Answer 1

There is not one soul on here who can tell you this(Not One)
Only God will judge you and only He knows your heart.
I don't go to church, I personally have yet to find one that actually teaches more that just skim milk...We need the preachers of the olden times that stood there and taught you the whole milk with the cream, not just what they want you to learn

Answer 2

God is not the Church, you could be stuck on a desert Island with nothing but a few coconut trees and it won't send you to hell. A person can go to church every week and have the same chance of getting into heaven as a person who has never been to church. It is the good you do in this world and your approach and attitude that will keep you in the good books.

As I said God is not the church, and to clarify that for anyone who wants to misinterpret that...The church is a body of people dedicated to the worship of God.

I think God would rather you try to continue to do good than be worried that you haven't gone to church every Sunday.

Answer 3

Unless you are born again you will not see the kingdom of God (Jn:3:3) no amount of church attendance will take you to heaven, you need to have a relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ. And its by his grace that we are saved (Eph; 2:8) no amount of works will take you to heaven,the Bible says that our works are like filthy rugs in the sight of God. Just how much work is enough to bring you salvation? we cannot perform enough works, that's why its only through Jesus and the works of the Cross that we are made righteous. Religion is an enemy of God true Christianity is a relationship with God. So my friend find God while he can still be found, the time is ticking.

Answer 4

There are parts of your question I do not fully understand. Did you mean to say you feel you have a one on one relationship with God? If you have such a relationship with the Spirit that is indeed all you need. Perhaps you are a bit new with this relationship with the Spirit and need reassurance. After all you were taught as a child that a man had the right to determine your relationship to God and the outcome of your life and the future of your soul. However if you discuss this with the Spirit He will lead you into truth.
P.S. Ask Him what His name is. Be ready for a surprise.

Answer 5

It's not how much worship you put in, but rather what you "put in" to the worship. Meaning, live a quality life, follow God's guidance as best you can and don't worry about the small stuff. And who cares if you didn't go to church every Sunday. Jesus didn't attend church every Sunday too.

Answer 6

Michelle has a good answer, but it is not only important that God knows where you stand it is important to know where you stand with God. Preachers do need to preach like they did years ago and not just preach the love and fluff message, they need to preach the meat of the word. People need to get into reading the scriptures as well and study, find a church that teaches good sound doctrine and start learning and studying on your own as well.

Answer 7

sounds like you are already in hell...don't u feel guilty of worshiping an evil entity that u believe will torture u if u don't go sit in a room every sunday!
If there's a God..all he wants u to do is make the best use of the gifts he gave u...a brain, a heart and the only life you'll EVER have! Make the best out of it! Stay out of the cookie-cutter!

Answer 8

You can't go to heaven through works - you need to obtain salvation.

John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.


How to receive Christ:-

1. Admit your need (I am a sinner)
2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Saviour)

If you decide that you want to receive Jesus, prayer the following prayer:-

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Saviour.
In Jesus' name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, the Bible says:-

Romans 10:13 So then, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Ephesians 2:8 God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God.
Ephesians 2:9 It's not the result of anything you've done, so no one can brag about it.

One more thing, when a person acccepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, the angels in Heaven rejoice!!!

God Bless You!!!

Answer 9

Your story highlights the biggest flaw in Christianity, namely that it's primarily a fear based religion. You're afraid that if you don't feel close to God or if you don't follow the rules of the church you'll roast for eternity. Isn't it sad that your church has you living in terror of a god that supposedly loves you so much? Doesn't this tell you something about your church?

Answer 10

no you don't have to go to church to go to
heaven..their are allot of people in church
that will not get into heaven..what you need is to read your bible, and let Jesus do the rest..church is for fellowship, so you can be with other people that believe the same way
you do ..as far as not feeling moved by church you need to try other churches until
you find the right one ..you should fell the spirit went you get to the right church for you

Answer 11

Nobody of us could tell you whether you are going to hell or heaven as regards to your story.

Anyway you can read and read the bible until you could understand it and ask God to help you understand it, then time comes you will be called by God to serve him.

Its good you have quit from Catholics but be sure someday you could find a religion which is true to your belief.
