Bible, Scripture, Word, Letter, Message. There are some of the ones I have heard.
Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) use the Old and New Testaments of the King James Version of the Bible as scripture. The Apocryphal books are occassionally quoted by Church leaders but not cannonized as scripture by the Church. Church members are advised to read them only by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because some of what is written in the Apocryphal books is true and some is not. The Church also uses the Book of Mormon as scripture. It is considered an additional testament of Jesus Christ and used side-by-side with the Bible. The Doctrine and Covenants is cannonized as a volume scripture as well. It is a collection of revelations to early Church leaders regarding how the Church should operate. The final book cannonized as scripture by the Church is the Pearl of Great Price. It contains the Books of Moses and Abraham, which are accounts of the creation story that add more detail to the Biblical book of Genesis. It also contains Joseph Smith's re-translation of Matthew 24 and his personal history. You can read all the books used by Mormons as scripture at the "Related Links" below.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe word "church" is used in several different ways. Primarily it is used to refer to the community of believers, the kingdom of God, and the Mystical Body of Christ. These are the primary senses of the word from Sacred Scripture. In these senses, it is Our Blessed Lord, Jesus, who "makes" the Church which is composed of all those who believe in Him. As the Mystical Body of Christ it is the communion of all those made holy by the grace of Christ.
Of course! The church has a principle that often gets shunted off to the sidelines, but which is still relevant and appropriate: Let scripture interpret scripture. Other books can be used legitimately when they provide a focal point to get started in your Bible study. They can also give suggested places to go in your study to see the different nuances and perspectives that the Bible provides on different subjects.
Roman Catholic AnswerI should think neither. Liberalist used refers to a political bent, and the Church has none. Literalist would usually refer to a reading of Sacred Scripture that only accepts the literal meaning. The Church definitely accepts the literal meaning, but it also accepts the spiritual, allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses of Sacred Scripture.
AnswerThe term 'congregation' is often used both for those assembled at a particular church service, and for al the members of the church.
Do they? I'm not sure people do think that by naming God differently it changes him. God has many names - from Jehovah (jah We - I am who I am) as given to Moses to names given to Jesus (Jesus, The Christ, Emmanuel) and even the names given to the Holy Spirit (ruach, wind of God etc). It is important that God revealed these names to us throughout scripture and throughout history so that we might understand a little more about God - e.g. God is love, God is judge, the Good Shepherd, Abba Father and so on. None of these names actually changes God, and I do not know any fellow Christians who actually think that they do. We are told in scripture that God is consistent and unchanging, but names used for God, as evealed through scripture, tell us more about different aspects of his character as we learn more about him.

There are several phrases that may be used in this scenario. They may include "Amen" or "May the Lord be with you."
