Independent Christians

I used to be one. Actually, you could say I was raised as one.

I guess that allowed me to congregate with Evangelicals, Baptists,
Presbyterians, Methodists, and Pentecostals, depending on where
I was living (and I did a lot of relocations throughout my younger
years) and feel very, very comfortable in all of those communities.

Recently, though, I feel very cozy and at home in Pentecostalism.

Yeah, it differs from one congregation to another.

Let's say that I am not very knowledgeable about the doctrinal
differences between the branches I mentioned nor I pay a lot
of attention to them. However, I can feel the differences in the
love of the community for the Lord and for each other, as well
as its passion when praying and praising.

I feel a lot of that in the one I attend currently, and it happens to
be pentecostal.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that the Pentecostal churches
do not believe in the Triune God, but in the oneness of God. This may
only be a branch, I am not sure.

I am with Kelly Jay there, at least with the Pentecostals I know.
It's all about the Holy Spirit! 🙂

1 Corinthians 12:27 - [b]Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

I am a member of a local assembly of like minded believers though.[/b]

You are completely surprised.

You know you don't know what it means.
