This document, titled “Myth of Nondenominationalism,” is a presentation from “Impartation 2014” by Keith L. Moore of iMpact Christian Church, and Bishop Wales Williams Jr. The presentation is divided into two sessions, each 45 minutes long.

Session 1 covers:

• The Challenge: This section encourages believers to understand, honor, and celebrate their spiritual heritage without allowing it to hinder growth. It references Matthew 16:13-20, where Jesus asks his disciples about his identity and Peter declares him to be the Christ. The presentation then applies this “Whom do men say…” question to the identity of believers and the church.
• By Definition: This part defines “nondenominational Christianity” using information from Wikipedia, highlighting that these institutions are not formally aligned with established denominations but are historically Protestant or autonomous. It notes that nondenominational churches can form functional denominations through mutual recognition and shared doctrine, or they may explicitly reject formal denominational structures, preferring autonomy. A 2012 Gallup survey is cited, stating that 10% of U.S. adults identify as non-specific Christian.
• Atmospheric Study (On Kingdom Atmosphere): This section defines “atmosphere” as the air of a locality or a surrounding influence. It then discusses “The Kingdom’s Atmosphere – Keys,” including atmospheric pressure, escape, composition, structure, circulation, and climate change, relating them to the spiritual realm. A “Prophetic Word” is presented, describing the church as a “place of warmth” and God’s presence, where the wounded can recover, be healed, and become “healers of wounded places.” It also describes believers as “instruments of My PEACE” who are “MISSION ORIENTED.” This section concludes with “Righteous Connection in Set Place,” referencing 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 and defining “righteous,” “connection,” and “set place” (Tithemi/tith’-ay-mee).

Session 2 covers:

• Your Spiritual Origin/Foundation: This section revisits the definition of nondenominationalism.
• The Affect of Religion/History: This part explores how different denominational backgrounds (National Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Apostolic) influence mindset, doctrine, identity, and culture. It defines “mindset” (understanding, thoughts), “identity” (Baptisma – immersion and identification with Christ), and “doctrine” (Didache/Didaskalia – that which is taught, teaching, instruction, and Heterodidaskaleo – teaching different doctrine).
• The Effect of Your Ministry: This final section is listed but not detailed in the provided document.

The document emphasizes understanding one’s spiritual background and identity within the context of a “Kingdom Atmosphere,” challenging the common perception of nondenominationalism by discussing how these churches can still form functional denominations and how past religious affiliations shape believers.
