I was just wondering how many people consider themselves Calvinist, Armenian, Lutheran etc... And why.

Personally I would say I am Armenian with Calvinist tendencies.

Anyone?

I am nondenominational. We strongly focus on a personal realtionship with God, actually KNOWING him.

Really, United Church of Christ is the way to go, at least if they really DO follow UCC positions. They are the first to accept gay members and gay marriage as a denomination. Woot woot!

I'm from a charismatic denomination.
However, i don't think that denomination really matters. What matters to me most is what i believe in, and if the God that we're believing is the same true God, we are heading the right direction. God doesn't look at us differently because we are from different denomination. He loves us the way we are, no matter how sinful we are. That's why He is my God.

Im mostly non-denominational. I do however kindof follow protestant beliefs, but I wouldn't call myself a protestant. I do happen to go to a catholic school though.

Well it's actually kind of interesting. Or maybe I'm just boring like that...

This is why I don't bother with denominations.

I found this Shade, I hope it's right and that it helps:

"The term Anglican (from medieval Latin ecclesia Anglicana meaning 'the English church') is used to describe the people, institutions, and churches as well as the liturgical traditions and theological concepts developed by the established Church of England, the Anglican Communion and the Continuing Anglican Churches (a loosely affiliated group of independent churches which have seceded from the Anglican Communion as a result of doctrinal and liturgical differences with its various provinces). In some parts of the world, an Anglican is known as an Episcopalian.

The Anglican Communion considers itself to be part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and as being both Catholic and Reformed. For some adherents, it represents a non-papal Catholicism, for others a Protestantism without a dominant figure such as a Luther, Knox, Calvin, or Wesley.[1] For many Anglicans, self-identity represents some combination of the two. The Communion is a theologically broad and often divergent affiliation of thirty-eight provinces that are in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Anglican Communion is one of the larger Christian denominations in the world, with approximately 73 million members[1]."

Previously I was Anglican, and I still hold great respect for the Anglican tradition.

I don't understand denominations, and frankly, I don't know how anyone can expect us to.

I was Lutheran. Looking back, I think it was a little too Catholic-like for my liking, although the churches I went to were very laid back compared to other Lutheran churches I've seen.
