Which were... but what denomination are you, and what seminary did you attend? Or is that private information
For security reasons I don't like giving out names and addresses to strangers.
A denomination has the following traits: common faith and name and organized under a single administrative and legal hierarchy.
You asked, "What denomination are you". I am not a denomination. I keep two residences, when I am at one, I attend a place that considers itself very independant. They taught the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, but they are not baptists, nor have "baptist" in their name. When I am at the southern fortress, I attend out of necessity an orthodox presbyterian assembly (which teaches the Westminster Confession). I do not subscribe to all the teachings of the Convenant Theology and I am not gung-ho about national assemblies, but I respect the reason why they conduct them.
In my life I have circulated among the large SBC, independant fundamentalist, and what I now call the neo-evangelical "churches". In the past two decades I have watched a remarkable descent into the abyss of apostasy by these groups (some predominately black,some mostly white,from profoundly wealthy to struggling), to the point that they are unrecognizable, yet they boast membership roles that look like ZIP codes.
