  1. A Christian denomination is a distinct religious body within Christianity, identified by traits such as a name, organization and doctrine. Individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church, convention, communion, assembly, house, union, network, or sometimes fellowship. this cold one is for you. Merry Christmas, Between you and BT this place cannot survive.

  4. Nondenominational churches now have largest share of church-goers in US The share of Americans who identify with Protestant denominations has slipped to around 10%. by The Rural Blog The Rural Blog Published Jan. 16, 2023 Updated: 1:59 pm Jan. 16, 2023 Americansā€™ ā€œchurch membership, church attendance and belief in God all declined during the pandemic years,ā€ but the growing membership in nondenominational Christian churches gave that largely unorganized group its first plurality among U.S. believers, Daniel de VisĆ© writes for The Hillā€™s ā€œChanging Americaā€ series. ā€œAt least one-fifth of Americans today embrace no religion at all,ā€ DeVisĆ© notes, citing polls. ā€œA similar share tell pollsters they do not believe in God, an all-time high. The lone, striking counter-trend is a steep rise in nondenominational Protestants.ā€ They became a plurality among U.S. Protestants in 2021, ā€œsignaling a new era of churches and clergies untethered from religious tradition.ā€ DeVisĆ© reports, ā€œSince the 1970s, the share of Americans who identified as Baptists, Methodists and other Protestant denominations has slipped from more than 30 percent to around 10 percent. In the same span, the share of nondenominational Protestants has exploded. The 2020 U.S. Religion Census found 6.5 million more nondenominational congregants and thousands more churches than in 2010.ā€ DeVisĆ© quotes Daniel Silliman, writing in Christianity Today: ā€œIf ā€˜nondenominationalā€™ were a denomination, it would be the largest Protestant one, claiming more than 13 percent of churchgoers in America.ā€ This is a fundamental change in a key element of American society. DeVisĆ© notes, ā€œMultigenerational communities formed around the Baptist and Methodist churches that dominated town squares for generations. By contrast, nondenominational churches often thrive on their otherness, attracting congregants who mistrust ancient American institutions.ā€ The pandemic spurred the decline of traditional church affiliation. ā€œIn-person church attendance plummeted by 45 percentin the pandemic, according to an ABC News analysis,ā€ DeVisĆ© reports. ā€œMost churches have reopened, but not all congregants have returned. ā€¦ The share of Americans who belong to churches dipped below half in 2020, a historic low, according to Gallup polling.ā€ At the same time, many of those who say they identify with no religion say they consider religion important in their lives, DeVisĆ© reports.
  5. The Non-Denomination Church. The Church that is pleasing to the ears. Here you wonā€™t hear politics, talks about false religion, or even the word hell is mentioned, come as you are. For we are all one, in Christ? Beware of wolvesā€¦ Matt.7 [15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raveningwolves. Matt.10 [16] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Luke.10 [3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Acts.20 [29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
  6. I asked Siri, how old the Earth is and she told me that it was 4.5 billion years old. just a little older than that fruitcake, I just ate.

  8. This doesnā€™t have anything to do with joy Iā€™m just trying to show my brother Christians. Whatā€™s going on and is it right?
