Originally posted by prosoccerSome of the divisions are more tradition than belief. Many members of some churches would say that the practices of another denomination are "not wrong but it just not the way we do it". There are often some key differences in belief as well though. You would probably find however that it is only a small percentage of the congregation that actually knows, understands, and agrees with those differences.
Just wondering, I have never known, what is the difference between all the different denominations in Christianity? E.g, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Orthodox, Unorthodox, or whatever else there might be.
Many people switch denomination for the sake of marriage. This implies that the differences are often not significant enough to rule out attending the services of a different denomination.
