Question

If you are a christen does that mean you have to go to church. My husband says you do but I dont agree. Isnt my salvation between me and god?

Answer 1

'I DON'T have to belong to a church or go to church regularly in order to believe in God!' That is how many people feel about membership in a church or in any religious organization. In fact, some say that they feel closer to God when enjoying nature outdoors than when attending a religious service in a church. Today, it is a commonly held opinion that affiliation with a religious group or denomination is not a prerequisite for belief in God.
Others, however, sincerely feel differently. They contend that church membership and attendance are necessary, even vital, if one is to have God's approval. So the question of whether religious affiliation is really necessary is more than just a matter of statistical or academic interest. In any case, since our relationship with God is involved, would it not be logical to find out God's view on the matter? What, then, can we learn from his Word, the Bible, on this subject?
How God Dealt With People in the Past
Almost 4,400 years ago, a catastrophic flood struck the entire earth. Such an event could not easily be forgotten, and peoples the world over have stories about it in their early history. Although differing in details, these stories have much in common, including the fact that only a few humans and some animals survived.
Were the Flood survivors simply individuals fortunate enough to have randomly escaped destruction? The Bible account shows that this was not the case. Significantly, God did not inform each individual about the coming Flood. Rather, he told Noah, who in turn warned his contemporaries of the approaching Deluge.—Genesis 6:13-16; 2 Peter 2:5.
Survival depended on being part of this close-knit group and on being willing to accept God's direction given to Noah. Even the animals in the ark that survived the Flood did not do so apart from this group. Precise instructions were given to Noah to make appropriate provisions for the preservation of animal life.—Genesis 6:17 –7:8.
Centuries later, descendants of Noah through his son Shem came into bondage in Egypt. Yet, God's purpose was to free them and bring them to the land that he had promised their forefather Abraham. Once again, this was not revealed to each individual but was first revealed to those chosen to be their leaders—Moses and his brother, Aaron. (Exodus 3:7-10; 4:27-31 ) After the former slaves were delivered as a group from Egypt, they were given God's Law at Mount Sinai and formed into the nation of Israel.—Exodus 19:1-6.
Deliverance was possible for individual Israelites only because they were associated with a divinely established group and followed the direction of this group's appointed leaders. Provisions were even made for individual Egyptians to associate with this group that obviously had divine approval. When the Israelites left Egypt, these individuals went with them, thus putting themselves in line for God's blessing.—Exodus 12:37, 38.
Then, in the first century, Jesus began his preaching activity, gathering people together as his disciples. He dealt with them as a group, though he also directed loving attention to individuals according to their needs. To the 11 faithful apostles, Jesus said: "You are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom." (Luke 22:28, 29 ) Later, God's holy spirit came upon the disciples when they were together as a group.—Acts 2:1-4.
These examples clearly show that in the past God has always dealt with his people as an organized group. The few individuals with whom God had dealings personally—Noah, Moses, Jesus, and others—were, in fact, used by Him to communicate with a closely associated group. There is no reason to believe that God deals any differently with his servants today. Of course, this gives rise to another question: Will affiliation with just any religious group suffice? This is a vital question and needs to be answered!

Answer 3

Your salvation is between you and God but the bible recommends spending time with others of like faith. You won't loose your salvation just because you don't attend worship. I have not attended church regularly for nearly 3 years and I know if affects my spiritual attitude. I'm still mad at God for taking my wife away from me when He could have spared her mind. Now I have her but she is only 10% functional. Don't spend time challenging your husband. Spend every minute you have loving him and going to church with him.

Answer 4

If you are a Christian,why do you not want to go to church?
Jesus said we are the body,is the body whole if missing an ear.
You miss church ,you are keeping the body from being whole.
You can not learn ,without a teacher.The gifts are given to the church to lift up the body.If you do not go to church you are not obeying Jesus.
There are a lot of verses to back up going to church.If a person tells you you do not need to go .They are young and unlearned in the word.
Your husband is the head of the home,you sound rebellious.
You need to pray.I ask God to give you wisdom.<><

Answer 5

yes your salvation is between you and God, just cause one goes to church does not mean he/she is closer to God, why go to church once a week to show God you care, do it everyday and God shall be with you always. Church is a place of unity, in reality the only thing that truly is is God.

Answer 6

It is, indeed. But, you miss out on alot of things by not attending: fellowship & developing strong Christian friendships, accountability (although, being married, this may not be an issue), a higher level of teaching & learning than most can/try to accomplish on their own, opportunities for service within the Body & community.

Also, if your husband believes it is in your best interest to go, I'd suggest going - you're supposed to be in loving submission to him, & he is held responsible for your spiritual growth. This one issue could be a breaking point in many Christian marriages.

If you have children, this disharmony may lead to their lack of spiritual maturity as well. It may also create a breeding ground for conflicts between you, as parents & the children, as they may start pitting you against your husband in any number of matters.

Lastly, remember Paul's admonition: Hebrews 10: 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Answer 7

You don't have to go to church to be saved. But the bible says that we should not miss being assembled together to worship. God would prefer you to be part of the Body of Christ, but if you don't go to church, it is not an unfogivable sin. Make sure that you ask for forgiveness.

Answer 8

Your salvation is between you and God. But the bible does say to assemble ourselves together. It is through the strength of a group and their support that makes it easier to get through the days in this corrupt old world.

Answer 9

Hbr 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Answer 10

The church is the body of Christ and if you are a Christian you are meant to be part of that body. The body works as a whole, each part has a purpose. There is some Church out there that is missing a part that was meant for you. Find the rest of your body.
