Why Are There Different Beliefs Among Christians by hemartins(m): 8:30am On Dec 18, 2016
A woman who preached to me sometimes ago said I must be baptized again because the activity was carried out in a swimming pool instead of a river.

Christianity is more of a diverse religion. There is the Roman Catholic and the pentecostal. Among these, there are hundreds different believes.

Some churches don't permit the use of trousers for their female members and some sees nothing wrong with it. A friend refused to attend service with me because the church I attend allow the use of trousers and jewelries.

Some denominations celebrate Christmas and some don't.

Some speak in tongues while others caution the uses of speaking in tongues.

A Christ Embassy member found in a gathering of deeper lifers would feel so strange and unwanted. As a matter of fact, she would be seen as a non believer.

We all see ourselves as different Christians. Sometimes we feel our church is better than the other or more spiritual. As some would say "let God open their spiritual eyes"

Some people would try their best to convince you to change where you worship because they think the church is not as holy as it should be. They are so quick to judge the pastor, the members and at the same time believing thiers is in the right path of Christianity.


The church is the body of Christ. The body of Christ is one and not divided. Hence, we are one in Christ.

Emmanuel Martins Udu.

Happy Sunday

There are different beliefs among christians because of the different names given to churches e.g house of great fellowship church etc. When these comes they follow different doctrines some not even in the bible what i say is |givinq churches diff. Names has caused divisions in the body of christ imagine a man who travelled on a business trip and when he got there on sunday he went round looking for the name of his church to enter and worship God in the midst of other churches now consider a muslim who can travel round the world and anywhere he sees a mosque he enterz nd worship.

OP... Take sometime and check the meaning of Christianity in your dictionary or google it undecided
many people who claim to be Christian don't know the meaning of the world "CHRISTIANITY", i don't engage myself in religious argument, cause most of this people don't know what they're doing but just following the crowd and serving their pastors and individuals around them with the fear of not being criticise undecided or i say they just wants to feel among that groups and criticise who doesn't partake in their perspectives cool

OP... The sole reason why we have different beliefs among Christians is that Christianity is a religion of freewill. We all read the same holy book but everyone is free to believe and practice whatever he likes.
But here are a few important things you must note:
1. Religion is an organized system of beliefs and rules that guides our services on earth and our worship of the Supreme being. A deep understanding of this definition shows that religion,(including Christianity), has more to do with our lifestyle than where we belong. Hence, Christianity should be seen as a way of life and not a religion.
2. In God's perspective, There's no true/genuine religion on earth. All the religious groups we have today simply arose as a result of man's inability to see things from God's angle of view.
The Bible is the most widely used holy book on earth and if God has to reveal the greatest secret of religion to mankind, it should be in the Bible.
It says in the book of James 1: 27 "What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: To take care of Widows and orphans in their suffering and to keep ourselves from being corrupted by the world".
3. The different churches, beliefs and practices we have today in christendom is a clear indication that 'Christianity religion' is a big scam and false religion because only a lie has different versions.
Also, the unity of faith and beliefs we have today in Islam and other religions is not because they are the true religion, it's simply because their members don't have the freewill to dilute their doctrines beliefs and practices or establish different versions of the same religion as obtained in Christianity. Majority of these religions can kill any member who tries to adulterate their religion as stipulated in their laws.
So it only happens in Christianity because there are no laws and no punishments for doing such.
The different beliefs we have in Christianity today would have happened in every other religion if the members of those religions were free to do whatever they like as Christians are.
