    You will need to be a lot more clear about what you want. A simple web search will give you a lot of good information.

    There is indeed only one Chrsitianity, but various methods of practice.

    We evangelics believe that Mary was just a woman, with no special powers, but we do believe that she was a very good woman (to be chosen from thousands of other women). We don't go to mass, but to a service, and we celebrate(at least in my church) once a month the Lords table. We don't baptise ourselves until WE believe it's the right time. We have a pastor

    Catholics, well, most of you might know... :D They go to mass, you babtise very early in childhood, you have the father. I don't really know that much about catholisism

    And now, the Anglo-saxon protestant church. Founded by HenryVIII because he wanted to divorce his wife and the pope wouldn't let him. Its kind of like the catholic church but with a little less importance for the Virgin Mary (at least that's what my teacher told me!)

    Independent Baptist
    ~Must be saved before you are baptised
    ~Doesn't do infant baptisim, but does have a ceremony where parents can choose to dedicate their child to the Lord.
    ~Believes that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one (trinity).
    ~Believes that once you are truly saved, you are always saved. (Do not believe that once you are washed in the Blood of the Lamb that God takes it away.)
    ~Believes that Jesus died for ALL sins past, present and furture. Meaning there is not one sin that you cannot receive forgiveness for.
    ~Has only male pastors, and only males can teach adults. Women can teach children including male children. We do not believe women should be the head of a man because God made man the head of woman. Therefore if a woman is pastor she is the head of the church, making her the head of the men in church.
    ~Is not a chain.

    ~Does not switch out pastors every so many years. Independent Baptist churches are opened by someone who is called to preach and He can and will remain pastor at that church so long as He continues to preach, whether it's 1 year or 100 years.
    ~Does not have a book that tells the pastor what to preach during the sermons.
    (I put the 2 above because from what I was told chain baptist churches like 1st and 2nd baptists change out preachers every so many years (7 I think it is), their pastors are hired and they have some type of book that tells them what to preach during their sermons. I don't know these to be facts though.)
