It is rare for a person to accurately describe the beliefs and practices of a religious group other than his own. I have had enough family member, friends and neighbors who are members of some of these groups and I have attended the meetings and asked questions of the members of enough other groups that I can say with some confidence that you have generally avoided the temptation to misrepresent groups to which you do not belong.

@@hosha9 I was born in the Midwest (U.S.A.). I have trouble understanding some people’s English, even the English of many of the people in Maine, where my wife and I live now. I also don’t like dogmatism. I’m 77 and the older I get the less I like it. So it didn’t take me long to give up watching the video you suggested. I do, however, want to thank you for making the suggestion. I have the book The Meaning of The Holy Qur’an - an English paraphrase by ‘Abdullah Yusuf ‘Ali and I have read it. My opinion is that if someone reads the Hebrew Bible first, then the Gospels, then the Epistles and then the Apocalypse (Revelation), he is likely to get a very different understanding of the Bible than if he first reads the Gospels and the Epistles. I think something similar may be true with regard to reading the Qur’an (or, in my case, reading an English paraphrase thereof). It seems to me that some Muslims teach their children the first parts of the Qur’an while not putting much emphasis on the later parts. Conversely, some Muslims emphasize some of the later surahs so much as to give their children a very different understanding of Islam. I’m not promising to read it but, if you have a way of sending a transcript of the video, I may find the time to read at least part of it.

@@EmilyS-gk3st Protestant Traditionalist vs. Contrarianian vs. Reformist Numerous “definitions” of the Protestant Reformation describe it as something that occurred in the sixteenth century. Multitudes of people are content to adopt only those doctrines taught by one or more of the sixteenth century reformers. Let’s call them protestant traditionalists. One Lutheran told me any doctrine not taught by Martin Luther isn’t important. Do you agree that no reforms are important except those adopted in the sixteenth century? Have you read or heard that the Pilgrims who came to North America aboard the Mayflower and settled in what is today Plymouth, Massachusetts adopted several additional reforms? Some people learn about the beliefs and practices of the seventeenth century Plymouth colonists and conclude that the ideal religious perspective is to discard every doctrine of the Roman Church. For our purposes here, let’s call such people “contrarian”. Do you agree with the contrarians? Because I don’t agree with either the protestant traditionalists or the contrarians, I find it difficult to describe my perspective on this subject. I’m considering calling myself a “reformist”. Many people have been taught that Jesus discarded the religious beliefs and practices and prohibitions of the Hebrew patriarchs and prophets of antiquity in favor of an entirely new religious system. I don’t agree with that either. Instead, I think of the teachings of Jesus as building on - even enhancing - the faith of Abraham. I think of the Wesley brothers as building on the faith of Martin Luther. And I think twenty-first century protestants should continue the reformation by building on the reforms with which we agree but without necessarily discarding ALL of the beliefs and practices and prohibitions of previous generations. Most people who agree with me about this will, of course, not call yourselves “reformists”. You probably don’t want to have to explain the sense in which you are using that word. I, for one, am not comfortable with any of the labels with which other people are comfortable. I called myself a protestant for several decades but almost everyone else thinks that means I’m a protestant traditionalist or a contrarian. So far as I know, “reformist”, isn’t a label adopted by someone else. If I do begin describing myself that way, how long do you think it will take for someone else to try to define it in a way entirely different from what I intend it to mean?

I watched this video all the way through, and I don't agree with all the doctrines discussed, but I do agree it's more common for people to misrepresent a faith they're not a part of than represent it objectively like they were here. In answer to your questions: 1.-Of course I consider reforms after the 16th century important! I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which was founded in 1830, but I believe is Christ's original Church restored to the Earth. 2.-I don't know what reforms the early American Pilgrims did, so I can't say whether or not I agree with them. I may look into it! I don't agree that Jesus was tossing aside everything the Hebrews had, either. In fact, in my reading of the New Testament, it seems He had great respect for the Law of Moses. What Jesus didn't have respect for was the hypocrisy that the Jewish leaders of the time had. I agree with you on that Jesus' teachings build on the Law of Moses rather than tear it down!

Beautifully presented!

The central thing that is always overlooked in explorations of Christianity is that most people are the denomination they are simply based on what church dominated the country that the majority of their ancestors came from. Only people who take the time to ask themselves "hey...does this denomination REALLY teach what I believe ?" are ones who might switch from what was handed down to them. Either that or they may switch because they married someone from a different denomination, and they just agree to do so to keep the peace with their spouse. Roughly and generally speaking, if the majority of your ancestors came from Ireland (except for Northern Ireland), Italy, Poland, France, Belgium, southern Germany or Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Czechoslovakia or if you are Hispanic, you will almost always be Roman Catholic and never question it. If they came from Greece, the Ukraine, Russia or Serbia, you will be Eastern Orthodox. If they came from northern or central Germany or the Scandinavian countries, you will be Lutheran. If they came from England or Wales, you will be Episcopalian or Methodist, or perhaps Baptist if you live in the southern states in the US, or you are living in the state of Utah, you will most likely be a Mormon. If they came from Africa and you are Black, you will probably be Baptist, Pentecostal or Methodist. If they came from Scotland or the Netherlands or are Scotch-Irish from Northern Ireland, you will be Presbyterian or Reformed. And so on and so forth. And in almost every case, you will never question if the given denomination teaches what you truly believe.

@@Shindler39 Yes I have been Shindler. When I was getting married however, my fiancé went to a Pentecostal church (she had been raised Catholic and had been drawn away by her sister in law) so I went along a few times with her. To be blunt, all that seemed to happen was that they sang a few pop songs over and over and over for what seemed an eternity, then they were given what I call an "Amway" sales talk that lasted for forty minutes and that was it. I find it telling that all those churches have a "stage" where we have an altar which to me sums it up. Because she had left the faith, it made me research what it was that they were being taught and why - this was before the internet - so I managed to track down a book called Catholicism vs Fundamentalism which really explained the differences beautifully, including all the scriptural references that the Church draws on to arrive at the Catechism. One of the things that fascinated me was that she had obviously been indoctrinated about all the "evils" of the Catholic church and yet I had never once heard anything "anti Protestant" preached in all my years of attending a Catholic Church, so I was at a complete disadvantage to begin with. All I really knew about Protestantism was that there were a multitude of different denominations and they couldn't agree among themselves, except that they didn't accept the authority of the Pope as head of the Church, they didn't believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist and that some of them didn't believe in the baptism of infants. That was about it really. On the few occasions I had been in a Protestant church (with the exception of the Anglicans) they were very plain and dull and certainly didn't move me spiritually in the way a Catholic church does. While many people criticise the Church for its art, most forget that it stretches back into the dark ages as a way of telling the stories from the bible to people who couldn't read. Similarly, the churches were built by the local people who gave what they could to try to glorify and honour God and looked on it as the one piece of true beauty they could enjoy in their hard life. So while people criticise "the Church" for its wealth, it is owned by the very people who participate and has been accumulated over centuries. When, a few years ago we went to Rome and visited St Peters, I can recall thinking to myself "This is mine!" Who are we to disparage and belittle the faith of those who have gone before us? Beauty is a gift from God, as are our talents. Look at the music that has been written for the Church - it is just one expression of art as sculptures, architecture and painting are all other expressions, equally valid. So by using our talents in this way to honour God to me just makes sense. Lastly, there are now so many really coherent and respectful Catholic apologists you can watch on KZread who can explain the faith and refute the disinformation (or in newspeak "Fake News") I would encourage you to really research into the explanations they give to Protestant objections. I believe you will discover a richness and beauty in the faith that is there for the asking, which goes back to my original point about the pixelated photo.

@@Shindler39 If you want to grow as a Christian WITHIN the Church, have a look at all the programmes they have to offer - retreats, study courses, both online and if you are lucky at a physical location near you. There is a wealth of stuff available but sometimes I think the Church has gotten so well organised with it, it is too "corporate" and feels removed from the day to day experience of an average parishioner. It is yours to discover though. For me, it really comes down to a matter of Sanctification. We are on a spiritual journey through our lives here on earth trying to become like Christ. Each time we sin, it slows down our progress towards total holiness. That's why I so appreciate the sacraments the Church offers - Holy Eucharist, Confession and absolution, Marriage - and who wouldn't want to have Annointing and Last Rites? This is all part of the richness of the faith that you simply don't get in Protestant churches. It's a bit the same with the idea of Purgatory, (you know the one - ask your Baptist friends and they will have a heart attack LOL) but I really believe that when we leave this world, as believers, we are drawn to God, but first we are confronted by those things that maybe we never truly repented - pride being foremost among them. This realisation of those transgressions makes us ashamed and gives us the opportunity to truly and fully repent before God. That's what purgatory means to me. The final cleansing before being one of the saints. Therefore the further along we are on our spiritual journey here on earth, the less we have to confront when we finally get to the other side. All the tools in the Church help in this journey and there are so many more of them than what I see in any Protestant Church. It's like trading down from a Mercedes to a Hyundai - they are both cars, but we all know which one we would rather have. Lastly I would say to you, don't let the sin of pride get in your way - if in your heart you are being drawn back to the faith, then swallow your pride and embrace it. You will get even more out of your journey back into the Church having stepped out - just re-read the story of the Prodigal Son. I am praying for you...

Jonathan Barb - I was raised in a Presbyterian church, but the definition/description of "predestination" provided in this video differs from that which I was taught at my church. Since you are a Presbyterian minister, perhaps you can enlighten me. The way I understood it, Presbyterians believe in predestination in the following way (I'll articulate it in my own words and trust that you can place it into context with the official wording) - We are beings with free will. Some will exercise that free will to do good things; others will exercise it to do bad things. But since salvation is determined by faith and acceptance of Christ as our savior, our chosen acts (good or bad) are not determinant. That is, nobody is predestined for salvation based on acts or behaviors. Nor are we predestined at birth. A person becomes predestined for salvation upon accepting Christ and, by extension, accepting the role as a an agent of God. That person, now predestined for salvation, exercises free will. Of course, our savior would prefer for that person's exercise of free will should be to commit acts of good. But whether the acts of this person are good, bad, or mediocre, God uses those acts to bring other souls to Christ. In that way, the predestined soul is an agent of the Trinity. And because he/she has made the conscious decision to accept Christ, that acceptance is what leads to salvation. Is this the way the Presbyterian Church still teaches it? I ask for your input because I have been overseas for almost two decades - far from any Presbyterian congregation. I truly have almost no connection to that church anymore.

In other words, all came from the Catholic Church at some point... To me, a Church preceding all other "splits" have to be the one created by Christ originally. Scripture doesn't mention the need for future splits from the existing Church; on the other hand, plenty of warnings against false teachers. _(All protestant denominations have a man responsible for their creations, and most take place in modern days)_ Paul also states that there should _not_ be any schism among the faithful, so based on that, the actions of Luther and other reformers are highly questionnable; God never abandoned his people in times of error; he kept the same order of things but replaced leaders in their office. (Moses, David, Salomon, etc).

It was in no way the "name" of the Church. *Funny thing though:* The BISHOP of Antioch was Ignatius of Antioch, around 100 AD. He was taught the faith by John the apostle himself... and HE said the following: _"See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8, 110~ AD"_ ...The Catholic Church, Asaph, and look at the year it was used. And it also shows an AUTHORITY of the Church, which you deny. (back then THE Bishop was a reference to the Pope) The word means "Universal" in greek, and was already used as a qualifier of the one true Church in the first century whether you agree with it or not. We used this name to identify ourselves, and stand out from those who would "claim" to be the "true church". _(against the docetists, Marcionists, early gnostics, etc)_ If you could talk with Ignatius, Asaph, what do you think he would say to you? Would you debate and deny his insights as well? _(Remember, no biblical canon back then; sola scriptura was not even possible)_

Informative.Protestant reformation changed the course of history.It heralded a new era

This is all in all a very good video, but there are a few errors which are to be expected. For example, some of the worlds largest Lutheran churches (former state churches in Scandinavia like Church of Sweden) adhere to apostolic succession and are in many ways closer to Anglican (Episcopalian) Churches than their Lutheran brothers and sisters in for example the US or even in Germany. It's a minor thing and protestantism is extremely varied and complicated. Blessings to you all, whatever church you belong to!

Good job in such a short time! You could mention the Southern Baptist Convention as a unified body for some Baptists.

Independent Baptists predate the RCC and therefore all Protestants by MANY centuries...their local churches are autonomous as taught and they believe in the plenary inspiration of the Holy Bible....they separated themselves out from the SBC because the church as Christ established it has no set organization except the Pastor and the Body who all answer to Jesus the Son

You forgot to mention at least an approximation of the number of Protestant churches.

Matthew 16:18-19 "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.”

Wonderful video. The last point of TULIP is perseverance of the saints.

To any Jehovah’s witness I ask how does Daniel 10:13 effect the way you see Jesus? The verse says: “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” So is Jesus just one of the chief princes? I encourage you to read this verse, in context, and understand who and what Jesus really is. Colossians 1:16-17 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” This verse shows that even Michael was created by Jesus. I pray that your eyes will be opened to who He is.

Thank you for not representing nontrinitarian viewpoints unfairly. Interestingly, the Church of Christ, Scientist is also nontrinitarian. I personally am a nontrinitarian Christian who is a member of the Disciples of Christ, a denomination that takes no stance on the trinity either way. Since every translation of the Bible has some verses that are clearly nontrinitarian and some verses that are clearly trinitarian, I believe that we should all be able to be considered true-believing Christians.

Including Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Scientology in Christianity would be like including Buddhism in Hinduism or Islam in Judaism; it demonstrates a categorical flaw in how you approached the study. Aside from that, the video was a really good introduction and I appreciate the work you did to compile and summarize the broad branches of Christianity.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who has been immersed in the religion her whole life, I can say that the religion you called the slang term "Mormon" is very much a Christ-worshipping faith. The term "Christian" defines a follower of Christ, yeah? Well, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints very much encourages following Christ's teachings. Thus it is very much a Christian faith, although it may be a little different from the others doctrinally. If you don't believe me, why don't you look into the religion itself through the scriptures it teaches from? They encourage reading from the Bible. That much you can relate to. The Book of Mormon is about the ancient Americans, and is very much centered around Christ. The things it teaches are very much in harmony with what the Bible teaches.

God gave us one Bread( the Eucharist) and made us one body( The Roman Catholic Church). He doesn’t desire us to not know what the scriptures and traditions teach so he gave the Magesterium to be his voice concerning faith, morals,doctrines, and dogmas (Mathew 18:18).

@Asaph Vapor the problem is Martin Luther's idea of justification did not come from the Bible but himself. You will not find Bible alone or faith alone for salvation in the Bible. As a matter of fact until the Catholic Church put the Bible together in about the year 400 ad Christian teaching was done by the church through sacred tradition. Jesus Christ never says everything you need to know will be written down in a book nor does his apostles. Faith alone is not in the Bible or was ever said by any of his apostles it always was faith and works together for salvation. Protestants like yourself are taught that Catholic Doctrine is not biblical when in fact everything the church teaches is in the Bible. Martin Luther did no Christian any good by his heresy. He separated Christianity through his Satan inspired idea of justification and you say that is good You are implying that Jesus Christ started a church and then forgot about it till Martin Luther came along 1520 years later. Baloney, he said he would protect it till the end of time and the Catholic church has stood this promise no matter what people like you say. Every Protestant church was founded after the year 1520 and the church you belong to today was founded by a man not Jesus Christ or the apostles.

The Presbyterian and Calvinist Church of Scotland took the concept of Protesting to its logical conclusion and have had many, many schisms over the years. While some have re-united or merged with different branches over the years, have currently have The Church of Scotland (the National, but NOT established church), The Free Church, The Free Church (Continuing), The United Free Church, The Free Presbyterian Church, The Associated Presbyterian Churches, and The Reformed Presbyterian Churches. That's before you include the Scottish Episcopal Church - the only church in the Anglican Communion that is not a daughter church of the Church of England, but instead stems from parallel movements within the Scottish church when James VI ascended the English throne as James I. We also have two slightly distinct groups of Roman Catholics. Lowland Catholics, mostly descended from 19th Century Irish Immigrants to the big cities (though added to by Italians, Poles, Lithuanians, and Others over the decades) and Highland Catholics who are the last vestiges of Pre-Reformation Scotland. Because of the highly-Centralised nature of the Catholic church, the distinction is more cultural among the people (though most share the same Football team) We've quite a lot going on, especially considering only around 52% of our ~5M population identifies as Christian (going by 2011 census)
