How do you know when a sub religion of Christianity doesn't fit you?

[fromtheriver]

well, I'm a Christian. Thee obvious.
BUT here's my problem.

I go to church with my mom, and have realized and know the church and my mom are Pentalcostals, and the the thing is, I realized something after being in friday bible studies at a home that I am more stoked and don't even feel a single feeling of dread going to bible study and the excitement is completely different and high than going to my church.

I thought about it, and I don't like my mother's church. Sure they don't have bad intentions but I sorta dislike how they sometimes only concentrate on the holy spirit, being baptized by the holy spirit, etc. I like reading more about the bible and being told things I never knew like how you're not supposed to test God, not how if I don't read the bible I'm going to hell.


So, how am I supposed to know? Do I keep trying to fit in this church without feeling myself frustrated?
how am I going to explain to my mother?
Because if I do want to find another church, I want my mother to accept that I don't fit in hers

First, genuinely seek god and make sure that your issue is not rooted in rebellion. I'm not accusing you of being rebelious, just that some times, it can be sneaky and be our motivation when we don't realize it. I have sure fallen into this in the past.

If the holy spirit confirms in you that you are not being rebelious, simply approach your mother with the subject. Sit down with her and be a calm rational adult about your concerns and your needs.

Let God be the center of your discussion with your Mother, not your perspectives of her church.

I would say approach your mother on the subject and talk to her about it. Its good to see someone so young wanting to dleve into scripture and love it. You have noticed for yourself that some churches don't do much scripture teaching, they rely more on their own feelings rathe than the word of God. I am not saying that all pentacostals/Charismatics are like that, but i have been to a few and I must admit I didnt hear much from the word of God being taught.

Kepp reading your Bible sis, pray to God about it, and talk to your mother also, maybe someone at your bible study could suggest somewhere for you to try and even ask your mother to go with you.

Where the scripture is not taught there is no spiritual growth.

I forgot to say, the main thing is you talk to God about it(pray).

As we grow up we all at one point will have to decide what we believe. As Christians that means choosing what our home church will be and what we believe is the right way to worship God.
I can't sit here and tell you how I worship on Sunday and the church I go to are perfect. They are not. Over the next couple of years you will be making many decisions about life, college, career, family ect.
Study the Bible get to know it and find someone you trust to teach you what the Bible has to offer. God puts those people in our lives for a reason.

i believe that the holy spirit has opened your mind and heart and has clarified what the spirit of God in you has been trying to tell you, the word has cut through you like that two-egded sword,its clear for you to learn more about God and grow on more in another denomination or body of Gods chidren as you venture to where Gods will is, and bless your mum, if your mum is more interested in your spiritual growth and not sentimentalism she should support your decision to go to a good bible based church that is good for you ,make up your mind on what you are going to do and just do what God want you to do or where to go, tell yor mum, trust in God
