ARE YOU A C....LIC OR A PR.....TANT?

Why do we have to be a member of a particular denomination or Church to be known as a Believer (a disciple) of JESUS CHRIST? Where in the Bible does it say I must be a member of a "certain denomination"? 1 Corinthians 3:5, "Who is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the LORD gave to every man?" What eminence or DEITY has any preacher or denomination that we should be called by their name? GOD is the foundation of all our Blessings, and whoever may have been the "instrument" by whom GOD used, is not HIM! Nothing is the original source of our Faith except GOD and we are not to "arrange" ourselves under any name except GOD, no matter how "good" the association may seem. When someone asks, are you a Christian? Is your answer, JESUS CHRIST is LORD of my life, my Salvation, my forgiveness, and my Eternal Life? Or do we say, Oh, I AM A, C....LIC OR I AM A, PR...TANT?
