Lutheran, Missouri Synod - Australia. But my church is more open to the workings of Holy Spirit than many other Lutheran churches here. So it's pretty much a LutherCostal church.

I would agree. And thanks for the new vocab word! Exegesis :cool:

Happy to help. :)

While we're having fun, the type of "sermon" I described(1 verse from here, 3 from there, 1/2 from another place) has a much greater chance of leading to an eisegesis. Not good.

I think, here in the states, that type of church would be referred to as "Free Lutheran".

Is the service liturgical?

Is there a "band" or group of people playing instruments?

Infant or "believers" baptism?

We have liturgical elements, but the service isn't entirely liturgical. Yes, there's a worship band out the front and we practice infant baptism and sometimes baptism of children and adults.

I go to a church that is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, which really calls itself multi-denominational and not really a denomination per say. The name of the church is Grace Alliance Church. I am not a member of said church, but I am a member of the global church. But as for my beliefs they are Evangelical Protestant. Thanks. God bless. :)

No particular denomination.

My parents are in the Methodist church, so I know a lot of people there and then to go there Sundays, when I lived closer to Vineyard I'd go there.

In Scotland I mostly attended Church of Scotland, but I also dropped by a Episcopal Church, a few Catholic churches, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, an Orthodox church and a Synagogue. :D

I was "non-denominational," whatever that actually means. :D I attended a couple of different Calvary Chapels; one kind of large, and the other a little... mawkish, I guess. I got into apologetics for awhile, too; Ravi Zacharias and some of his speakers, as well as various other names really interested me.

Now I'm just secular pariah.

as for the kind of church I go to I am less concerned about the denomination and more about if God's presence is in that place

My beliefs tend to fall in line with the Westboro Baptist Church denomination

Just thought it'd be kinda cool to find out where everyone goes to Church :cool:. About Me: I was Baptized Episcopalian (Got the Best of Both Worlds there) Then Confirmed UCC (Protestant)... LOVED General Synod! (Anyone attend in Minnesota?) Idk I'm tripolar... I feel like the worlds only Jewish Protestant Catholic. Where do you guys fall? Lettuce be respectful! :p

I was raised a United Methodist (it was just the Methodist Church in those days) and am a United Methodist today. I don't like all that I see in the church (there seems to be a war going on between the politically correct and the conservatives) but I love my local church.

I've been everywhere. Charismatic Pentecostal to conservative Mennonite. I like JennaLeannism the best.

As a child I went to a brethren Sunday school with the neighbours grand kids, My parents were Church of England so ended up going to C of E Churches, become a Christian at 18. At Uni I went to a Pentecostal Church and an Independent Evangelical Church when I moved to another city. When I moved back home back to a C of E Church then a Congregational Church, I went to a Congregational Church in Belfast. Currently I go to an Indepent Evanagelical Church which has brethren routes.

What I look for in a Church is sound preaching, I like expository teaching, I also like it where you systematically go through Bible books. I also look for a place where there is good fellowship, where I can also contribute. The only reason I have been to so many Churches is I have moved around a lot. I have been at my current Church 14 years.

Assemblies of God here too.


But doctrinally, I'm a mix of a bunch of different ones. Probably mostly lutheran and baptist....
