Christian traditions & movements
Nondenominational Evangelical / Bible Church
This baseline describes the common non-charismatic form. A congregation with a Reformed, charismatic or seeker-sensitive influence should be read as a base tradition plus that influence.

PRACTICE-BASED READING
What actually comes off the press
This is a broad field rather than one confession. A typical non-charismatic Bible Church prints conversion, Scripture, teaching and mission clearly, but often reproduces Baptist or dispensational practice and leaves little visible GOLD.
The reading compares observable congregational life with the apostolic church in Acts. A stated doctrine alone does not raise an ink when the corresponding practice is not visible.Ink density against the reference
100% is the reference density. Below 100% the ink weakens; above 100% it begins to cover the others. This is more precise than an abstract 1–5 scale.

The colours show observed emphasis against the apostolic church in Acts — not a claim about anyone's salvation. Stated doctrine and lived practice may produce different readings.
