What religion is Riker Lynch?

His cousin is Julianne Hough and her family is Mormon so I believe the lynch family is as well. Sadly he is not a Christian I beg to differ. I definitely know that if he is Mormon he is very much a Christian. The Mormon Church's official title is The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. If that is not Christian, what is?

How were the puritan beliefs different from pilgrim beliefs?

The Puritans were a religious Protestant Christian group of pilgrims in the 1600s who fled the "over-tolerance" of the Netherlands to come to a land where they could freely impose a theocracy over their subjects. However, "pilgrim" is a term that just means a "religious person who travels in search of a special religious place" and there are numerous pilgrims in various religions whose beliefs differ quite profoundly with the Puritans as well as each other (such as Catholic pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela or Muslim pilgrims to Mecca).


What is differences between Methodist and baptist?

Methodists and Baptists have many of the same tenets. Methodists tend to be more open minded and politically active than Baptists. Baptists believe that baptism is an outward symbol of what has happened internally and has you go through an immersion after you have made a conscious and deliberate acceptance of Jesus as you personal Savior. Thus the name Anabaptist that was shortened to baptist. Baptists in general believe that the Bible is the scripture that should be followed closely. In some instances the members believe that the Bible is without error and that the canonization of the Bible was guided by God himself. Methodists take a more corporal stand on the responsibility and salvation of an individual. There are things that a church community are encouraged to do to spread God's love and honor. Each individual has a personal salvation but also a church or corporal salvation that requires them to be altruistic. the Bible is a guidebook but not necessarily the final word to the church. In general if a person believes that there are many ways to God then the Methodist church would embrace them but not the baptist. I'd like to improve on this answer. The United Methodists have little in common with the Southern Baptist Church. Both take opposite views of the Bible. The Baptists strongly believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, the Methodist do no. The Methodists are a direct offshoot of the Anglican Church with the founder of the Methodist CHurch, Rev John Wesley, having remained a high church priest of the Church of England. The United Methodists have much more in common with the Episcopal/Anglican Church then the Baptists-except in styles of worship. Theologically and liturgically, the Methodists are Anglican. The Baptists do not celebrate the sacraments like the Methodist do. They call Baptism an ordinance but in the Methodist Church they share with other liberal Mainline churches, the celebration of the Eucharist and Holy Communion. The UMC is a connectional denomination; the Baptists are independent , autonomous churches that appoint their own preachers. The Methodist are organized into districts and conferences, with an ordain Bishop being solely responsible for each conference. The UMC ordains deacons and elders. They uphold the belief in the Apostolic Succession-like the RCC and Anglicans. The Baptists obviously don't. The UMC worship in sanctuaries while Baptists call them auditoriums. Baptists are inclined to use little Christian symbology in their place of worship-they don't want to be in anyway "Catholic"-so they have no altars, usually a sole pulpit for preaching, and maybe stain glass windows. Many UMC are similar in architecture to Lutheran & Episcopal parishes-many are gothic or romanesque in design, with beautiful sanctuary appointments, including a high altar, kneelers for the clergy, altar rails and even sanctuary lamps to represent the presence of Christ! The UMC in the last 100 years, have encouraged their clergy to wear different styles of vestments and to use acolytes in the worship. The Baptists are very informal in their worship and their preachers rarely wear any robes-maybe the choir will. The UMC is found in all states whereas the Southern Baptist Church is concentrated in the border states and southern states. You won't find them in the North west, the Upper Midwest, or for sure in the New England States. The last critical difference is that the United Methodist Church can be described as a moderately liberal church that has a strong progressive history and committment to justice issues and social problems in our country. The UMC has certainly had its share of division especially over sexual orientation. But they are much more tolerant than the Southern Baptists when it come to most if not all social issues. The American Baptists, are far smaller but are much closer to the UMC on issues!

Do Methodist and pentecostal have the same beliefs on communion?

Methodist and Pentecostal beliefs on communion differ significantly. Methodists view communion as a sacrament, emphasizing its role in grace and the presence of Christ, and typically practice it regularly as part of their worship. In contrast, many Pentecostals see communion more as a symbolic act, focusing on personal faith and the remembrance of Christ's sacrifice rather than a means of grace. Consequently, the understanding and significance of communion can vary widely between the two traditions.

Did Mormons get persecuted for refusing to let new members into their church?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has never denied people membership into their church. All people from all walks of life have always been accepted through baptism if they are willing to demonstrate a willingness to follow Jesus Christ and the guidelines of the Church. Mormons have been persecuted for their doctrinal and moral beliefs which differ from the popular culture, such as belief in scripture in addition to the Bible, modern prophets, salvation for the deceased, strict chastity, and clean living.


How did the Catholic Church's beliefs differ from the protestant church on salvation?

Because the Catholic Church's beliefs are founded on the revelation of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. The protestant beliefs are founded on the private wishes of individuals who lived sixteen centuries later on what they wish was true and their individual reading of flawed translations of the Sacred Scriptures. Catholics teach that the Christian must rely on faith plus "meritorious works" in order to be saved. Essential to the Roman Catholic doctrine of salvation are the Seven Sacraments, which are baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and matrimony. Protestants believe that, on the basis of faith in Christ alone, believers are justified by God, as all their sins are paid for by Christ on the cross and His righteousness is imputed to them. Catholics, on the other hand, believe that Christ's righteousness is imparted to the believer by "grace through faith," but in itself is not sufficient to justify the believer. The believer must supplement the righteousness of Christ imparted to him with meritorious works.
