Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
This is a ministry of striving for eternity. So what church should I go to? Well, now we get into some other things to also think about is denominations.
You have a bunch of different types of churches. You have Baptist churches, Presbyterian churches, Lutheran churches, Bible churches, independent non -denominational churches,
Pentecostal churches, Assemblies of God. You have a wide range of churches, and really what you want to do is find churches that are going to agree as close as possible with your theological stance.
Now, like I said yesterday, it's not always going to be a case where what you believe is where you're going to go.
Sometimes you can't find a good church that agrees with your own doctrine. Okay, maybe you go somewhere else that disagrees with your theology in some minor areas, but you can still serve.
I have been a Baptist. That's what I go to, Baptistic -type churches or Bible churches, but I can go into a
Presbyterian church and I'm able to serve there and be part of their body, but I wouldn't be part of their membership.
Why? Well, I wouldn't agree with their doctrine completely on several things. And you've got to know what those things are of the differences.
And the area that we have differences are areas of the way the church functions.
But when it comes to things like, do we believe that Jesus is God? You're going to see agreement across the board on those with the churches that I mentioned.
So really the question is going to be, how does the church govern itself? How does the church function? That's what defines many of the differences.
There are some theological ones as well, but find the one that best suits your own theology. This podcast is part of the
