no. i know many people who go to church for the sake of others and they really don't care to be there. if you are living your life as God wants it, then I would say you're a religious christian, but even though many people label themselves with a certain religion, doesn't necessarily make them religious.

Nope.
I once heard that going to church all the time doesn't make you a Christian any more than walking into a garage makes you a car.
You have only to accept the salvation that God offers through his Son, Jesus. Often, there will be an altar call at church services where you can do this, or you can speak to your preacher or someone else in the church who can pray with you and give you any information you might need.
God bless!

No, friend, it doesn't. There are guys in the hinterlands of the Orient right this minute flagellating themselves in religious ceremonies achieving very real ecstasy. But this is in the flesh. Religion is like walking. Without a destination it is a pointless waste of energy. Faith - in some One not some thing has it in a nutshell. Read the book of books. Get your cue from that. Not religion. A church. Mankind. Or me. Alright? Have a nice day.

no, just because you go to church doesn't mean you're religious u could go to church and fall asleep or you could go to church and take in what the priest say then contemplate on it later when u go home also u don't have to go to church or whatever u believe in to become religious.

yes. or whatever ever religion you so happen to believe in. being spiritual means you don't necessarily care about the churches guidelines but instead set your own path and follow accordingly.

no, you are only truly religious if you believe in what you hear at church and you follow what is pleasing in the sight of god.
