Different denominations have certain beliefs that differ from other denominations or from non-denominational churches. That's why they are different denominations. Non-denominational churches do not all share the same beliefs.

So all you have is opinion and no experience in the truth...according to Jesus.
I would remind you that some of us, certainly including me, and I believe including Thrill, were christians for a good part of our lives.

No, I am judging based on the fact that we have no authoritative evidence of what Jesus thought or said. He personally left no written record. What you are relying on is second or third hand, at best.

His definition sounds pretty accurate to me.

No, other people said Jesus said that.

Because when you quote scripture, from a book I rejected several years ago, it has little meaning to me.

I doubt very much that if I started quoting Buddhist scriptures that you would suddenly become a Buddhist.

For a couple of decades I wanted to know the truth. Oops. No revelation.

You don't believe in faith alone? You aren't a trinitarian? Non denominational churches do have beliefs that main sects have.

That doesn't mean you did what Jesus said to do. Most denominations teach faith alone to get saved. Is that what you did? Faith alone can't save anyone. Jesus saves those who obey him and that is to whom he reveals himself.

John 14:21 The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."
