Any Aspies who would consider themselves one these options:
Quote:
1. Religious Christians or Jews who belong to a specific denomination and follow God regularly
I used to be this, but now I am a religious Christian who follows God regularly--but can have a good worship experience in almost any of the denominations, as long as they preach from the Bible and not from their doctrinal bias.
Every week, I attend a service at a Baptist church, a service at an Assembly of God church, and Bible Study at a Methodist church.
I do not call myself a Baptist, a Methodist, a Lutheran or a Pentecostal, though. I don't call myself a Nazarene or an Evangelical anymore, and though I've gone to Presbyterian, Charismatic and AoG churches, I don't identify with any of those denominations either.
I follow the Bible, the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. There are churches I stay out of, because of what I consider heresies: Mormon, Universalist Unitarian, 7th Day Adventist, and Scientology, to name a few.
But I believe in God the Father
Jesus Christ
the Holy Spirit
New Life
I believe in the Crucifixion
the Resurrection
the Ascencion
and the Second Coming--He's coming back again
I believe in heaven and hell, good and evil, angels and spirits.
I believe that only a Christian, filled with the Holy Spirit, can understand the Bible. Others will see only stories, myths, fables, contradictions, paradoxes, impossibilities, and maybe a handful of good teaching/good ideas.
But I am not ashamed of the gospel. No-one on the internet has the ability to make me doubt the Word of God, or the truth of my own testimony.
Bless.

2.
Christian, protestant, but not aligned to any major denomination. I have faith, not religion, and am wary of how some have organised religion for their own ends, in the past and the present.
My faith is not a private matter. I have found something wonderful and do not intend to keep it a secret - that would be selfish. Neither will I shove it down anyone's throat - that would be disrespectful. But then again, this is a forum, a place where people can share thoughts, so keeping my beliefs private need not be an option, except for me.
