I have attended services in churches of all flavors, GARB (Baptist), OPC, Presbyterian, Methodist, AoG, Elim Fellowship, Calvary Chapel, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Independent, Mega churches, and have found differences in areas referred to as disputable matters (Romans 14) but none in the basics of faith in the final authority of Scripture and salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ as the gift of God.

It's the rebirth in Christ that makes us Christians, not Baptists, not Methodists, not Presbyterians, not ANY denomination.

Jesus saves, not denominations. Identification with Him is our unity.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Demands for my denominational affiliation so as people can then judge me to know whether I am saved or not are meaningless and not going to be answered any further than they have been.

Jesus saves. Scripture is the final authority.

Thow shalt believe in such and such denomination and thow shalt be saved?

Knowing your denomination identity does not enable to judge your salvation, it enables to determine your likely doctrines and practices. That’s pretty much what a denomination is, a group with similar doctrinal distinctives and practices. So, even if you say, “non-denominational”, that doesn’t really fly. You will have distinctives and practices.

For example, do you believe “tongues” ended with the apostolic age or that they continue until today? Do you celebrate Christmas or don’t you? Do you celebrate the feast of Tabernacles or don’t you?

BTW, were you a Romney supporter or weren’t you? (That’s not a religious question, but political.) It helps get a handle on where you come from politically, though.

This is a very strange view to say the least. I noticed that your list only contained synergistic (Arminian) churches (PCUSA included). Since denominational affiliations aren't important, you might try a good Reformed Baptist or PCA church for balance.
