What churches don't share their faith?
Q: I am trying to understand my faith better but i do not want to evangelize. I don't want to spread my beliefs to others. What denomination does this fit with?
A: There are no Christian denominations that avoid sharing the Gospel of Christ. But, theres false churches, sects, cults and religions masqurading as Christian, but they're ruled by the satanic system; outside of the Faith. You don't want to align with doctrines of demons.
Jesus gave us believers our marching orders/job when he left. To fullfill the Great Commission.
Matthew 28:19-20 (The Great Commission): Jesus said:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
It's a privilege to be "a messenger of God", and as Scripture calls us"a royal priesthood of the Saints." "Proclaiming the good news" to the world. Jesus left us on earth for this job. We are to be faithful servants fulfilling our role in the world.
What your saying sounds like you don't care if others are hell bound as long as you were saved. I hope that's not what you mean. The great preacher Charles Spurgeon explained that if you dont care if others are not saved, then your not saved yourself.
When you truly understand what God in Christ has done for you, you can't but burst forth to share your joy and plead with people to come to Christ. Remember when Jesus said if the people didnt praise him the rocks would burst forth to do it.
Luke 19:40, Jesus says, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."
All this to explain and guide you to understand that - If God saved us we love others, cuz God's love is in us. Loving one another is natural, so all we need to do is get equipped and go.
Review these verses:
2 Timothy 2:15:
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

Romans 10:14-15:
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

Jude 1:23:
"Save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh."
1 Thessalonians 5:14:
"And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all."
2 Timothy 2:24-26:
"And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will."
Ephesians 6:10-18
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints."
James 5:19-20:
"My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins."
Matthew 6:19-21:
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luke 8:16
"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.”
This desire to proclaim Christ at every opportunity is imbedded in the believer as a new creation (born again by God), who is so grateful He saved such a wretched sinner that we go and share this life saving message. I’d rather lose a friend or a job, talking about Jesus in hopes they recieve Him so we will be in heaven together, than due to fear or being ashamed of Christ, keep that relationship to the peril of never seeing them again after death, and to the displeasure of God for not doing my duty in love. Eternity is never ending, and it would only be a wicked servant who refuses to obey his master.
Ezekiel 33:6, speaks to the duty of a watchman to warn the people of impending danger, and if he fails to do so, he bears the responsibility for their blood.
Ezekiel 3:18-19
"When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered yourself." While this verse was for prophets in Bible times, it shows the seriousness that every messenger of God is to do their duty, as they obey God's commands & in love to others.
Having the thoughts you had on this topic indicates it is is possible you embraced a false Gospel and God hasn't actually saved you yet. So do as Scripture says to "examine yourself" and "make your call and election sure". It's also possible no one in your church has stressed the importance of evangelizing; proclaiming the Gospel, and are wrongly expect the pastor to do that. Either way, a truly saved person cares about other humans being right with God, and shares the Gospel. Because they care.
Have you ever shared Christianity since coming to faith? Have you ever shared your salvation testimony? At minimum to start sharing the Gospel where you find places to do so online. You can include needGod.com link anywhere you comment on social media and in forums. And you can leave tracts around wherever you go. Then you can get equipped to share the Gospel and Christianity, having more confidence to talk to people you know and don't know, to lead folk to Christ.
God tests our faith like with Abraham, and uses it to grow us in trust and obedience as he matures us, sanctification us as we follow Jesus daily.
You won't know everything right away, and and wont be perfect, so don't beat yourself up... but the goal is to strive to be a good faithful servant to God. Loving God and others rightly, fulfills the Law of Christ, as we live out the Gospel.
Read the Bible daily, memorize those verses, and go forward in faith.
God is with you and will help you to do this. 😊✨️✝️
God bless
