The Different Christian Churches In Las Vegas

By Ann Parker


Christianity had humble beginnings. It started in Jerusalem, Israel, with only a handful of followers. However, it spread across the world like wildfire. It took only a few years for Christianity to become a widespread religion in Asia and Europe. From there it went to the rest of the world including the Americas, Africa, and Oceania. Many great emperors tried to stop Christianity but they failed miserably. Christianity kept spreading at a rapid pace despite the persecutions that believers suffered. Christianity finally reached the United States of America. Presently, there are a number of Christian churches in Las Vegas.

The diversity of Christianity is what makes it to be the greatest religion in the world. There is a diversity of denominations and churches. Each church has its own unique practices. However, that does not mean that there is conflict in Christianity. As a matter of fact, the various churches and denominations complement each other. They all hold the Bible to be supreme.

The supremacy of the Holy Bible is something that a true Christian cannot question. Heaven and earth will pass away with a great thunder but no single word of scripture will pass without being fulfilled. Most of the prophesies of Scripture have already been fulfilled. Some are currently being fulfilled. It is only a few that are awaiting fulfillment.

When Christianity reached Europe that marked the Birth of the Catholic Church. It all started with the conversion of one of the greatest Roman Emperors: the Emperor Constantine. Catholicism did not end in Europe. It eventually reached the United States of America. Presently, there is the Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas. This diocese is headed by a bishop.

On one hand, there is Catholicism. On the other hand, there is Protestantism. These are the two major Christian denominations on planet earth. Catholicism paved the way for Protestantism. According to the leading religious scholars in America and Canada, Protestantism borrowed a lot from Catholicism. Thus, there are similarities between these two denominations. However, there are also a number of differences.

The biggest Protestant church in Las Vegas as well as in other parts of America is the Baptist Church. It is accurate to conclude that America is a Baptist nation. The Southern Baptist Convention is actually the largest Protestant movement in continental America. In addition, almost all of the founding fathers of this country considered themselves to be true Baptists.

The Seventh Day Adventist Church is authentically American. As a matter of fact, it was started by an American. The founder of the Adventist movement is considered as one of the greatest Americans of all time. The Adventists have done a lot for America and the world in general. They have made the world to be a good place to live in.

The church is more than just a building. It is the collective assembly of believers for the purpose of praise and worship. As a believer, it is a good thing to belong to a Bible believing church. For that to be the case, one has to be baptized by the full immersion into water. Baptism will be carried out by an ordained pastor or priest.
