Well women teachers are out and not all tongues are legit tongues. Some are simply babble. Gifts are given but to those God gives them too. And gay people are allowed to repent and congregate after belief in Christ because Jesus saves from sin. repentance is mandatory for salvation at the end of ones life's requirements.

It's a continuously branching tree and realistically, none of the branches we have today are even remotely close to the early Christian faith or cults. What is even crazier to me to try to fully grasp is that today we have have more than 50 different denominations with each their own variations, but it must me nothing compared to the number of denominations that existed at some point. It's even weirder to imagine the fact that today's Christians are not worshipping or following the same books than 1000 or even 2000 years ago; a lot have changed in them, from books or that have been added, erased, modified, given another entire meaning with some less than ideal translation, etc. We tend to see faiths as something made out of stone, as if it didn't changed during more than 2000 years, where it's far from being the case, and it's in fact a constantly evolving thing with new characters, new myths, traditions, and even more which we forgot; the more time pass, the more Christianity becomes different from Christianity.

[@yit555]

I’ve always been a member of a Baptist church and remember being shocked at how organized other denominations are and how much power the organization has over the individual churches. Baptist churches pretty much operate on their own, held loosely together by their beliefs. I tend to like it that way, it gives the individual church more freedom.

[@lyriclotto]

[@ivetterodríguez-j4k]

​@@lyriclottoWell, it might explain the heavy authority placed on the bible rather than the individual church or even denomination. I have heard Baptist pastors say that the denomination does not matter so long as they're well studied in the scriptures and have no baby baptisms. In my case, growing up Baptist I'm most wary of the Pentecostals. And authority is nice if I don't mind the church policy. We do tend to be less ritualistic and like to see Paul's letters to the churches as guidance for church teaching and function.

Compromise is never God's will. It's what happens when all those who claim to be of God, divide those against others who claim to be of God. Which is why every denomination is false. Charles Lawson recently said he no longer agrees with whatever his denomination teaches, because after learning who God is, you cannot compromise any longer. However he also still holds some of the old baptist beliefs. Calvinism teaches that those who Jesus died for will believe and be faithful, and never betray Christ. That is false because Jesus earned against betraying Him, He draws those who have doubts even after believing and accepting Him. Paul corrected Peter and was even watched over by fellow apostles and teachers. This is biblical doctrine. Most of the denominations claim they do not need any one reproving them. They tell others what they believe is the truth, and spend so much time seeking others for their doctrine they fail to seek God and His Doctrine.

I've grown up my entire life being in the AG and am currently a part of an AG congregation. The biggest thing that bothers me is the focus on the speaking in tongues theology, because their basis/evidence for this belief is boiled down to "correlation = causation", when you can't necessarily equate the two to this particular belief. They seem to elevate the idea of speaking in tongues more than the idea of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. And when a pastor doesn't see hordes of people in the congregation speaking in tongues, the pastor tries to prod them to start speaking in tongues to justify their belief in that particular doctrine. They say that people begin speaking in tongues naturally after they are baptized in the Spirit, but I have never seen it happen in my 29 years of being in this particular denomination. I've actually noticed that at Youth Conventions over the past few years that they've started toning down trying to make teens feel like they have to speak in tongues in order to get closer to God. I wonder if they are starting to accept that maybe this isn't a biblical truth. If it is true, then won't the evidence show itself without pastors having to teach their congregations about it? In the NT when the people do speak in tongues, they were never told about this doctrine, and yet it happened anyways. So I see this disconnect between the Pentecostal tradition's teaching and what actually happens in the Bible.

[@yqafree]

Can you offer a theological hermeneutic? It's not an easy endeavor. I believe what I've come to find in the scriptures makes hardly any of these standards important throughout the whole video. Some are like "yeah yeah that's fine" or "obviously that's not core doctrine, so why's there even such focus?" But all in all my understanding of core doctrines are these : * a. There really is good and evil, but such necessitates where from * b. The Holy God is the completely righteous God and leads righteousness in men and all things, the god of this world is satan and he's the one who leads evil in humankind and all things. That's defined by synergy, or indwelling. Who's breath is taken in for the individual at any given time. * Mankind is blighted with all natures that are transgressive, for that these will in various ways lead him/her onto any kind of troubles. Our fallen nature separates us from the fulness of the Holy God. Any failure is equivalent to failure overall. * Any amount of righteousness or blessing has come as a gift from the Holy One. * Jesus Christ is a being, persons in God aren't as important as what He is. He's non-dualistic, meaning He's not able to be taken apart and that He's impassible. He's the savior of all mankind and the cosmos. His plan is restorative. The gospels describe His death onto the cross/tree as a ransom and propitiation of the sins that the entirety of humanity's committed. The Spirit of Christ, whom is Holy, has come in the flesh. He holds all things together in Grace and providence. Ultimately His grace also absolves the believers' failures. * Ultimately baptism is a spiritual function as is being born again. They follow the monergistic direction, meaning from the Holy God onto man, that's His will and making. So trifling debates about how these things are supposed to happen are pointless, rather the symbolic gesture of baptism and communion are supposed to represent the commitment to living in service as a follower of Jesus' examples found within the narratives of the gospel accounts. They're important in the way that we acknowledge the Holy God, but individuals don't have to literally consume certain things or be under conditions of certain elements to even be saved. * Every individual regardless of timing or placement will die for the transactions of sins and thus will be brought to the eschaton. The judgments will go forth and a account of all things said will be given, even careless words. The actions of Christ will be counted for the righteousness needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. And so on many other things could be said. Anyway again hermeneutics are difficult and this is just off the cuff.

Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-16‬ ‭

Thanks for the layout. Simple, straightforward, and gives a good simple summary of the many denominations.

Maybe it's like a Schrödinger's Christianity, where they are actually _all_ correct but only right up until we observe one of them and the religious wave function collapses?

[@ob2249]

brickzot great analogy "schrodinger`s christianity" both dead and yet horrendously "alive" at the same time. ie a zombie. I think moribund perfectly describes this.

[@twiggledy5547]

Big old book. Lotta different readings depending on where you come from and what your view of the gospel is. Theology is still an -ology

[@titty.skittles9534]

It’s kinda like atheism. Based on one thing, many interpretations.

This video should of been called... "Protestant Christianity: 50 Denominations Compared". If you're comparing Christianity, also include Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

[@vidarfe]

Actually, it should be called Protestant Christianity in US: 50 Denominations Compared. All the denominations he mentions are from US.

[@ANDROLOMA]

The video didn't strike me as any comparison as it did seem to be more of a listing, rather. With Catholicism being original orthodoxy from which the schism began, then Eastern as an evolution.

Will there be a similar video for traditional denominations (Catholic, East Orthodox, Nestorian, etc?)

[@apracity7672]

Any church that is pro women as pastors or/and pro gay marriage is NOT christian

[@Catmonks7]

As a catholic one of the problems I see is that the issues in the Catholic church seem minuscule when compared to the divide of protestant churches which is disheartening.Too much individualism within the churches which in my opinion has caused the Christian right to lose the culture against liberalism/leftism.

[@maillemacanaugh1841]

There’s like, 42,000 different denominations… it’s hard to squeeze all that in in one video! This was well done. A little exhausting, but I learned a lot

[@z_wawasan.k.s5481]

Not 42 but 45 000

Psh, what’s a 3,000 denominational difference between friends? Hehe. Sigh.

I watched this trying to gain some clarity on which church to join and now I'm just more confused

[@Gyudles]

I would be too if I was looking into Christianity. I think the divisions are the biggest scandal in the Church and the biggest witness against it. History, however, provides a good clue about the core Church, the one Christ really founded, the one that has remained intact and consistent in its beliefs since the beginning - the surest sign of divine intervention amongst a wayward people who tend to break everything eventually. Pray and read the Bible. Read the Church Fathers. Read about the history of the West. Get deep. Look at all the sides. And the Holy Spirt will help you’ll find the golden strand running through it all. God bless you in your journey!

[@BubbaJ18]

Read the Bible, and see which church you believe is closest to your thoughts

[@Kostas_Dikefalaios]

Catholic or Orthodox. There are no other choices.

A good compendium of American protestantism. The one BIG and only problem is the title. If you changed that I'd have no complaints. Was it chosen to increase the number of clicks?? I'd recommend something like this for the title: "50 American Protestant Denominations Compared". That would be much, much better, even if the click rate was lower.
