    I'm a member of a Baptist church. I don't necessarily agree with all of the interpretations but that is my denomination.

    If I were to begin attending a church other than the one I'm a member of, I still would never do what is called "moving my letter"...

    because one day I will be buried in the cemetery associated with the church, and you must be a member to get buried there (even in a family plot, which is where I'll be).

    I thought if Atheist got through then I'm chiming in with mine too. :)
    It's also very Christian in the sense that it is basically recreated from almost the entire mythological and pantheons created well before.

    I was raised Baptist

    I'm not particulary religious but I still go to my childhood church a couple of times a year to please my family. And if someone in my family passes away I'll definitely still be getting 50 casseroles. Once a Baptist always a Baptist

    Unless I don't interpret correctly, that sounds like an awful lot of food? :D

    Raised Southern Baptist, but I grew out of it's limitations.
    Sincerely asked for the truth, got zapped and became Pentecostal, then I grew beyond that.
    for a very short time I identified as Apostolic,
    Then God showed me I'm actually human, same as everyone else.

    Denominations mean nothing as far as God is concerned and I guarantee God doesn't give two hoots what silly labels are affixed to your shirt lapel,
    the only real concern is are you an open and willing conduit for God's love.
    If not, then maybe it's time to tear off the labels and seek the truth about what is a true and sincere seeker of God.

    Some folks learn these same truths and after choose to reattach the label to their shirt, but know it is of very, very little import, only the love you manifest is of any eternal worth, regardless what name you do it as.

    so my denomination is human being.

    I've always been a good Catholic girl. Even got my grandmother back into church when she lost her faith.

    I was raised protestant christian in the dutch calvinistic tradition. If i would apply a label to myself now (which I don't) it would be something like agnostic theist. I can also call myself a heathen, which i usually don't in seriousness. But i could, and i would feel more righteous about it than a lot of other self proclaimed heathens (the label is rigidly abused by 'cool' individuals)... but then again, isn't this the same with a lot of christians :p

    United Methodist is my home base. I also attend five other fellowship groups: Episcopalian, Disciples of Christ, Independent Orthodox, Catholics, and Freethinkers (Atheist/Agnostic--but that's not Christian, of course). The generic label is Progressive Christian.
