Re: Do you follow the same religion as your parents? - August 17th 2011, 04:31 PM

Well, I recently had converted to Christianity (a year or two ago). However, when I initially started going, I was going to the churches that my grandfather would recommend. As my mom and stepdad believe in a God, but are more or less agnostic. But, I guess my mom could be considered a nominal Christian.

Anyways, as of now, I have a lot of disagreements with the Church and a lot of confusion because I do not want to follow blindly the doctrines put out by people. So, right now, I'm more of a independent Christian. I'm not really going to church. And, if you classified me as anything, I am a hyper-Calvinist, or a "Predestinarian." Which, you'll find a lot of people who profess to be Calvinists, but really, aren't because they believe in freewill. So, my beliefs even as a Christian, are quite contrary to most Christians, and my grandparents.
