Christianity has been interpreted in more ways than any other modern religion. There are more sects of Christianity than all other religions, which says quite a bit. You have the super liberal Chrsitans who believe you can do anything to be saved. You have other sects that are much more strict and prefer a more literal interpretation of the Bible, and you have some in the middle.

And then you have some groups that are just plain out there, such as the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses. They have formed their own distinct versions of Christianity that are really completely separate from the religion. The Mormons believe that God spoke to Joseph Smith in the mid 1800's and found golden tablets with the word of God written on them. That is what consist of the "Book of Mormon". I'm not exactly sure what the Jehovah's witnesses believe, but I know that they have tried very hard to separate themselves from other Christians, and they have very radical views about the Bible and the nature of God.

I am a non-Denominational Christian. I currently am a member of the ICC (international Church of Christ). We believe in a very literal interpretation of the Bible, believing that the only way to truly follow Christianity is to apply the principles of the Bible to our own lives. Strangely enough, other Christian groups don't really believe that, they think that a priest has to interpret the Bible for them. However, most Christians do believe in the Bible, and that the Bible is the word of God and must be followed in a literal way. But what the Bible says is rarely agreed upon.

If you are interested in becoming a Christan, I would highly recommend that you do not follow the guidelines of any organized religious group. Any group that wants to teach you their doctrine is only giving you their personal opinion on what the Bible says. I would recommend that you first study out the Bible in debt, and if you have questions to read books written by independent scholars. I think that the teachings of Christ are some of the greatest ever written, and can help anyone who wants to learn from them. So good luck in your quest for spiritual fulfillment. I can tell you from personal experience that becoming a Christian is a worthwhile decision. But always be aware of organized religion, especially ones with highly structured hierarchies.
