text: what are the differences in christian religions? like protastant, methodist, baptist etc... doctrine. all christians hold the basic concepts of christianity and accept christ as the son of god and their savior. doctrine is the part of the church where men try to interpret the meaning of god's word. in other words, translate the divine into mortal terms. groups that agree or accept one interpretation belong to one denomination.    as a responsible christian, you should investigate and educate yourself on the doctrine of a church and then decide if you agree with it or not. if not, there are many others from which to choose. you can still be a christian and not belong to a particular denomination. the decision is yours to make.
