“What is your denomination?
I don’t have a denomination...I believe the Scriptures...I can line up with ‘some’ Presbyterians...There’s a group called the Brethern who appear to me to be close enough to the truth but they put way too much emphasis on the Pauline Epistles to the exclusion of the rest of the Scriptures, in my view...

Independant Baptist churches, in general, appear to me to be as close to scripture as one can get...

I love the worship at Pentecostal services but I don’t agree with some of their beliefs...However, I’ve been to a couple of Baptist churches that will really raise your level of excitement for the Lord...

I’m just a Bible Believing Christian...A sinner saved by Grace... “

Interesting. Thanks. So there are two now who acknowledge they interpret Scripture for themselves.

What foolishness...The one that's doing the private interpretation against God's will is the Catholic church...That's where you get your information...

I believe what I read in the Scripture, whether I understand it or not...I read the context...I compare with other Scriptures that pertain to the same topic...And, I ask the Holy Spirit to guide and teach me...

Now if you are one of those Christians who is NOT led by the Holy Spirit in reading and understanding Scripture, I can see why you would take the position you do...

Before I was saved, I didn't have a clue what was in the Scriptures, even tho I could read it...

Yes, we’ve been given the freedom by God to do just that.

Umm, I think the Holy Spirit is our guide, and our teacher. We can’t do anything by ourselves.
