Best Answer

The larger Christian denominations are : (in order of numerical size): Catholic (both Roman and Eastern Rites), Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Greek, Romanian etc), Anglican/Episcopalian, Oriental Orthodoxy (Copts, Armenians, Syriacs, Eritreans), Uniting Church in Australia.


There are various other groups (in alphabetical order): Apostolic Church, Baptist, Brethren, Church of Christ, Church of God, Congregationalist, Disciples of Christ, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Pentecostal and Assemblies of God, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Seventh Day Adventist, United Church of Christ. There are also many independent congregations.


Note: The claims of Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, often called the Mormon Church), the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (the official name for the Jehovah's Witnesses) and Christian Science to be Christian are rejected by most of the denominations mentioned above, and those who leave Mormonism are re-baptised by some of the above groups. The reason for this rejection is that, for example, Mormons hold beliefs regarding God (and other things) which are unacceptable to other denominations e.g. Mormon belief that Christ and Lucifer are brothers.

1.Catholicism 2.Orthodoxy3.Protestantism(Lutherans,Baptist,Methodist,more)4.Nontrinitarian

However, most do not consider those who are not believers in the Blessed Trinity (Unitarians, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc.) to be true Christians as they reject the Nicene and Apostles Creeds which are the basis of beliefs of all Christians.

The differences between Christian denominations are in the doctrines (interpretation of The Bible) of the denominations. The Bible is a compilation of sacred, inspired writings that tell of Jesus Christ. These writings (books) encompass thousands of years and were written by many authors over these thousands of years of time. Each book of the Bible supports and enhances every other book. It is a complex book (actually a set of books) and must be studied thoroughly for years in order to understand how each of the books relates to each other. It is through this study that one gets an understanding of the purpose of the Bible (to reveal the person of Jesus Christ).

While all Christians agree that the Bible is the Word of God and embrace a fundamental set of beliefs that are essential to The Faith (Christianity), not all Christians agree on the interpretation of each and every line of Scripture (a passage from the Bible) or how it applies to the everyday lives of today's Christians (followers of Christ). These disagreements, some large and others very small, have caused the divisions of the Church. None of these disagreements are in the essentials of The Faith. These divisions are the different denominations.

NOTE: Any group whose beliefs deny any one of the essentials of The Faith is not a denomination of Christianity, but a cult.
