It would be like having a girlfriend who is with you for your money? I think God loves those who have faith no matter what religion. remember when God created man he didi not create many religions...we are all from the same place.....I cannot believe that a faithful person can kill another person in the name of God, when the person they killed believes in the same God....ie jewish, christian, or muslim we all believe in God.

Ephesians 2:8-9
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. "
You don't get into heaven because you went to church.

once you've requested Jesus to be your own Lord and savior then sure. in case you at the instantaneous are not pleased such as your cutting-edge church, ask God to practise guide you to a distinct one. One the position you should use the presents He has given you to assist others. you'll not in any respect attain your finished capacity in Christ without authentic relationships with different believers. Giving money decrease back is an act of grattitde for all that He has given you. you chosen to furnish to Him first, the quantity you provide or dont provide is that you may make your ideas up.

nope, not at all. In fact going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car. If I put on a #5 Eagles jersey would I be able to play football like Donovan McNabe????? There is only one way into heaven, trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you do that, going to church will have meaning to you and to your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Going to a building made by man called "church" has nothing whatsoever to do with getting into heaven.
Obeying God is being Heaven bound. God said to believe on whom He sent...The key to going to heaven is accepting Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

No matter what you may personally believe, Jesus Christ established the church and left it behind on earth to guide all to salvation in him.
Interestingly enough, he never wrote anything, including the Bible.
You profess to believe in God, yet you question his wisdom, and you even criticize the greatest fruit of his work, which is his church.
Then you claim to be saved by faith.
Faith in what?

Going to church absolutely does not get you in to Heaven, and not everybody believes in God. Not everybody believes in the same God. For myself there is one God He is our creater. The only way to Him is through His Son Jesus who died on the cross for our sins. Church is where we go to praise God and have fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Other religions may have other reasons and I cannot speak for what they believe.

You are right, God does love those who have faith. We must pray, rejoice, learn in fellowship so that we may grow our Faith. Church is an excellent place for this.

It is stated in the Bible that one does not have to ever enter in a church to get to heaven. All one has to do is believe that Jesus Christ is your savior and that he died for you. If two or more gather to talk about Jesus or to Jesus it is church. Going to church is to know more about God and to strenghten your relationship with God.

We do things because we are saved not in order to be saved. Even well people need to go to a doctor for checkups. We go to church weekly to help our faith to continue to grow.

Of the gods in the limelight, there is only One True God, the living God, the God of Israel. The other "gods" pale in comparison.
