attended have been Pentecostal or very similar. I've also visited a Baptist church a few times. I guess I would call myself Pentecostal, but most importantly I want to be a true believer. If my 'denomination' started teaching things that are obviously incorrect, I would follow the doctrines of God rather than the doctrines of men. I hold myself accountable to God's Word, not the bylaws and teachings of some church.
