==Protestant Denominations==

===[[File:Amish_Communalism.png]] Amish===

The [[File:Amish Communalism.png]] Amish believe that the Bible instructs them to care for church members who have special needs, including the elderly (to rely on commercial or government insurance would contradict their belief that God will care for them through the church) and are taught to respect and pray for governing authorities according to biblical admonitions. However, when caught in a conflict between their conscience and civic law, they cite the scripture verse ''“Obey God rather than men”'' (Acts 5:29). They believe that Jesus’s followers are to be nonviolent, and they forbid self-defense as well as entering the armed forces. The Amish emphasize the separation of church and state. They prefer not to receive subsidies from government programs. They will typically not serve in government committees or commissions, but will often consult and cooperate with local officials. The Amish generally avoid holding public office and engaging in political activism. They are, however, permitted to vote. The rate of voting is typically low unless a local issue is on the ballot. In recent years, numerous conflicts have pitted the Amish against the growing regulatory power of the state. The points of friction have included military service, education, Social Security, health care, property zoning, child labor, photo identification, and the use of slow-moving-vehicle signs. To cope with these various conflicts, the Amish have formed a national steering committee with representatives in various states to work with public legislators when issues arise. In general, however, the Amish have fared rather well in a political system that respects and protects their freedom of religious expression.

 

 

===[[File:Methodist Theocracy.png]] Methodism===

[[File:Methodist_Theocracy.png]] Methodism (also commonly known as '''Wesleyanism''') is similar to Anglicanism, but without much of the Catholic tradition. Methodists differentiate from Anglicans, as they are more informal than Anglicans, and believe that individuals capable of spreading the word of God should be able to. Methodists are staunchly Arminian, believing that all can attain salvation simply through following Jesus Christ. Methodists also teach the ''Entire Sanctification'', a belief that one can be forgiven of all their sins, including that of ''Original Sin''. However, most believe this is only attainable after ones passing.

 

[[File:Lutheran_Theocracy.png]] Lutherans are the original Protestants, originating from the Teachings of the German Theologian, Martin Luther. Lutherans believe that Salvation is not a one-time thing, and put a large emphasis on the Five Solas of the Reformation (or the Five Solae).

 

 

====Pietism====

 

===[[File:Baptist.png]] Baptism===

[[File:Baptist.png]] Baptists believe that Baptism is for believers only, not for infants. Baptists also believe baptism should only be done by immersion.

 

 

===[[File:Pentecostal.png]] Pentecostalism===

[[File:Pentecostal.png]] Pentecostalism is a heavily Evangelical denomination, with a large emphasis on the ''Born Again Experience'', before having a second experience with the Holy Spirit Baptism. They also believe that all the spiritual gifts in The Bible are available to use.

 

Pentecostals believe in ''Sola Scriptura''. They do not practice infant baptism, and are mostly Arminian.

 

[[File:Quakerism.png]] Quakers are a very big tent denomination, with a mixture of Conservatives and Liberal Christians, Evangelicals and Mainline Protestants, among others. Quakers hold a firm belief of non-violence and are rather informal during times, most services don't have a preset plan and members of the church are free to stand and speak regardless of if they are a pastor or not. Many do not practice baptism or the communion, and most Quaker Churches allow the ''Women Ordination''.
