3. What denomination are you? What are your beliefs on denominations in the church?

Based on the churches and youth groups I attend most often, I could be considered either Baptist, Methodist, or (in the past) Presbyterian. But I like to think I’m nondenominational. Or multidenominational.

I believe the different denominations each have their own strengths and weaknesses. They each have their own beliefs that match up with different parts of the Bible: baptism by sprinkling (as sacrifices were made with the sprinkling of blood) or by being fully submerged in water (as a symbolism of our burial and resurrection with Christ), baptism as a baby (as a baby being circumcised and committed to God) or after repentance (as was preached by John the Baptist), etc. But they also have their faults. I don’t think any one denomination is more right than the other; I believe all denominations, with all their strengths combined, make up the church: the body of Christ. So if you find a church that preaches according to the gospel you believe, stick with it, no matter what denomination it is. But what’s important is that you know what the gospel says, and that you know what you believe so that you can argue for or against your beliefs when they are opposed. No denomination should consider itself better than another; the different denominations exist to bring the Word to all people by providing different interpretations of the parts of the Bible that don’t directly interfere with the preaching of the gospel.
