Hello! I am posting in hopes of finding guidance, as to exactly which denomination I would fall into. I was raised Catholic - and was baptized, did my communion and confession. The last confession I did was in 2nd grade, and I have no idea what I would really need to confess at such a young age. I was put in CCD during middle school but quit because I did not agree with the fact that I would need to confess to a person I did not know. I felt you should confess to God directly in your own time. I believe in baptism, although its an obvious Catholic tradition, I feel you should be able to be baptized at any time of your life, and that an innocent baby shouldn't need to be baptized in order to be "entered into Christianity." God would watch over an innocent. I really have no strong feelings towards eucharist - I don't think a piece of bread and wine should ultimately symbolize you receiving the Holy Spirit into your life.. Your belief and trust in him should be enough. I know many Christian churches look down upon divorce, but I think anyone should be able to leave a marriage if you are unhappy. I support abortion but in the event of rape, incest or the baby's or mother's health is at risk. I don't think everyone's fate has been "pre-determined" by God and I think people if willing, can confess their sins and accept God and change their lives. This goes hand-in-hand with my belief in karma - I feel if you do good, you will get good back in return. I don't believe in a "rapture" coming. I am on the fence on whether there truly is a purgatory or not. As for services go, I would prefer a short, sweet-and-to-the-point service. This was really one of the main things I stopped attending Catholic Church. Now, which denomination would I really fall into? I thought Non-Denominational, but I feel like its so vague..
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!
