No, I would not. The reason being is bc the Word of God says for us not to be unequally yoked. True, some people get together and actually pull the other one to the "right" side, however, that's not always the case. Also, I'd just rather be with someone who believes the way that I do, and allow the Lord to lead us. Can't go wrong with Jesus in the front anyway. To each his own, but not me.
No I can’t I’m Baptist I believe we must be equally yoked... and I also heard that Adam had a first wife which is now considered the wife of the devil of something her name start with a L lith or something. And personally if scripture doesn’t back it up I don’t believe it period
I wouldn't date and marry outside my faith, however, you can date and marry within your denomination and still be unequally yoked. Is that person growing in their faith? Are they hungry for the word and presence of God in their life. I've seen young girls date saying that the guy believes in a "higher power." Well.....that power has a name. If they can't say Jesus is Lord, that's a problem.
Sissy B, I absolutely love your reply. I agree 100%. In my comment, I mentioned being unequally yoked, and when i said it, I meant outside my faith, as opposed to denomination. You're so right. U can definitely be unequally yoked and be in the same denomination. Right on sis!
AND I loathe when people always refer to their God and absolutely NEVER say Jesus' name! Who u talkin bout here? Buddha, Jack, Leon, John...who? Say Jesus already!
I'm so glad you are talking about this. As a Christian I want against my conscience and tried to start a relationship with a Muslim. That was the worst thing I ever did. I'm still praying that God removes some of the things the guy was telling me. The story you told about Eve sleeping with the serpent was one of the ones he told me and still messes with me to this day! Everyone please be careful about guarding your ear gates while dating. Satan is using whom ever he can to in these last days to shake your faith! 🙏🏽
Being Christian is not enough for me we need to have the same level of revelation unless God leads me otherwise ….being a Christian willing to walk and live according to God principles is a must…
In my experience dating someone outside of my denomination, discussions about our future in particular became increasingly difficult. So I presume it was less about the denomination in itself, but more about the counsel, personal study, and revelation. Our conflict primarily stemmed from our differing doctrinal perspectives, and on a very popular topic… “once saved always saved” vs “losing your salvation”. It ultimately came down to how I intend to raise my children to understand salvation according to the Bible, and our thoughts just never aligned, and neither of us felt convicted to change our viewpoints. As someone who desires to do ministry with my husband in the future, I know the truth of the unadulterated Gospel is a non-negotiable. We certainly cannot walk together unless we agree.
Jewish Roots and Saturday Sabbath keepers: I feel like they make it very difficult for the rest of us to keep relationships with them even in friendship circles.

One time a Pr said people that say I’m leaving the church but not leaving God are saying the biggest lie.. another Pr told someone to their face you are going to Hell because you don’t come to that church or certain church.. they train their members to think Everuone that left the church went to live in the world and sin which is so wrong! May God help us and thanks for speaking on this
That preacher is probably deceived and heading to Hell himself. We have to be careful trying to be God, because those people will make it in and he won’t lol
@@GodlyDating101 yeah I recently decided to leave that church cause they make everyone feel like that is the only Church God is in and if you don’t go there you won’t make heaven
To answer your ending question, I am non-denominational, and I want to date someone who is also non-denominational. BUT we need to both agree on biblical principles.. things that are directly in the Bible 😭. If a man who is apart of a specific denomination was interested in me, I would be interested in having conversations to see their beliefs just to hear it, but I still wouldn’t date/marry them bc if they are FIRM in whatever their denomination believes it’ll just be a no for me.. Because there are no denominations in the Bible.
i have had this struggle being seventhday adventsist and dating someone from another denomination plus living in the western world, has been the most difficult thing ever! thank you for this
I am a 7th day adventist as well. Our single guys are courting with women outside the church. They find sunday keepers more worthy to spend sabbath with than us. They are trying to bring them into the church so they can be equally yoked.
I think dating outside biblical standards is the question. I have seen some people that identify with a certain denomination have similar beliefs as another. I also have seen people within the same denomination have varying views. So what matters is what does the Word of God say and do each of you believe it. Traditions- what are you both willing to agree on? And how do you plan on raising a family? But MOST of all pray because even when people say everything you want to hear, the Holy Ghost will she’s light on what needs to be seen.
Great video! Being equally yoked spiritually is so important. We have to ask deep questions when dating. Too many people adjusting the Bible to fit their morals, when God tells us don’t add or take from His word! Too many people so influenced by politics that they ignore what the Word of God says.
My boyfriend attends a Baptist church and I go to a nondenominational one. Our foundations of faith are the same but of course our upbringings were completely different, and when I visited his church for the first time I was kind of culture-shocked in a way but it wasn't bad or wrong, just different than what I was used to and same thing for him when he visited my church. To us, it doesn't matter what "denomination" we are because as long as we're learning the true Bible, that's what matters. We're all family in Christ.
great video. To me it is a problem, because union/unity and marriage is important and the children will be watching if their parents agree. The worst thing a parent can give their children is a divided house. That child may be forced to find their own truth, because the parents are not sure. My take is if someone is trying to get to know you or court and they said they care about you, they should tell you the truth about themselves and one should also do their research about those beliefs because if someone say they love you but does not tell you who they are before you commit : that is not love.
I saw this question in a FB group yesterday and I was disappointed at how many people were saying that it shouldn't matter and you should just go by "core beliefs." But my core beliefs IS my faith and if you're not going in the same vein then we will have problems. Like what if I married someone and we have kids and one kid has a terminal illness. My faith is in God's Word that by His stripes my child is healed and this does not have to end in death. But if my husband is like oh well if it's God's will to heal then our child will be healed. NO, there is no if. God's will according to His Word is healing so I need someone who believes the same so that our faith isn't being lopsided. And it would be even worse if my husband doesn't even believe in healing to begin with b/c his faith said that healing died with the apostles. Sorry but we can't hang. Or even something more simple like tithing. I have tithed since I was old enough to ever get money, but if I meet someone who's like oh I don't tithe, that's old covenant. Or oh I just tithe when I feel I can afford it... Sorry but no. I can't be with someone who will ultimately result in me having to compromise. I've been there and done that with people who actually weren't Christian. Someone coming along now claiming to be Christian won't be any different b/c the past couple years have shown now more than ever where people's faith truly lies and that appearances mean literally nothing. What was also sad was someone commented in that group "don't be surprised when the dating pool becomes that much smaller for you..." Who God has for me isn't gonna be for everyone else, he'll be for ME. So let the pool shrink as if it hasn't been shrinking the past 2 years anyway. All that means is that I'll be using my faith all the more to believe for who God promised me and when he arrives I'll know for a fact and without a shadow of a doubt that it's God. *Steps off soapbox*
I think as long as you and your significant other/potential significant other has prayed about it and talked to God about it, then if it's meant to be it will come to be. If not, then it won't come to pass
Someone who’s using “once saved, always saved” to justify their sin probably isn’t saved, but I don’t believe that some who has truly put their trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior can lose their salvation or remain in unrepentant sin. God will not lose those He has saved.
Amen, I respect that view for sure. I just believe we word it wrong. God isn't losing anything in His hands, but we can have free will to turn away from Him.. Bible speaks of a falling away, that is going to happen in the church.
@@GodlyDating101 I actually don’t like the term “once saved, always saved” so I agree that it’s worded wrong. I prefer eternal security. God will finish what he started. Blessings brother, keep up the good work!
This came right on time! I was talking to someone for over a year, he didn’t believe in Christianity: however he believed in the Bible. He was a Hebrew Israelite doctrine. Yes we shared a lot of conversations about the Bible; however there were certain things I could not accept. For example having more than one wife; polygamy. I definitely agree; it can cause some disagreements.
💯% ESPECIALLY in the world we live in today boy!!! Alot of folks taking God's word crazy out of context and i'm just like...what in the world?!!😲 We have to make sure axactly what they believe about the Word and about Jesus coz half of people got me bent over several barrels with regards to WHAT they believe! I'm glad you made this video Mr. Grey coz alot of people are going astray becoz of this. We MUST be equally yoked.
Before this video, I didn’t feel like there was too many differences between denominations. I grew up Baptist. When I went to college I visited a baptist church and it felt like home but then there was drama with the pastor. A lot of people left and I felt I had to as well. I started attending a different church because I’ve heard so much about it. I didn’t know what denomination it was and didn’t care tbh. Turns out it’s nondenominational and I love it there. There is prayer, worship, the word, baptism, and they take communion all the things that my baptist church did I grew up in. So now I’m not big on saying “I’m baptist”. Honey I am a child of God who just wants to praise and please him daily. At the end of the day some things are just common sense.
This is really needed. I have dated Christians in different denominations and have found that some denominations have different beliefs, values, moral standards at the foundation of their denominations.
In regards to the "serpent seed doctrine" I don't find any biblical evidence of that, but just seems to another interpretation trying to be molded to fit someone's false theology.
I don't agree with the idea of denominations in the first place. We are all under One Shepard and we are all His sheep. We should interpret the bible by what the person who wrote it meant, not by what we who read it want it to mean. This is why we have the Holy Spirit. I do however think that it is important to not only be with someone with the same biblical understanding as you but you should also be friends with those people as well. We become like who we hang out around, and we need to be influenced by people who read the bible and understand it with the Holy Spirit.
thank you so much Tovares for approaching wisely this question! To me,it seems like there are as much christian denominations as debate/able topics! (clothes,food,lifestyle,jewelry,hair,nature of Jesus,laws,life after death,values,ect) Honestly,clearly dating someone in a different denomination is a problem to me because just the day of worship is a deal breaker😕. (I am a SDA church member).
Great video! I say this all the time “2 people with different denominations may or may not survive a relationship/marriage. 15:38 Amen! I love what you said! 🙌🏽
In regards to the comment that there are no denominations in the Bible, I agree. In Romans 16:16 and 1 Corinthians 1:2, the Church is either referred to as the church of Christ or the church of God. We do have to use discretion when dating outside of a denomination. It’s not only a matter of having a different interpretation of the Bible, it may be that someone has a practice, or belief, that is undeniably unbiblical.
I met someone who told me he doesnt belong to a church or small group fellowship. He was upset that it was a deal breaker for me. I just didnt thnk it was wise to start a relationship with someone that thought small group fellowship or church membership was irrelevant. How are you a christian and you dont think church is necessary?
Formerly dated an apostolic girl and tho we agreed on the essentials, we used to argue so much over the non essentials being I considered myself more of non-denominational bcuz of what you said basically the bible doesn't mention them. When someone asks what denomination I always answer with ima "Biblical" Christian lol
My issue is that I grew up in a holiness denomination and I don’t even agree with some of the stuff I’ve been taught. I was taught that wearing pants were a sin and Christian perfectionism. I’ve been asking God for discernment but I’ve still been struggling with this. Any advice?
This is a good conversation starter, Tovares. I’ve found that with this topic it’s always good to speak to an old Christian couple who have been married long to get advice from them, as a young adult I learn a lot from them. Anyways, I’m glad there are people who are strongly convicted in their beliefs by the look of the comments :-) Here are just a fraction of my thoughts: while I believe I’m maturing in my beliefs, I don’t think anyone, regardless of which denomination they belong to and how mature their beliefs and spiritual life is, is immune from being deceived. Secondly, I don’t know if anyone will ever be with someone who’s 100% on the same page as them belief-wise, so apart from me being set on my beliefs and expectations in that regard, I know that I will need Holy Spirit to help me discern whether my choice to start going on dates with a brother, courting him and marrying him would be the most right choice lol. Best advice a married person has ever given me about marriage in general is to mange my expectations and that when you do get married you realise just how much more you need Jesus🙏 We have the freedom to choose whomever but my ultimate goal is to develop a marriage that is fruitful long-term, for it to bless others as much as we serve one another. So, denomination is just one part of a couple of discussions that need to be had. You’ll find that there are many more that will happen after marriage. God bless!
Overall, I agree when thinking of an Apostolic and a Presbyterian, but there are soooo many denominations and many have no or very subtle differences. Someone that’s holiness Pentecostal can prob marry someone that’s COGIC. Soooo many other examples of this. I think it’s more important to be on the page thing about the major topics. Ex. Who you say Jesus is, etc.
I’m a Sikh girl dating a man who is very Christian. I’m not religious but he is. How can I support him in his faith? We already are different cultures and different races (I’m Indian he’s black). But this religious difference seems to be the hardest. I really don’t want to break up because of our different faiths.
I agree with everything because Muslims may believe in God but their beliefs are completely different. They believe in Allah and the Quaran and so many other things that I just can't see myself succumbing to. And I believe in everything that comes with God so you can't just really nit pick what you choose to believe. Spiritual maturity is definitely a thing, and when u decide to not compromise your relationship with God, for things that are not of him, then you're definitely on the right track ❤.
Ive never heard of that doctrine, but I feel if it's not literally scripture, not in the bible, and God didn't decree it, then I'm not with it. I go by and believe in the living word, that's it and that's all. Lol
I think the problem is we are still living that religious of spirit, we are not living truth of the gospel, we’re making are own religion and we’re not walking in truth. I know this church said that eating lucky charms is from the devil😂..just some wild things that are not at all bibical
It’s refreshing that you don’t think only ppl in your denomination will make it to heaven. I honestly didn’t expect that. 💜 OAN: I’ve heard too that heels were not modest and women shouldn’t wear them. A bit much to me…Just like when they say boys can’t wear shorts. 🤦🏾♀️
I think God is bigger than the box we put Him in. I won't agree with everyone, but I don't dismiss them. I just leave them to God, because arguing has converted no one.
Been there done that, it not going to work! It every important you guys get the same teaching and he bears the fruit of the spirit!!! Because some people go to church but there motives are all wrong. Also make sure you guys are on the same level spiritually, even if you go to same church. I seen two people go to the same church she was more spiritual inclined with God but when he married her he brought her down and where she got out of position and still not in position. So you have to discern and pray to God before you marry someone. It important you get the ok from God and get the ok from your spiritual parents because people can see what you dont see. Make sure the person you marry is God fearing, full of the Fruit of spirit, has character and morals this is what matters. I'm telling going to church don't mean nothing!!!
1 Peter 3:3-4".......but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, ...." Some heels don't portray this.
Now what happens if the guy is a man of God but the problem is he is undocumented and i have heard stories that once a citizen marries someone who is undocumented, they get banned from the U.S. for at least 10 years now this guy and i have not dated but he expressed his interest in me, so should i wait for someone else and move on? Now while we were messaging each other he did mention you will know if we date if I am playing around or not
We don't intentionally date from the beginning until we are intentional and know the facts. It has worked for others and it has failed for others. Dating different denominations is okay 👍 atleast it's the same umbrella 🌂 as long as they are using the word of God then no issues with that but there's other underlying issues we cannot see because we are all flawed and it's hard to deal with people. Living peacefully is hard because we are all different . You spoke about different denominations but what about different religions? Do you think it's wrong?
It's a bad thing to start a relationship with someone from a different denomination. Even GOD HIMSELF warned Solomon in 1 Kings 11:1-2 "Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2 from the nations of which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate[marry] with them, nor shall they associate[marry] with you; they will certainly turn your heart away to follow their gods.”
I think the text you posted from kings 11 talks about different faiths not different denomination. protestant and catholic still believe in Jesus being God. Other faiths believe in different God than the God of the bible.
@@MrTahref Catholic along with many other trinitarian believers believe that Jesus is 1 of 3 person in the "godhead" but the scripture declares that Jesus is the "Everlasting father" Isaiah 9:6 and "In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead" Colossians 2:9 Jesus isnt 1 of 3 in a trinity, but ALL the Godhead(Alpha, Omega, Beginning, Ending, First, last, Wonderful, counselor, THE MIGHT GOD) is in Christ! It's amazing brother
I dated a "catholic" guy... now my childs father... and everytime I would tell him I'm a luthren, he would bash and bash and bash, and he would tell me how we suck, and how catholic is better, and all that, and I mean... I was baptized luthren, but I didnt know jesus... so I would ask him questions about his faith, and he would basically convert me to catholic, he wanted me to be catholic to marry him, just like his mother , so... I mean... it was horrible..
Hiii now that you talked about baptism I was baptize as a teen years ago in some part I did understand why I did it but not has much as I do now and after that I left felt to sin for like 8 years and I reconciled with the Lord a year ago. Should I get baptize again or am I good!? My Pastor thinks that is fine-ish like God won't mind but im looking for more opinions. 😊
Genuine question: When does someone receive the Holy Spirit?? I’m non-denominational.. I’ve been water baptized, but I’m not sure on when Holy Spirit Baptism occurs. Does it occur once we repent & accept Christ as Lord and Savior? Or once we’ve done that and been water baptized? I’m looking up scripture about this but this question just came to mind & I’m curious what your answer is. Thank you!
Hey! Read Acts 2, all of it, to get context, but when you first believed Jesus is the Son of God, confessed this belief, repented of your sins and were baptized (water submersion) you died to your old life and to sin and was raised again in Christ Jesus. You received the gift of the Holy Spirit when you responded by faith (Acts 2:37-38). Also ready Romans 6, all of it, but especially verses 1-11. Also read 1 John 4:2, “This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.” 1 John 4:2 NLT And finally read Galatians 4:1-7, 5:22-23. The fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life is shown by how you love others, with patience and gentleness. As you grow in your relationship with God, the Holy Spirit’s presence will become more and more noticeable, you just have to have ears to hear Him and a heart to receive His guidance and direction ❤
I enjoyed this video and agree that we should marry someone who we can see eye to eye with. Also I believe in the Serpent’s seed and I liked the video don’t worry😂I believe it’s supported by scripture
I don’t agree with it but I have heard many say this and I was asking where I’m the scripture does it support this because I read my Bible and Iv never read anything like this
@@Standingfirmly1 yeah it’s not literally written in the Bible that Eve slept with the serpent, but we believe it’s written in the Bible symbolically. For example we believe that when Eve ate of the fruit it’s referring to Eve sleeping with the serpent. I think it also helps us to see why Jesus came through a virgin birth.
I would date someone in another denomination as long he believe Jesus is Lord and believes that the name of Father, Son, and HolyGhost is Jesus. Act2:38. They have been baptized in the HolyGhost according to Acts 2. I know the depth of being evenly yoke and spiritual warfare. I can not be with someone who isn’t HolyGhost filled according to Acts 2 along with baptism of water. I’ve dealt with too many spirits on men that are not filled with the HolyGhost. Along with the fruits of the spirit as well. People can be filled with the power of the HolyGhost and not exercise that. I saw a video of a deliverance and an unclean spirit reveal that the way they keep churches bound was because they don’t believe the baptism of the HolyGhost that gives ALL Christians boldens and spiritual gifts to cast out demons! Which is according to scripture when there were Jewish Excorist in the town and they tried to cast out demons but got beat up because the demons did not identify them (The HolyGhost). Y’all can play around if y’all want too. There are many believers walking around not equipped being baptized in the spirit is the next step in directions that John the Baptist and the other Apostles pushed. All Christians do not have the power of the HolyGhost. Read Acts 19, Apollos was preaching the Word of God with women but Paul ask him has he been baptized in HolyGhost. Apollos said I haven’t heard of the no Ghost. Paul told him he had to baptized in Jesus name and be filled with the HolyGhost and he was! Apollos was baptized of John the Baptism, BUT he still had to baptized in Jesus name and still was baptized of the HolyGhost even though he was preaching! You cannot enter into the Kingdom of God without being baptized of water and spirit! The baptism of water and spirit are two different things. You don’t need to be Cogic, Apostolic or Pentecostal to have this revelation.

Our foundations of faith are the same but of course our upbringings were completely different, and when I visited his church for the first time I was kind of culture-shocked in a way but it wasn't bad or wrong, just different than what I was used to and same thing for him when he visited my church. To us, it doesn't matter what "denomination" we are because as long as we're learning the true Bible, that's what matters. We're all family in Christ.
Amen, yes bro! Speak Acts 2:38! The people need to hear it
One way!
Truth vs. tradition is soooo good!
great video. To me it is a problem, because union/unity and marriage is important and the children will be watching if their parents agree. The worst thing a parent can give their children is a divided house. That child may be forced to find their own truth, because the parents are not sure. My take is if someone is trying to get to know you or court and they said they care about you, they should tell you the truth about themselves and one should also do their research about those beliefs because if someone say they love you but does not tell you who they are before you commit : that is not love.
I saw this question in a FB group yesterday and I was disappointed at how many people were saying that it shouldn't matter and you should just go by "core beliefs." But my core beliefs IS my faith and if you're not going in the same vein then we will have problems. Like what if I married someone and we have kids and one kid has a terminal illness. My faith is in God's Word that by His stripes my child is healed and this does not have to end in death. But if my husband is like oh well if it's God's will to heal then our child will be healed. NO, there is no if. God's will according to His Word is healing so I need someone who believes the same so that our faith isn't being lopsided. And it would be even worse if my husband doesn't even believe in healing to begin with b/c his faith said that healing died with the apostles. Sorry but we can't hang. Or even something more simple like tithing. I have tithed since I was old enough to ever get money, but if I meet someone who's like oh I don't tithe, that's old covenant. Or oh I just tithe when I feel I can afford it... Sorry but no. I can't be with someone who will ultimately result in me having to compromise. I've been there and done that with people who actually weren't Christian. Someone coming along now claiming to be Christian won't be any different b/c the past couple years have shown now more than ever where people's faith truly lies and that appearances mean literally nothing. What was also sad was someone commented in that group "don't be surprised when the dating pool becomes that much smaller for you..." Who God has for me isn't gonna be for everyone else, he'll be for ME. So let the pool shrink as if it hasn't been shrinking the past 2 years anyway. All that means is that I'll be using my faith all the more to believe for who God promised me and when he arrives I'll know for a fact and without a shadow of a doubt that it's God.
*Steps off soapbox*
So much insight!!!!! I love this.
Wooooooow‼️🔥
CONFIRMATION!!! THANK YOU MAN OF GOD FOR YOUR OBEDIENCE TO SHARE TRUTH!
I think as long as you and your significant other/potential significant other has prayed about it and talked to God about it, then if it's meant to be it will come to be. If not, then it won't come to pass
Someone who’s using “once saved, always saved” to justify their sin probably isn’t saved, but I don’t believe that some who has truly put their trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior can lose their salvation or remain in unrepentant sin. God will not lose those He has saved.
Amen, I respect that view for sure. I just believe we word it wrong. God isn't losing anything in His hands, but we can have free will to turn away from Him.. Bible speaks of a falling away, that is going to happen in the church.
@@GodlyDating101 I actually don’t like the term “once saved, always saved” so I agree that it’s worded wrong. I prefer eternal security. God will finish what he started. Blessings brother, keep up the good work!
This came right on time! I was talking to someone for over a year, he didn’t believe in Christianity: however he believed in the Bible. He was a Hebrew Israelite doctrine. Yes we shared a lot of conversations about the Bible; however there were certain things I could not accept. For example having more than one wife; polygamy. I definitely agree; it can cause some disagreements.
💯% ESPECIALLY in the world we live in today boy!!! Alot of folks taking God's word crazy out of context and i'm just like...what in the world?!!😲 We have to make sure axactly what they believe about the Word and about Jesus coz half of people got me bent over several barrels with regards to WHAT they believe! I'm glad you made this video Mr. Grey coz alot of people are going astray becoz of this. We MUST be equally yoked.
So necessary to know truth for yourself!
There are great differences in truth vs tradition... TRUTH SIR!
This is something that I considered recently. Thank you for this!
Before this video, I didn’t feel like there was too many differences between denominations. I grew up Baptist. When I went to college I visited a baptist church and it felt like home but then there was drama with the pastor. A lot of people left and I felt I had to as well. I started attending a different church because I’ve heard so much about it. I didn’t know what denomination it was and didn’t care tbh. Turns out it’s nondenominational and I love it there. There is prayer, worship, the word, baptism, and they take communion all the things that my baptist church did I grew up in. So now I’m not big on saying “I’m baptist”. Honey I am a child of God who just wants to praise and please him daily. At the end of the day some things are just common sense.
GREAT message! Praying it doesn’t fall on deaf ears 🙏🏽
This is really needed. I have dated Christians in different denominations and have found that some denominations have different beliefs, values, moral standards at the foundation of their denominations.
In regards to the "serpent seed doctrine" I don't find any biblical evidence of that, but just seems to another interpretation trying to be molded to fit someone's false theology.
Pushing their own thoughts into the text.
I read somewhere “arguing is converted” WHEW!!!!!! This channel is helping me as a single woman!!!!!!
Bless you! May we all keep growing
I don't agree with the idea of denominations in the first place. We are all under One Shepard and we are all His sheep. We should interpret the bible by what the person who wrote it meant, not by what we who read it want it to mean. This is why we have the Holy Spirit. I do however think that it is important to not only be with someone with the same biblical understanding as you but you should also be friends with those people as well. We become like who we hang out around, and we need to be influenced by people who read the bible and understand it with the Holy Spirit.
thank you so much Tovares for approaching wisely this question! To me,it seems like there are as much christian denominations as debate/able topics! (clothes,food,lifestyle,jewelry,hair,nature of Jesus,laws,life after death,values,ect) Honestly,clearly dating someone in a different denomination is a problem to me because just the day of worship is a deal breaker😕. (I am a SDA church member).
Great video! I say this all the time “2 people with different denominations may or may not survive a relationship/marriage.
15:38 Amen! I love what you said! 🙌🏽
In regards to the comment that there are no denominations in the Bible, I agree. In Romans 16:16 and 1 Corinthians 1:2, the Church is either referred to as the church of Christ or the church of God. We do have to use discretion when dating outside of a denomination. It’s not only a matter of having a different interpretation of the Bible, it may be that someone has a practice, or belief, that is undeniably unbiblical.
I met someone who told me he doesnt belong to a church or small group fellowship. He was upset that it was a deal breaker for me. I just didnt thnk it was wise to start a relationship with someone that thought small group fellowship or church membership was irrelevant. How are you a christian and you dont think church is necessary?
You made the right decision.
Exactly .. Church is necessary likeee fellowship?? You did make the right decision
Thanks for saying this some form of small group or fellowship is necessary!
Thank you so much Tovares!! and I think before dating make sure the person is rooted in the word of God!!
Formerly dated an apostolic girl and tho we agreed on the essentials, we used to argue so much over the non essentials being I considered myself more of non-denominational bcuz of what you said basically the bible doesn't mention them. When someone asks what denomination I always answer with ima "Biblical" Christian lol
Hahahaha I feel you bro! At this point, all of our labels have issues. Focus more on scripture and less of tradition.
“Biblical” Christian’s are usually more nit picky and strict (like Apostolic) so you’re probably a progressive Christian.
My issue is that I grew up in a holiness denomination and I don’t even agree with some of the stuff I’ve been taught. I was taught that wearing pants were a sin and Christian perfectionism. I’ve been asking God for discernment but I’ve still been struggling with this. Any advice?
This is really good stuff. So many gems in this episode. 🔥
This is a good conversation starter, Tovares. I’ve found that with this topic it’s always good to speak to an old Christian couple who have been married long to get advice from them, as a young adult I learn a lot from them. Anyways, I’m glad there are people who are strongly convicted in their beliefs by the look of the comments :-) Here are just a fraction of my thoughts: while I believe I’m maturing in my beliefs, I don’t think anyone, regardless of which denomination they belong to and how mature their beliefs and spiritual life is, is immune from being deceived. Secondly, I don’t know if anyone will ever be with someone who’s 100% on the same page as them belief-wise, so apart from me being set on my beliefs and expectations in that regard, I know that I will need Holy Spirit to help me discern whether my choice to start going on dates with a brother, courting him and marrying him would be the most right choice lol. Best advice a married person has ever given me about marriage in general is to mange my expectations and that when you do get married you realise just how much more you need Jesus🙏
We have the freedom to choose whomever but my ultimate goal is to develop a marriage that is fruitful long-term, for it to bless others as much as we serve one another. So, denomination is just one part of a couple of discussions that need to be had. You’ll find that there are many more that will happen after marriage. God bless!
Overall, I agree when thinking of an Apostolic and a Presbyterian, but there are soooo many denominations and many have no or very subtle differences. Someone that’s holiness Pentecostal can prob marry someone that’s COGIC. Soooo many other examples of this. I think it’s more important to be on the page thing about the major topics. Ex. Who you say Jesus is, etc.
I’m a Sikh girl dating a man who is very Christian. I’m not religious but he is. How can I support him in his faith? We already are different cultures and different races (I’m Indian he’s black). But this religious difference seems to be the hardest. I really don’t want to break up because of our different faiths.
I agree with everything because Muslims may believe in God but their beliefs are completely different. They believe in Allah and the Quaran and so many other things that I just can't see myself succumbing to. And I believe in everything that comes with God so you can't just really nit pick what you choose to believe. Spiritual maturity is definitely a thing, and when u decide to not compromise your relationship with God, for things that are not of him, then you're definitely on the right track ❤.
I am a 7th day sabbath keeper. So i couldnt court with a sunday keeper.
Ive never heard of that doctrine, but I feel if it's not literally scripture, not in the bible, and God didn't decree it, then I'm not with it. I go by and believe in the living word, that's it and that's all. Lol
People invent things everyday sis lol
We worried about labels than what God views on relationships!!! This was good! Omg
Hey just wanna say I appreciate you covering up your muscles.
Really like the message as well.
I think the problem is we are still living that religious of spirit, we are not living truth of the gospel, we’re making are own religion and we’re not walking in truth. I know this church said that eating lucky charms is from the devil😂..just some wild things that are not at all bibical
Really Lucky Charms? 💀💀💀
Dang..I love the marshmallows 😂😂
He teaching!
It’s refreshing that you don’t think only ppl in your denomination will make it to heaven. I honestly didn’t expect that. 💜
OAN: I’ve heard too that heels were not modest and women shouldn’t wear them. A bit much to me…Just like when they say boys can’t wear shorts. 🤦🏾♀️
I think God is bigger than the box we put Him in. I won't agree with everyone, but I don't dismiss them. I just leave them to God, because arguing has converted no one.
You really came out swinging😂😂 but all facts!! Love this sound view on these topics!
Eye opening episode..thank you
I fully agree with you
Been there done that, it not going to work! It every important you guys get the same teaching and he bears the fruit of the spirit!!! Because some people go to church but there motives are all wrong. Also make sure you guys are on the same level spiritually, even if you go to same church. I seen two people go to the same church she was more spiritual inclined with God but when he married her he brought her down and where she got out of position and still not in position. So you have to discern and pray to God before you marry someone. It important you get the ok from God and get the ok from your spiritual parents because people can see what you dont see. Make sure the person you marry is God fearing, full of the Fruit of spirit, has character and morals this is what matters. I'm telling going to church don't mean nothing!!!
What do you mean "some believers are not saved" sir?
Baptism is like the Lord's Supper. It's symbolic. And Jesus took part in both
1 Peter 3:3-4".......but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, ...." Some heels don't portray this.
I agree some things can look seductive or inappropriate, but for the most part, that is subjective. We can’t just write heels off altogether.
Now what happens if the guy is a man of God but the problem is he is undocumented and i have heard stories that once a citizen marries someone who is undocumented, they get banned from the U.S. for at least 10 years now this guy and i have not dated but he expressed his interest in me, so should i wait for someone else and move on? Now while we were messaging each other he did mention you will know if we date if I am playing around or not
We don't intentionally date from the beginning until we are intentional and know the facts. It has worked for others and it has failed for others. Dating different denominations is okay 👍 atleast it's the same umbrella 🌂 as long as they are using the word of God then no issues with that but there's other underlying issues we cannot see because we are all flawed and it's hard to deal with people. Living peacefully is hard because we are all different . You spoke about different denominations but what about different religions? Do you think it's wrong?
It's a bad thing to start a relationship with someone from a different denomination. Even GOD HIMSELF warned Solomon in 1 Kings 11:1-2
"Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2 from the nations of which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate[marry] with them, nor shall they associate[marry] with you; they will certainly turn your heart away to follow their gods.”
I think the text you posted from kings 11 talks about different faiths not different denomination. protestant and catholic still believe in Jesus being God. Other faiths believe in different God than the God of the bible.
@@MrTahref Ah, I had a wrong definition. I was suppose to quote the NT Apostles. Thank you!
@@MrTahref Catholic along with many other trinitarian believers believe that Jesus is 1 of 3 person in the "godhead" but the scripture declares that Jesus is the "Everlasting father" Isaiah 9:6 and "In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead" Colossians 2:9
Jesus isnt 1 of 3 in a trinity, but ALL the Godhead(Alpha, Omega, Beginning, Ending, First, last, Wonderful, counselor, THE MIGHT GOD) is in Christ! It's amazing brother
I dated a "catholic" guy... now my childs father... and everytime I would tell him I'm a luthren, he would bash and bash and bash, and he would tell me how we suck, and how catholic is better, and all that, and I mean... I was baptized luthren, but I didnt know jesus... so I would ask him questions about his faith, and he would basically convert me to catholic, he wanted me to be catholic to marry him, just like his mother , so... I mean... it was horrible..
Hiii now that you talked about baptism I was baptize as a teen years ago in some part I did understand why I did it but not has much as I do now and after that I left felt to sin for like 8 years and I reconciled with the Lord a year ago. Should I get baptize again or am I good!? My Pastor thinks that is fine-ish like God won't mind but im looking for more opinions. 😊

Genuine question: When does someone receive the Holy Spirit?? I’m non-denominational.. I’ve been water baptized, but I’m not sure on when Holy Spirit Baptism occurs. Does it occur once we repent & accept Christ as Lord and Savior? Or once we’ve done that and been water baptized? I’m looking up scripture about this but this question just came to mind & I’m curious what your answer is. Thank you!
Hey! Read Acts 2, all of it, to get context, but when you first believed Jesus is the Son of God, confessed this belief, repented of your sins and were baptized (water submersion) you died to your old life and to sin and was raised again in Christ Jesus. You received the gift of the Holy Spirit when you responded by faith (Acts 2:37-38). Also ready Romans 6, all of it, but especially verses 1-11. Also read 1 John 4:2,
“This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”
1 John 4:2 NLT
And finally read Galatians 4:1-7, 5:22-23. The fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life is shown by how you love others, with patience and gentleness. As you grow in your relationship with God, the Holy Spirit’s presence will become more and more noticeable, you just have to have ears to hear Him and a heart to receive His guidance and direction ❤
@@rae-rae8726 thanks so much 💕
Awesome
This was good!
I enjoyed this video and agree that we should marry someone who we can see eye to eye with. Also I believe in the Serpent’s seed and I liked the video don’t worry😂I believe it’s supported by scripture
Iv heard this also where in scripture does it support this ??
Genesis 4:1 said she conceived because of Adam though. So what makes you all view it that way?
I don’t agree with it but I have heard many say this and I was asking where I’m the scripture does it support this because I read my Bible and Iv never read anything like this
@@Standingfirmly1 yeah it’s not literally written in the Bible that Eve slept with the serpent, but we believe it’s written in the Bible symbolically. For example we believe that when Eve ate of the fruit it’s referring to Eve sleeping with the serpent. I think it also helps us to see why Jesus came through a virgin birth.
@@ngombamarie.m 🤨 umm I’m gonna have to respectfully say that doesn’t make sense lol but Ok we can agree to disagree
I would date someone in another denomination as long he believe Jesus is Lord and believes that the name of Father, Son, and HolyGhost is Jesus. Act2:38. They have been baptized in the HolyGhost according to Acts 2. I know the depth of being evenly yoke and spiritual warfare. I can not be with someone who isn’t HolyGhost filled according to Acts 2 along with baptism of water. I’ve dealt with too many spirits on men that are not filled with the HolyGhost. Along with the fruits of the spirit as well. People can be filled with the power of the HolyGhost and not exercise that.
I saw a video of a deliverance and an unclean spirit reveal that the way they keep churches bound was because they don’t believe the baptism of the HolyGhost that gives ALL Christians boldens and spiritual gifts to cast out demons! Which is according to scripture when there were Jewish Excorist in the town and they tried to cast out demons but got beat up because the demons did not identify them (The HolyGhost).
Y’all can play around if y’all want too. There are many believers walking around not equipped being baptized in the spirit is the next step in directions that John the Baptist and the other Apostles pushed. All Christians do not have the power of the HolyGhost. Read Acts 19, Apollos was preaching the Word of God with women but Paul ask him has he been baptized in HolyGhost. Apollos said I haven’t heard of the no Ghost. Paul told him he had to baptized in Jesus name and be filled with the HolyGhost and he was! Apollos was baptized of John the Baptism, BUT he still had to baptized in Jesus name and still was baptized of the HolyGhost even though he was preaching!
You cannot enter into the Kingdom of God without being baptized of water and spirit! The baptism of water and spirit are two different things. You don’t need to be Cogic, Apostolic or Pentecostal to have this revelation.
hahaha flirt to convert
Once
Genesis chapter 4 vs 1
Exactly. The Bible says she conceived after being with Adam, I am not sure how they interpreted it as sleeping with a serpent
@@GodlyDating101 I hear many ppl say this and it's simply ppl never read the the Bible they are only told what it says but this is why we need to study to show ourselves
