I guess if you are grounded in his word and have developed that special relationship with Him, nothing should change no matter where you go.OmoDoyinLolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016656621726236358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278264361656062882.post-518912680401434582012-03-20T21:26:53.973-05:002012-03-20T21:26:53.973-05:00My parents are Baptist...so I guess I'm Baptis...My parents are Baptist...so I guess I'm Baptist *shrug*<br /><br />....But, I've come to realize that, for me, being part of a denomination does not matter. I love my parents' church but I don't feel as if I get what I need from there. The church consists mostly of elderly individuals. Most of them were born and raised in that church so they are stuck in their ways. In my perspective, they do not do enough to bring more people, especially the younger crowd, to the church. The new Pastor is working very hard to change that, and I think it's working. I think that people are stuck in the "denomination label", partly because their parents parents were raised that way. It's so easy to stick to that tradition especially when you have not allowed yourself to experience other "denominations". <br /><br />On that note, I would consider myself non-denominational. I love being able to freely praise and pray to God however I want (depending on what denomination you are, you may have to follow specific rules of what to do/not to do in church). I feel that I have grown spiritually because I have reached out to other places of worships that have encouraged free worship. I think that we sometimes get caught up in the routine of things that we forget the real reason to worship.<br /><br />I have to add that I am not downing the Baptist denomination in any way. I enjoyed growing up in that denomination especially in Nigeria. As kids, we didn't know the difference. It was all about going to church with our Bibles and learning lots of memory verses.OmoDoyinLolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016656621726236358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278264361656062882.post-35132644932551363782012-03-20T17:23:21.146-05:002012-03-20T17:23:21.146-05:00Sooo... i just decided to do a little research on ...Sooo... i just decided to do a little research on the different groups and denominations and it turns out that there are so many divisions. I started researching one and ended up looking at tidbits of a bunch. It seems like its good to know as much as possible but my goodness where does it end?! O_o Don't groups and denominations create division? Isn't there only one real truth? Isn't "truth" relative to what God has for your personal life? Somebody help!!!ChiPoetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340732639172953842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278264361656062882.post-4908892373814480262012-03-20T12:24:39.699-05:002012-03-20T12:24:39.699-05:00Very interesting article.

By the time u figure out stuff 4 each denomination Christ might have come back lol. I go 2 many different types of churches but that doesn't mean I subscribe 2 everything within that denomination. My denomination IS the Bible!ChiPoetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340732639172953842noreply@blogger.com
