Every church I look in to says they have the exclusive path to salvation and all of the others are sinners, fakes and misleaders.
One of them must be the real one but how do you know which.?

Go to the one that you are comfortable with. Do your research first. All religions lead to God and we are all creatures of God!

the Only way to Heaven is thru belief in Jesus as Son of God, that He died for your sins and was raised again to life. I dont believe there is One church that is right while all others are wrong. Find a church that teaches the Bible and only the Bible. Assembly of God is a good one, as is Baptist & Pentacostal. The important thing is that they teach salvation is thru Jesus only and not works or any other way to be saved. God's blessings to you. Also if you pray and ask God, He can lead you to a good church, repent and ask Jesus into your heart for salvation, then you will be saved (if you truely mean it) and He will help you find a good church home.

I would suggest that you pray for God's will concerning which church you should attend.
The one that preaches the Gospel is the real one. If any of the churches you attend preach things that are not Scriptural or whose representatives attempt to lead people into doing and thinking things that are not Scriptural are not churches you want to attend for worship and guidance.
How do you know? Read the New Testament, study it, and become well acquainted with Jesus. The more you do this, the louder the falsehoods preached by certain churches will ring out to your ears.

Before you join anything you should check out what the teachings are. I recommend reading the gospels- You can start with a short one like mark. The read the book of Acts. Then see which group labeled Christian fits most with the teachings you read about. For example Jesus said that his followers would be identified by their love for eachother and for even their enemies John 13:34, 35. Matthew 5 33,34. Also Pray - God cares and will direct you.

I asked myself the same question for years until I found the church and religion I belonged. Not all same religion churches are the same so I went to a few and met the pastor to make sure I would make the right choice for me. But I agree that you have to find a church and the religion that you are most comfortable with and agress with your views of faith. I hope this helps.

I think many Churches have some of the truth but the fullness of the Truth is in the Catholic Church--started by Jesus and the Apostles. Sometimes you can tell by who the enemy loves to hurt the most--guess what ?

John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I would recommend finding a Spirit filled Church, one that follows the Holy Bible and urges a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Religion is man's way of trying to reach God.
Relationship is God's way of reaching us through Jesus Christ.
The only people getting into Heaven are those with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Find a church where they dont have much money, a poor church. they seem to have better outlooks on it all. But really the only church you need is inside yourself, you already have a link to god. Churches help in regards that we all need each other and to socialize to have good mental health.

Go to whichever church makes you feel the most comfortable. Try going to services at a few different places. Eventually you will find a church where you fit right in and agree with their teachings.

I recognize that your question is a slap at religion but the Quakers will never tell you they are the only path to salvation.

Go to different churches in your area. Be faithful to the one that makes you feel comfortable. If they preach Jesus died for your sins they are on the right track.
