100 Questions for Lutherans

[Erasmus]

In my early days as a Christian, I attended a number of different churches and denominations looking
for a home. Even Roman Catholic ones! I found Anglican and Lutheran churches to be much like the RCC.

So which would you recommend I go to? Catholic, Lutheran, or Anglican?

 

[GRACE_ambassador]

I want to skip the nonsense you did and land at the Church I should be at on the first go. If you disagree with denominations that's fine, just advocate Non-denominationalism.

Precious friend, A Very Warm Welcome to Chat.

IF the non-dem's have a "water rite" then how would they
be different from the denom's that have the same Confusion?

IF I was looking/needing a (1) GRACE Through faith? Yes? ))
"church" to attend, then I would ask:

2) Do you water baptize? No? then:

3) Do you believe "the law" is fulfilled In ONE Word?

4) Do you, and can you, explain "how" to Rightly
Divide God's Word Of Truth?

So which would you recommend I go to? Catholic, Lutheran, or Anglican?

I would not recommend any of those three, least of all RCC. Do you know why?

But home is where the heart is, as they say. I hope you can find a church home.

I did not realize you were new to CC. Welcome!!!

Welcome!

I have confusion just talking to you. Why do you disagree with me when it seems we agree? It seems you are just angry that I even consider a church that you don't like for whatever reason. Unless you are advocating me not attending a church? In that case I must cease communication immediately.

Welcome!

Thank you for welcoming me. I would say I don't know why you wouldn't recommend for me to go to any of those churches. Should I attend a church? If yes, which kinds are okay and which kinds are not?

 

[Dino246]

Non-denominational you mean?

No, I mean Christian, as in believer in Jesus Christ. There is little point in "converting" if you aren't becoming a Christian.

If you're already a Christian, then hopefully you already understand what I'm saying.

No. I live in the state of Texas currently.

What city ....I have connections throughout Texas ...maybe I can help

Well I would say that not all denominations are equal. What should you do if your in a bad church? It seems like you're denouncing exactly what you have done yourself. You talk about being Catholic then Non-denominational. Pentecostal, Baptist, Messianic. I'm trying to find out which church I should attend and what I should call myself. I want to find out which denominations are valid or satanic. Before you jump at me and disagree why don't you try thinking about what I'm saying? You might find you actually agree with me. I don't have the time to just jump between church and church and satanists pretending to be Christians. I want to skip the nonsense you did and land at the Church I should be at on the first go. If you disagree with denominations that's fine, just advocate Non-denominationalism. It seems that you would be a hypocrite on this matter however since you claim to have attended a variety of denominational churches that all have different beliefs on things.

Read the Gospel of John and seek, with all your heart, the Promise of the Father which is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Attend a denomination that embraces the Full Gospel of God which firmly believes in what I just told you.
If they do not believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, they are not preaching the Full Gospel of God.
If you are unsure, review the churches belief statement.

Read the Gospel of John chapters 1-3 and Acts chapter 1 & 2 immediately.

Call yourself a sinner in need of a Savior and His Holy Spirit.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes.
You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
John chapter 3

 

[Pilgrimshope]

No interpretation needed just the Word.
Can you find anyplace in Christ, in the Scripture, that the Lord establishes for us a 'denomination' to follow?

I have attended many different denominations throughout my walk with the Lord.
Raised in a Catholic family, then separated unto God thru the Gospel by attending a non-denominational home church.
After that attended another non-denominational church (with differing beliefs) and then unto a Pentecostal church, then to a Baptist church, then to a 'Word of Life' = name it and claim it church', then to a Messianic church, then to another Messianic church that was going backwards to the Law, then to 'Word of Life Bible Institute in NY, then to a Calvary Baptist and some more.

Here is what I find/found in Scripture and in those many different denominations:
A.) Either you believe God at His Word or you don't or you are unsure what to believe
B.) Either you are Born-Again by the Spirit or you are not
C.) You can be saved and love God no matter what the denomination
D.) You can be mislead in all the denominations including non-denominations
E.) The Word of God is the only Truth
F.) The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is your only Truth to fully knowing Truth
G.) When all else fails, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ never fails
H.) Pray for each other, forgive each other and love each other as Christ loves you

yeah denominations were never designed by Christ , it came later when men started insisting their particular interpretation was the only right one and created divisions within the one church.

there have been wars fought over which interpretation and denomination was correct but the whole time personal interpretation isn’t a design of God nor are denominations

 

[Erasmus]

What city ....I have connections throughout Texas ...maybe I can help

I cannot give even the name of my city. I'm concerned certain atheists might like to find me and kill me because of my YouTube channel. I think you don't understand what I am saying. If you just call yourself Christian and are against being in a denomination then you are Non-denominational. You can not avoid either of these. Stop playing word games and make your position clear.

Okay.

 

[Erasmus]

I still can't believe everyone here is saying the same thing over and over again.

 

[DavidTree]

Okay.

Talk with member Pilgrimshope who has the Spirit of the Living God inside him.

And I am here for you as well.

 

[Pilgrimshope]

I was getting at it but he only wants Lutherans to participate so I will respect that. It seems he’s wondering if Lutheran is the “right denomination “

peace and love dear brother good to see your posts showing up again

It is called the LOVE of Christ in our hearts for you.

Seems like you are the only one who gets the idea. Thank you for your respect friend.

 

[Erasmus]

But I don't have it, right? You believe I don't have love in my heart and haven't been healed by Jesus Christ?

 

[Pilgrimshope]

your welcome I hope you find the answers your seeking

I do not know you, and it is obvious that God has guided you here so that you can hear the Word of Truth.
If you are near Denville, NJ we can meet up anytime to share and pray and good coffee/tea or other.

Christians here are telling you the same thing because the Spirit of Truth is in them.

No judging upon you - but we just met and we know very little and only what you share with us.

May the Peace of Christ be upon and Bless you and may HE cause His Face to shine upon you.
