I think he is asking what every member's denominational background is...
Currently I go to a Non-denominational church that has EUB & Baptist background roots.
   But I have either worked, volunteered, or attended the following denominations:
Christian & Missionary's Alliance
Baptist   (3 different churches in 3 different states/cities)
United Methodist
attended a pentacostal church and a Church of Christ a couple times in my life
Free Methodist
Evangelical Methodist

I think people put too much emphasis on denominations, and make them too much of an obstacle.

I agree.  That said, I am fairly certain every color of the rainbow is represented here.

I've been raised in the non-denominational church where my mother is a minister (often a traveling minister), soon to be officially ordained.
I've been attending a Presbyterian church for the past year or two with my brother, but have been leaning heavily to a conversion to Catholicism for sometime now. I attended a Nazarene university last year and will be attending a non-denominational university next semester.

Non-denominational here.  100% based on the Bible, not doctrines or tradition.

I believe the church I currently attend is Assembly of God...but no weird stuff. ;) I personally like to refer to myself as non-denominational.

I am a Christian who attends a southern Baptist church, I have also attended Fundamental Baptist and Non-Denominational.  I also echo that denominations are too heavily focused on.  I would attend any bible believing church regardless of what the sign out front said.

Careful, just because a church claims to be "bible believing" doesn't mean thats all they believe. For example, LDS churches believe in the bible but also supplement the scriptures with the writings of Joseph Smith.

Technically speaking, the Mormons are a seperate faith.

Not according to the Mormons, which is, I believe, DaClock's point.

It doesn't really matter if the Mormons think they are christians or not. They're not.

I havent seen any Sally's mentioned yet.

I used to work at a Sally camp for two summers.  is that enough to make me one or should I get a uniform and a rank  ;)

I always thought that was cool about the salvation army, how they ranked everyone according to ordained position in the chruch.  its kinda like being in a real army of god.

Mormons believe in the Book of Mormon and sometimes supplement with scriptures from the Bible.

I'm not saying that Mormon is a Christian denomination. I am saying that they claim to be Christians and they claim to believe in the bible. Therefore, if someone were to "go to a bible-believing church regardless of what the sign said outside," they could end up at a Mormon church.

Anyway, I don't think we should continue a discussion on Mormonism in this thread. It could be a discussion of its own if anybody would like to continue.
