  • TBN is a strange mix of churches. Some are good, Catholic and Orthodox. Some are nuts like Benny Hinn, and some are just strange, like the over-made up, wigged woman (can't remember her name). Some people think Orthodox and catholic monks who li…
  • I was always wondering what Benny Hinn classified himself as. I know he's some type of Christian, because he always talks about Jeuss, but does anyone know what specific denomination? Benny Hinn is non-denominational but his theology is penteco…

  • As for our church, our church is orthodox, which means that we took the teachings from our fathers the apostles, and they didn't change throughout history, we always kept the basic teachings. We christians who are not of the Orthodox church,base al…
  • That goes to show that Christianity is truly the correct religion. As for which sect of Christianity; I seldom hear of any miracles that take place unless its in an orthodox church. You need to get out more,or explore the web if you dont hear about…

  • Yes ,baptism is very important!But if you do not take the scriptures out of context and read the New Testament in its entirety,you will see that while baptism is commanded by God and is very important,it is acctually our faith that justifies us befo…
