What do they believe then? He says he believes in the bible and God, etc. however, he does not have a denomination. Aren't you automatically put into a denomination by what you say, hear, study and believe? How can you say you believe all of this but not believe in a denomination when there aren't that many differences within Christianity? If you are being preached something, it has to follow a specific belief and denomination in my mind. It just happens, even it you don't intend it to be specific, it will still fall into the charecterization of a denomination.

I think you can believe but not be associated with anything. You don't need to go to church and have a man read the bible to you, you don't have to sing, you don't need communion. They are all man made items with no real affect on you as a person even if you think they do. You can stay in your home and pray if you want. If you think that "he" is out there then thats all you need. Besides, you should be glad that he is actually going to church, don't discriminate about what kind. Church is just a place to gather for people that believe, it doesn't matter in what.
