This thread is specifically for informing everybody what denomination you are apart of, and what you believe. Let me lay down some rules:
I’m not being legalistic; I’m just making sure that I’m not at the center of any problems. 
I am non-denominational. I believe that the bible is the Word of God. I believe that the bible applies to every area of life because God cares about every area of life. I believe that there is only one correct interpretation of any biblical passage, but numerous applications. I think about it like this: If I wrote a book that was supposed to provide direction to people and then someone comes along and says, “To me, this part of the book means this/that,” I wouldn’t say, “People interpret my words differently. I just have to accept it and move on,” I would set them straight on what I meant/said. I also believe that before we can have a national revival, we must have a Church revival. I’m also a Dispensationalist.
What is dispensationalism and is it biblical? | GotQuestions.org
I am a United Methodist.
I believe God sets a big table where all are welcome.
I believe the Bible is inspired, but not literal.
I believe Revelation was written to the people it is addressed to, talking about the Roman Empire, and is not a prophecy for today.
I believe in fish frys and covered dish suppers.
Wow. That’s way more concise than my post was. You have talent. Seriously.
Ha! I type my posts on my phone so I try to keep it short.
I after 35 years have gone back to my spiritual roots. Im back in the Assemblies of God here in the U.K . Spent many years in non denominational charismatic churches but have gone full circle. Most importantly, I’m where i believe God wants me .
After passing through Campus Crusade, a Southern Baptist seminary and numerous churches, and after having deeply immersed myself in theology, apologetics and other studies for 5+ decades, I am now …
A theist.
Not “a Christian,” not “not a Christian.”
Just a theist. (I’m not a deist because I do believe I’ve seen the providential involvement of a deity in my life.)
I don’t believe Jesus was God or thought he was God. I believe he’d be aghast at the idea anyone thinks he’s a member of something called the Trinity. I believe he was an apocalyptic Jew who wrongly expected the end to come in short order.
I believe the Bible is no more inspired than other scriptures or the writings of Henry David Thoreau. I believe bibliolatry and the whole literalist/inerrantist schtick s a bizarre mental straitjacket.
I believe Christianity as it now exists is little more than a political power structure that has little or nothing to do with anything Jesus was talking about. It is an almost entirely worldly institution.
I believe Jesus’ vision was of a radical transformation at both the individual and societal level that has, alas, never really taken root.
I believe most Christians are what they are for reasons of parental and cultural influence, social expediency and other factors unrelated to truth. I believe many Christians pretend to believe or mindlessly parrot doctrines no rational person could possibly believe.
I do not believe the creator of the universe could possibly be as Christianity posits him to be. I do not believe the plan of creation could possibly be what Christianity posits it to be.
I’ve engaged in a spiritual quest vastly more intensive than most people undertake. I cannot believe, or make myself believe, things I am constitutionally incapable of believing.
I thus am just a theist who no longer pretends to have any answers at all. I pray to whatever God there is, in the belief (conviction) and hope that he/she/it exists.
It’s been quite liberating.
If I’m wrong and find myself confronted by the raging God of fundamentalist Christianity, I’ll just have to say “Sorry, pal, I landed where a sincere and diligent search led me, believed what I was constitutionally capable of believing, and did my best to live according to my convictions. If that isn’t good enough for you, throw the book at me if it makes you happy.”
Aren’t you glad you asked? Sorry if I offended anyone, but I’m just through with the nonsense.
I received a well-intentioned PM from a young goof who interpreted my description of myself as “a theist” as meaning I am an “atheist” and informed me I should know this is not a “theistic” forum.
Surprise: Theists are not atheists. Surprise: All Christians are theists.
Here is the basic (overly simplistic) breakdown:
Atheist: Believes there is no deity (but may believe in a supernatural realm, life after death, and other things that might surprise you).
Agnostic: Believes it is impossible to decide whether there is a deity.
Deist: Believes there is a deity, but not one who is involved in human affairs.
Theist: Believes there is a deity (or deities) who is involved in human affairs.
To repeat: I am a pretty committed theist. All Christians are theists. I eschew the label “Christian” because I don’t believe the religion that calls itself Christianity has much if anything to do with what Jesus was talking about. If God decides I’m a Christian, I won’t argue with him.
Reminds me of a distraught student I had who interrupted my lecture to tell me Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers were not Atheists. .
I was explaining Deists and the Clockmaker version of God.
Christianity and Theism are not the same thing. You know that. You have 50+ years of bible study under your belt. Christianity is much deeper than Theism. I know the difference between ‘atheism’ and ‘theism.’ Yes, I’m the, what did @Bingo call it? Ah, yes. I was the ‘young goof.’ I guess @Bingo didn’t actually read what I said. He must’ve just skimmed it. Moving on. Next!
