IS THERE ONE TRUE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION?

[Eternally Grateful]

I mostly agree with you, but there’s only one baptism for Christians - but opinions will differ on what that one baptism is - water or spirit baptism.

Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Spirit baptism

as John said, he will baptise with the Hs and fire,

we better pray we are baptized by the spirit, otherwise we will be baptized by fire, which will never be quenched,

 

[Daniel Veler]

James wrote that pure religion is this:
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
What you have in the congregations today is doctrine. This is what separates them. Do you want to know their error? Study the letters in Revelation that outlines their false teachings. You’ll see them condemned by the Lord. The love of God in your heart is true religion.

 

[Desire Of All Nations]

There is no such thing as one true Christian denomination because the Bible doesn't support the existence of denominations in the first place. President Lincoln didn't understand much of what the Bible teaches, but he certainly knew that much.

How can anyone conclude that this contradicts the express commandment of Christ just before His ascension? The context in Ephesians 4 is related to spiritual unity, and has nothing to do with water baptism. The Bible never contradicts itself.

Was the Pentecost crowd baptized into the faith with the same baptism ritual as other converts or not? You confidently speak of the command Christ gave before His ascension, but He obviously referred to water baptism because it's what they used in Acts 2 and literally every other instance in the Bible when somebody's conversion to Christianity was recorded.

 

[Enoch111]

Was the Pentecost crowd baptized into the faith with the same baptism ritual as other converts or not?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The people who were saved on the day of Pentecost were baptized with Christian baptism. Just like we do today. The same pattern was maintained through all the centuries by Bible-believing Christians.

 

[Mark51]

Yes, Christianity is the one true religion. That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion. Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22).

Why do we have so many Christian denominations?
One reason for the existence of so many denominations is disparity in personality, passions, and talents. Consider individuals for a moment. Some people connect with God best through the exercise of their minds or while in nature. Others experience spirituality through creative or artistic expression.

Of those that profess to be Christians, which ones are doing God Almighty's will-as instructed in the Bible? Matthew 7:21 and 1 Corinthians 7:23 will give you a base and to ponder over.
