No, he was not.
Lincoln never formally adopted any single church, although he frequently referenced The Bible and the JudaeoChristian god. He was raised in a Baptist family, but visited a Presbyterian church in later life; he and his wife tried spiritualism at one point.
He might be considered a nondenominational Christian by some, and a nonbeliever or skeptic by others.
Apparently yes. Lincoln was baptized by a preacher for the Church of Christ.
The chronology is as follows:
1832 - Josephus Hewett (friend of Baker) organizes Church of Christ in Springfield, Illinois.
1830's - Thomas and Sarah became members of the Church of Christ in Coles County, Illinois, (Abraham Lincoln was not present).
1846 - Lincoln publishes paper denying religious affiliation.
1861 - E.D. Baker (preacher for Church of Christ) was a close friend of Lincoln and introduced him at his inauguration.
1862 - Lincoln attended a gospel meeting conducted by W.H. Morris.
1860's - Lincoln was baptized secretly by John O'Kane (died 1881).
1866? - O'Kane visits G.M. Weimer who reports the above baptism.
1942 - G.M. Weimer (died 1942, age 86) reports the above to C.O. Summers (Weimer letter on file at Freed-Hardeman University Restoration Library).
