I know that there are official figures that say which is the largest denomination but I just wanted to hear from people on fanpop about it

representin'.

:)

Anglican is Church of England...isn't it?

i was brought up church of england now i go to an evangelical church and i'm experiencing something different

I follow Roman Catholicism, to be specific.

i'm just a christian. i think people get too caught up in religions and denominations and practices they have to follow. i'm just a christian who loves God and follows His Word. i focus on relationship not religion.

I agree with krys1258.......I was born a Salvationist, but I go where I can be fed God's Holy Word, whether it be the Salvation Army or a Methodist church, or whatever.
I focus, too, on the Gospel instead of a religion. Forget that 'religion' label, just follow God & His Son Jesus Christ!

Funny how many Catholics are fans of Christianity isn't it?

Catholicism is a part of Christianity. Most people get it confused and they think Catholicism is a seperate religion.

No offence, but they all sound the same to me. It's like Christians that hate Jews when Christianity is a branch of Judaism.

They are kind of the same, I just wanted to find out what type of church everyone goes to. By the way can you choose the "I am not a Christian" option, if we have two answers which are the same it doesn't give a very accurate result.

I suppose I could have picked that one but the question is 'What is your denomination?', not 'Are you a Christian?'.

Ok.

I don't know. I'm a Christian/Evangelic/Baptist or whatever you like to call it. There. Simple, loud, and clear. My sister likes this quote they used at a church and I agree, something about how it shouldn't be called a religion but something else that made much sense. As in, why classify ourselves?

Christianity isn't a branch of Judaism. There is an entire new half of the Bible, plus believing that our Savior has come are pretty big differences, don't you think?

I'm saved, period. Crucified, buried and risen with Him.

Amen to that, sneggleblech.

I'm on the fence chooseing a religion, because i would like to have one.

I guess you would call me nondenominational...at least that's what our church calls itself. I go to Living Hope Church which is a memebr of a group of churches called Sovereign Grace Ministries. Before I was a member of an Elim Fellowship church. While that church was good for a season in my life, and I still participate in the youth group there, Living Hope has really helped me strengthed my relationship with God. The sermens are powerful and tend to deal with heart issues, and during worship (which is of the contemporary variety) I often feel like it's just me and God...I'm completey free and just praising God. It's amazing...

But bak to the origonal question, I beleive that Living Hope refers to itself as nondenominational.

ninjamonkey: that's perfectly fine. I can understand that you are at a crossroads in your life,and I am willing to talk and help you out any way I can. I have to say that I am a Christian and while I resepct other religions, I do not beleive that they are the way to eternal life through Christ. If you don't mind, I will pray for you as you consider religions...this is a very big decision in someones life, and I know personally that it can be a difficult one.

while i'm no longer a Christian, i was baptized in the United Church of Canada, which is Presbyterian.

I hate the damn fucking idiot who put ATHEIST! there is a God and we need to proove it to them

^^If you hate me so much then why are you a fan of me?

Also, there's no need to insult someone with different opinions to you. Prove to me that there is a God then.

H2ORikki1 is also a hypocrite.

"hate the damn f***ing idiot who put ATHEIST!"
"Love your neighbour, and love your enemies"

Anyone notice a contradiction?

Yeah, I have a problem with someone who claims to be a Christian and yet treats another person like that.
RatDog, I hope you'll recognize that not all Christians feel the same way that H20Rikki1 does. That was out of line.
I wish I could simply prove there is a God but the truth is, believing in God is something that requires Faith. In the end, I think it is more believable that a divine being created the universe and us then it is to believe that everything just happened to come into existence.

I have met some lovely Christians on here and I know that was just one person's opinion. I'm not going to tar you all with the same brush just because someone can't be civil towards others.

I don't think I can have faith in something that never does anything for me. I know you're not supposed to expect anything from God, but I don't see the point in living a life dictated by a being you don't even know exists.

I might not be able to "prove" that God exists, using only science and history but that doesn't mean I can't KNOW he exists. I know and believe with all my heart that God exists and that he is doing things for us everyday. We might just not always recognize that God is doing things for us because we like to think that we have earned the things that we have and that they don't come from God.

I know it's tough to believe in a being that you can't see or touch. But when you look around at nature and everything around you, it seems to me that there's no way it all could have simply happened by accident. The world works WAY too smoothly to have happened by chance. There must have been a designer behind it...God.

I wouldn't agree that the world works smoothly. Just look at all the wars and problems we have in society. Not to mention nature messing up sometimes with deformities and disabilities. If God did design it all then he must also be the reason for all these problems.

The reason for nearly all the problems in the world is people. God gave us free will...it's not His fault if we act like idiots and trash the earth and start wars. As far as the nature thing goes, I believe only God has the answer to that...and that there is a reason for everything.

Anywho, I'm joining this thing late, but I agree with Krys. I'm not part of particular denomination. I just love worshiping Jesus :)

What I'm saying is that it was God's choice to give us free will, and if he is omnipotent then he knew what we would end up doing with this freedom.

What would you prefer: mindless and perfect, or free with faults?

I'd rather there was no such thing as religion and we all got along without arguing over pointless subjects :D

Maybe we could get on with the great debate: Coke or Pepsi? ;P

Coke anyday!

Grrrrr, Pepsi is by far the superior drink.....

xElvenPiratex is right. Things go wrong in this world because we choose to mess things up. We have wars, riots, political problems and more because we are humans and we fall short at times. God created us with free will because he wanted a people who would CHOOSE him. Not be forced to simply because they had no free will. Even though he knew some would continue to live in sin, God knew there would also be those who chose to follow him. Free will is a great blessing.

Which brings me to my next point, through free will I would choose Pepsi any day, unless I was in mexico because Coke is better there.

Why would He want to create us in the first place? Is it just a sick joke to Him to watch people fight others because of the free will He gave us? If He truly loved His followers, why would He want them to suffer on Earth until they finally make it to Heaven. Wouldn't it be easier to just create people already in Heaven and forgo all the crap on Earth?

I'm liking this coke/pepsi thing. I'm gonna have to go with coke.

Next Question:
McDonald's or Burger King?

Burger King

If I ever converted to Christianity, this is the denomination I would subscribe to.

Ratdog, We don't know why, but it doesn't matter, just be glad He did because now you can express how you feel and you know how it feels to live. He didn't plan things to be this way. He doesn't want us to suffer. Sometimes the suffering is what makes us realize how dumb we were, or in many cases, it's what converts us.

I agree with knifewrench. We should love our neighbour as well as our enemies as we love ourselves.

I am Christian and that is all that really matters to me...but for the sake of this question...I attend the First Presbyterian Church in my hometown.

All I know is that he saved me and thanks to him that died in the cross for me/us all my sins are forgoten and I have eternal life
AMEN! :)

Well it seems that all us penticostals don't feel like speaking up so sence im soooooo good at this (just ask my friends!) I will! I got saved when i was 6 + got baptized 1 year later! (no not only baptists get baptized!) sence then i'v lead 3 people to Crist. (one was my best friend!) somepeople think ALL penticostals worship snakes! but trust me you would would have to kill me to make me do that! I have this great CD by Emassaries that has the song on it "sick and tired" and one of the verses to it said " I'm sick and tired of arguin the presegers..." and i am! I think that all bleavers should bannd together becaus "with Crist all things are possebell!!! And i bleave that if every one hears the name of Jesus crist and understands what He did for us He will return1 all who bleave the same thing send me an "amen"!!!

I think we'd have a rather crowded page if all those agreeing said "Amen" :P

Blessed are they who DO NOT SEE but still BELIEVE

theres no way in crap im an atheist."amen."

Got a lot of stuff to say for this question...

To the person who insulted atheism: Like someone said above (too lazy to check) Love your neighbor. Let me put it this way, God hates no one, whether they believe in him or not. We are supposed to strive to be like God. Think about it.

Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi. They make Mountain Dew...

Burger King or McDonald's: Wendy's kicks both their butts.

My religion: I was raised Catholic. I converted to being a Baptist for a while, but returned to the Catholic church because I had some problems with the Baptist church I went to. Nothing against any Baptists on here, if course. I still think the Baptists are great people, but I just felt more at home in the Catholic Church. Heck, sometimes I have problems with the Catholics, too, but I get along there best. I guess, in some ways, I'm just a Non-demoninational Christian who just prefers to go to te Catholic church. I've been in a lot of other Christian churchs and can get along pretty well in all of them. But, like I said, I was raised Catholic. It's like home.

Well I'm not sure how it's called in english but I'll try to make a good traduction I think it would be something like '' Protestant Evangelical Penticost Christian'' or something like that =S!

go Mormons!!!

Born again Christin. :) since June 20,2009.

Reppin Methodists.

Why would an athiest be on this spot?

Because they like good conversation. And they and the agnostics (like myself) are often welcomed and encouraged to ask questions. So long as they remain respectful, which most of them do.

I love the hospitality of this spot. As a fan of Christ and the Christian principal in theory, that is why I am here, even if I'm not Christian.

INDEPENT BAPTIST ALL THE WAY!!!! JESUS SAVES!!!!! HE IS RISEN!!!

I'm proud Catholic. But my mom and one best friend of mine are orthodox, my other two best friends and boyfriend are from Evangelistic church, i have 3 atheist friend, others are Catholic. I respect them and love them all, and I go in all these churches and participate in their activities

And proud of it.

i love jesus

I believe in God, Jesus, the saints and the Virgin Mary.
:)

Yay Jesus! Smile Jesus Loves You!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure....I simply just believe in God! xD

Well, I believe that Jesus was the son of Christ. I was told that this tells you what denomination you are, is that correct??

Baptist/Protestant. Dont have anything against other religions. I was just raised by a Baptist & a Catholic, but went to Baptist church.

Representing E-Free! :D

:D

Coptic Orthodox!

Okay my opinion is needed again. God did say love your neighbors as you love yourself. So, who is your neighbor? Let me tell you a story. A man walks down the street. A gang member comes up and beats the crap out of him. A priest walks by, sees the man and turns and walks in the opposite direction. The president walks by and sees the man lying there bleeding profusely. He keeps walking pretending he didn't see anything. A drug dealer walks by,sees the man lying on the ground, then rips his own shirt and starts treating the guy so the guy wouldn't die. Then he got him to a hospital and paid the bill. As the injured man was getting to leave the hospital, he reached in his pocket and found reservations for one at a hotel, already paid for. So what's the point of the story? Those around us are our neighbors. That drug dealer saw this man lying there bleeding and dying. He didn't know the injured man at all. All he knew was that this man needed help. The injured man could have been a serial killer. There is a God. For without God, the world would be in more chaos, people in other countries would not be tortured. Maybe I'll give a little insight to that in one of my articles... Anyway I love debates to an extent. I do not like when people come on and just say stuff to fight. Those are the debates I do not like. I love it when people ask questions that make me think. Those debates I love. Things go wrong in "our" world because we all choose to do wrong things. There is no way to stop doing wrong things because it is human nature.

I go to a Lutheran Church, but I think I identify with a nondenominational Christian. :P

I'm Lutheran :)
Follower of Martin Luther wo created the Lutheran church. :)
God Bless!

I didn't know that there were that many types of Christian! Whenever people ask me what religion I am, I just say, Christian.

Protestant....means we have the version of the Bible that was translated by Martin Luther in the 16th century and adapted most of his ideas

mainly: no virgin mary worshipping, no saint worshipping, no celibacy, 2 instead of 7 sacraments, women can become priests too

30% of the german population is protestant

God created us out of love not for his own amusement! God gives us are right to choose he doesnt force us to do anything its the peoples faults who have killed and sinned he didnt make us do any of that stuff! Right now God has a plan and its going to follow through exactly how he planned. Theres not going to be a end of the world the worlds never going to end! And i feel sorry for those of you who killed or dont believe in God because you have to answer to that! God gave us a bible and wisdom use it! He made us these beautiful things and all he asks in return is love!

Yay, sweet_n_silly! Stormin Mormons :D

Roman Catholicism. Although I disagree on some issues

Protestant IS Lutheran. whoever put Protestant needs to do reasrch

I'm a bit of both. I was baptized Catholic, but confirmed Lutheran, and I am extremely proud of that fact. My faith is the same way. I believe in some Catholic teachings, but I also believe in some Lutheran teachings as well.

And proud of it, baby

I'm a Catholic and proud of it! I don't wear my religion on my sleeve but it's very important to me! Catholics are Christian, the only difference is we are Judeo-Christians and are the closest to our Jewish rutes! :)

evangelical christian all the way!

pagan

@ Ratdog Christianity is not a kind of Judaism, though it branched off from it. And I'm not really sure what I am... just a person who believes in Christ. I guess I call my self 'modern Christian' instead of Catholic or the branches of that. I go to a modern church... but it is mostly a (what I call it) 'advice church'. So, yeah. I'm a loner.

Pentecostal who attends a C of E church sometimes.

Although I'm a Buddhist, I find both the Catholic and Orthodox churches interesting, especially the latter, their chants are spiritually 'wow'!

^Orthodox chants are indeed awesome. Quite soul-stirring even as an agnostic.

One thing that strikes me when I listen to them is just how ancient they are (having been used for over 1000 years).

They also make me remember that Christianity was originally an Eastern religion.

I'm an Omnist.

General Protestant, leaning Pentecostal/Charismatic. I used to go to a general Pentecostal church but lately we've been attending an Assemblies of God church and I really think we fit in more here (our old church was great in its messages, but it was a bit repetitious and a bit too conservative).
