  • Which type of Christianity is the best?
  • It's hard to say because all of them have things that are really cool about them,
  • All these mainstream churches worship the same God
  • and agree on the essentials,
  • But there's differences in terms of how they worship God.
  • For example, the best thing about Baptists is their focus on personal faith in Jesus.
  • If you grew up going to church
  • that doesn't mean anything
  • unless you have a personal relationship with God,
  • And that's why they don't baptize babies.
  • because they think baptism needs to be a sign of a personal conversion experience.
  • They focus a lot on how Jesus changes people's lives
  • and because it's all about a personal relationship for them
  • they encourage a lot of individual Bible reading
  • and that's why Baptists are often the best at reading and memorizing scripture.
  • What's really great about Methodists is their service to others,
  • They believe that a true faith in Jesus must be spiritually active
  • and this looks like helping the poor and working for justice in the world.
  • Methodists believe that all Christians are soldiers for God's kingdom,
  • They use kingdom analogies for a lot of things
  • and that's why certain groups like the Salvation Army
  • which arose out of the Methodist tradition
  • use military analogies to describe their service to the poor.
  • According to Methodists
  • there's not much use for a personal belief unless you put it into action.
  • The best thing about Presbyterians is definitely not their dance moves
  • but it's their intellectual approach to the Christian faith.
  • Presbyterians believe God gave us brains for a reason
  • and intends for us to use them.
  • God wants us to use our brains to understand and worship God
  • and to study the things of God.
  • Because Presbyterians study God
  • they also like to study God's creation in the fields of math and science,
  • And this is why Presbyterians founded a lot of the most important universities
  • such as Princeton,
  • This is also why Presbyterians tried to create an intellectually stimulating worship environment,
  • If you visit a traditional Presbyterian church
  • you'll probably find a very formal and calm worship style
  • and maybe even an old church library.
  • Presbyterians are one of several types of Calvinist churches,
  • Dutch Reformed Christians agree with Presbyterians on almost everything
  • but arguably have an even more intellectual approach to theology.
  • Congregationalists are also similar to Presbyterians
  • but they have a bit more of a simple style
  • because they try to only focus on God
  • and get rid of any distractions,
  • They're descended from the Puritans
  • who talked all about God being in control over everything.
  • Something great about Lutherans is their focus on the Gospel,
  • They distinguish between the Law and the Gospel.
  • The Law says, do, and the Gospel says, done.
  • And it's the Gospel that brings salvation.
  • The Law is just there to show us why we need salvation.
  • So salvation is by faith alone
  • because there's nothing we can do to be saved.
  • Now, all Protestants agree on that point
  • but Lutherans believe that God actually gives us the gospel in the sacraments,
  • In a Lutheran church service
  • forgiveness of sins is proclaimed
  • and then actually given to people in the sacraments.
  • And that's why Lutheran churches always try to create a very sacred worship environment,
  • And let's be honest, they have the best music.
  • In fact, Martin Luther himself wrote a famous hymn about the forgiveness of sins
  • and I'm gonna sing that for you right now.
  • What's beautiful about the Catholic Church is the impact that it's had on the world,
  • Catholics believe the institution of the Church is the kingdom of God here on Earth
  • and it's the job of the Church to make Christianity visible to the rest of the world,
  • This is why the Catholic Church has founded some of the most important hospitals and universities,
  • They've created some of the best art and music
  • and your high school history teacher definitely wouldn't tell you this
  • but the thinkers of the medieval Catholic Church laid the groundwork for modern science.
  • To this day, the Catholic Church is the most charitable organization in the whole world
  • and they promote a lot of good morals as well.
  • What's cool about Anglicanism is
  • it takes the best aspects of other branches of Christianity,
  • It's sort of like a melting pot of different Christian traditions,
  • In an Anglican church
  • you can have a church that's as ornate and beautiful as a Catholic church
  • but then have a sermon that's as passionate as you'd find in a Protestant church.
  • The historical reason for this is when the Church of England was founded
  • it couldn't decide whether it was Catholic or Reformed
  • so it ended up kind of being a middle way between the two,
  • And to this day, there's a lot of diversity of belief
  • so some Anglicans seem more reformed
  • and some seem more Catholic.
  • What's great about the Eastern Orthodox Church is their reverence for tradition,
  • With all of the corruptions of the modern world,
  • It's great to see some people rejecting that and showcasing the beauty of tradition.
  • The reason they care about tradition so much is that
  • the Eastern Orthodox Church believes they have the faith handed down to them by the Apostles themselves,
  • That the Apostles started a fire
  • which the Church has kept going through the centuries
  • by holding to sacred tradition,
  • And you can see this anytime you walk into an Orthodox church.
  • You can see a deep connection to the past
  • literally plastered all over the walls,
  • The Orthodox have a tradition of painting icons on their domes
  • which is meant to show the great cloud of witnesses that have come before us and are now looking down on us from heaven.
  • What's beautiful about the Oriental Orthodox churches is how they've shown Christian humility and forgiveness throughout centuries of persecution.
  • They've spent most of their existence as islands of Christianity in a vast sea of Islam
  • and there's been a lot of persecution over the years
  • but this has refined their faith
  • just as a fire refines gold.
  • This is what the Bible says happens when Christians are persecuted
  • and this is why Oriental Orthodox Christians are some of the most kind and humble people you'll ever meet.
  • And although these churches are connected to each other,
  • They've developed separately over the centuries
  • which has caused them to have their own unique characteristics,
  • For example, the Coptic Church has the heritage of Saint Athanasius
  • who is arguably the most important saint for Christian theology,
  • The Armenian Apostolic Church comes from Armenia
  • which was the first country to make Christianity the state religion,
  • The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church supposedly has the real Ark of the Covenant
  • we're just not allowed to see it,
  • And the Syriac Orthodox Church
  • probably survived the most intense persecution
  • out of all of these groups,
  • Pentecostalism is best at focusing on the Holy Spirit
  • and this is important because
  • the Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who is talked about the least.
  • And that's a problem, because every aspect of faith is only done by the power of the Holy Spirit,
  • And Pentecostalism is the fastest growing form of Christianity
  • so maybe other Christians can learn something from that,
  • Moravian Christians focus a lot on being warriors for Christ,
  • Not a lot of people know about them
  • because they're a Protestant group that started before Martin Luther was even born,
  • They have a really cool slogan
  • they've done a lot of missions
  • and they also focus a lot on community.
  • The Assyrian Church of the East is another
  • more obscure Christian group because they've been cut off from the rest of Christianity for most of their history.
  • But what they've done over the years is
  • they've planted seeds of Christianity in non Christian lands,.
  • For example, they even brought Christianity to China as early as the six hundreds,
  • Now, some people wonder why Christianity is so divided
  • if it's the truth.
  • But, Christianity has spread over the entire world over the course of two thousand years
  • so we should expect to see a lot of diversity.
  • There's a reason why cults only have one version of them
  • because they don't actually have an impact on the world
  • and they're not able to develop naturally by interacting with the different cultures,
  • One way to look at it is that different denominations of Christianity are just different provinces of the Kingdom of God,
