Not to disagree with you or anything, but one of my leaders said that there really is no such thing as non-denominational...every church follows some sort of dogma, if you will. There's Armenian, Catholic, Lutheran, and I think Calvinism...there may be more, I'm not sure. So the Church may have a label of non-denominational, but they follow one or the other. Of course you could be saying that you yourself have no denomination, which I personally think is ok. I get along with every type of believer.
