What Denominations are there? *
Q: What denominations in Christianity are there?
A: There's a lot. Southern Baptist (50k churches), Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, most of those are Reformed Churches. There are baptist leaning solid churches too in reformed circles. Then you have 200 kinds of plain Baptist, Calvinist, & non demoms, (which many are possibly wishy washy today vs 1999). Some Charismatics, (Pentecostal and Apostolic, Oneness and Four Square) are ones with false teaching. Of the general Protestant churches that focus on the Gospel these tend to be called Evangelical, because thats what the word means; bearers of the good news. But Reformed Baptist also focus on evangelism.
These listed are the main ones. But take caution joining any Presbyterian, Methodist and Lutheran ones today as they now have a loooot of churches that have veered from Scripture to unbiblical cultural progressivism and split into a few associations since 2015, (which muddles it for those who know nothing about it and just want a trustworthy church; they could find themselves in a den of demons unaware). And Charismatics are or are like a cult, due to Holy Spirit heresy and their false gospel. But same goes for any church that has allowed the Prosperity Gospel or Word of Faith beliefs, or New Age beliefs into their church.
So when looking for a church you do need to look at their faith statement to know if they follow the essentials and are not embracing false teachings incl. cultural worldviews. It helps you flee from non biblical ones before you even consider them.
The main thing to worry about is that the one you want to look for holds to the essentials and the biblical Gospel.
