10.3: The Many Christian Denominations: What is the Truth?

I was going to do this article on “What are  Charismatic Catholics?”, and as I started doing research, I discovered  that it’s a charismatic movement that stemmed from Pentecostalism. When  did Pentecostalism start? It stemmed from Christian Fundamentalism which  was started because of the rise of Liberalism and Progressive  Christianity. This is deep! There wasn’t a simple answer! I’m going to try to explain all this in terms that a lay person —  someone who is not an ordained minister or has gone to seminary — can  understand. As a lay person myself, I had to sit through a few videos  (which I’ve embedded below), from some of my favorite Christian  resources, to get a grasp on how all of this developed. I remember when I was on my spiritual journey getting to know Jesus,  I was stumped at the time by all the “Christianese”, or “churchy  words”. Because of that, I’m going to create a Glossary of Christian  Terms, as a page here on my site, where I will define all these churchy  words to hopefully clear up many misconceptions. Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and videos at the bottom with more information.... If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
