Do you have to go to church to go to heaven?

Answer 1

In order to edify one another and worship in spirit and in truth, it is necessary that we attend worship services. read Hebrews 10:24-27. if you didnt attend service how would you partake of the communion, the Lords supper? According to the Bible, the saints came together on the first day of the week to partake of the Lord's Supper. Christians are to partake of this Lord's Supper every Sunday in remembrance of Jesus until he returns. The Lord's Supper consists of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine. Acts 20:7 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

Answer 2

If that was true people would wouldn't stop building new churches to house the population that is growing. imagine how many churches would be needed in China :P
My advice to go to heaven.. (if that exists) .. dont do to the other what you dont want the other to do on you. (am not a native speaker but i hope you know what i mean)

Answer 3

well i know this, some people that do go to church will be going to hell. depends on circumstances if you have the holy spirit you would naturally want to fellowship and meet other christrians and in fact thats what the true church is just a body of people. why do you not want to go have you been damaged by some freaky christrian cult. if so get up dont give up and find the right place.
so you wont slide away to oblivion.

Answer 4

No! most people go to church with intent to get rid of their blunder. most people go to church to pretend they're praying. most people go to church so they can commit new sin just after they thought they'd been forgiven. most males go to church to find out if their female prospect is around. most females go to church to show off their new dress, shoes, cellphones, hairdos and even to find out if their male prospect is around. people goes to church only to observe other people do things which they shouldn't be doing inside church. the answer is NO! you can't go to heaven by solely going to church. if you wish to go to heaven, dont be too religious and do your duty as a good human being...

Answer 5

No, I live to go to heaven. I go to church B/C the Bible says forsake not to assemble yourselves. What about you? It matters more than just what's in you heart. You need to express it., share it, but don't force it.

Answer 6

I'd say you'd be best off trying. If you can't that is one thing, if you are lazy that is another. I personally hate going to church it is a burden to me, and I don't even have a religion, but if you like it or you want to give it your all then I'd say give it your best shot.

Answer 7

Definitely not. Treating your fellow human beings with unconditional tolerance and respect guarantees admission into heaven.

Answer 8

a Church is only a building. a congregation can meet anywhere in a home, in a business building, in the outdoors. it is the Ritual and Ceremonies performed to honor, adore, worship, praise, etc. THE CREATOR OF US ALL which are important not where.

Answer 9

No, no, NO...we must simply believe in our heart that Jesus was crucifed for our sin and rebellion, turn away from of our sinful and rebellious actions and attitudes, and confess with our mouths that Jesus is God the Son.

That's it...please don't let the legalists lead you into extra-biblical teachings.

Answer 10

If that's really the way it is, Heaven would be pretty sparsely populated.
