Which church is the true church? How many of you belong to it?

Answer 1

Who wants to bet that almost every person that answers says their church is the true church?

Answer 2

Any Christian Church that teaches the teachings of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit is a true church.

There is no Christian Church denomination that is "The Right/True Church" that is apart from the others. If it is Christian .... it is true, from a Christian perspective.

Christianity is the church ..... denominations are just the different chairs within that church. Presbyterians, Methodists, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Episcopalians, Greek Orthodox, Congregationalists (United Church Of Christ), all have Jesus, the Christ as taught in the Bible as a basis of their faith. That makes them true.

There are, of course, off shoots from this church that have veered away from the true teachings of Jesus and God. The MAY include Jehovah's Witnesses, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but that is always a debate in and of itself.

Answer 3

The LDS church teaches that it is the "true" church. You are not required to believe this, but many do. What is important to understand is the significance of that teaching.

"...But beyond these it is the Church and kingdom of God established and directed by our Eternal Father and His Beloved Son, the risen Lord Jesus Christ, to bless all who come within its fold.

We declare without equivocation that God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, appeared in person to the boy Joseph Smith.

When I was interviewed by Mike Wallace on the 60 Minutes program, he asked me if I actually believed that. I replied, “Yes, sir. That’s the miracle of it.”

That is the way I feel about it. Our whole strength rests on the validity of that vision. It either occurred or it did not occur. If it did not, then this work is a fraud. If it did, then it is the most important and wonderful work under the heavens." -

Answer 4

The church is us (christians/people). Not a building, not a religion. I go to a building, where i assemble with other christians, but we the people are the true church.

Answer 5

Scripture never mentions using "which church came first" as the basis for determining which is the "true" church. What it does teach is that one is to use Scripture as the determining factor as to which church is preaching the truth and thus is true to the first church. It is especially important to compare Scripture with a church's teaching on such core issues as the full deity and humanity of Christ, the atonement for sin through His blood on Calvary, salvation from sin by grace through faith, and the infallibility of the Scriptures. The “first church” and “one true church” is recorded in the New Testament. That is the church that all churches are to follow, emulate, and model themselves after.

Answer 6

If you belong to a relgious group then hopfully you believe it is the ONE true religion.

How Can You Find the True Religion?

Are all religions pleasing to God, or is just one? Why are there so many religions that claim to be Christian? How can you identify true Christians? 

1. Jesus started one true Christian religion. So today there must be just one body, or group, of true worshipers of Jehovah God. (John 4:23, 24; Ephesians 4:4, 5) The Bible teaches that only a few people are on the narrow road to life.—Matthew 7:13, 14.

2. The Bible foretold that after the death of the apostles, wrong teachings and unchristian practices would slowly come into the Christian congregation. Men would draw away believers to follow them instead of Christ. (Matthew 7:15, 21-23; Acts 20:29, 30) That is why we see so many different religions that claim to be Christian. How can we identify true Christians?

3. The most outstanding mark of true Christians is that they have real love among themselves. (John 13:34, 35) They are not taught to think that they are better than people of other races or skin color. Neither are they taught to hate people from other countries. (Acts 10:34, 35) So they do not share in wars. True Christians treat one another as brothers and sisters.—1 John 4:20, 21.

4. Another mark of true religion is that its members have a deep respect for the Bible. They accept it as the Word of God and believe what it says. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17) They treat God’s Word as being more important than human ideas or customs. (Matthew 15:1-3, 7-9) They try to live by the Bible in their everyday life. So they do not preach one thing and then practice another.—Titus 1:15, 16.

5. The true religion must also honor God’s name. (Matthew 6:9) Jesus made God’s name, Jehovah, known to others. True Christians must do the same. (John 17:6, 26; Romans 10:13, 14) Who are the people in your community that tell others about God’s name?

6. True Christians must preach about God’s Kingdom. Jesus did so. He always talked about the Kingdom. (Luke 8:1) He commanded his disciples to preach this same message in all the earth. (Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20) True Christians believe that only God’s Kingdom will bring true peace and security to this earth.—Psalm 146:3-5.

7. Jesus’ disciples must be no part of this wicked world. (John 17:16) They do not get involved in the world’s political affairs and social controversies. They avoid the harmful conduct, practices, and attitudes that are common in the world. (James 1:27; 4:4) Can you identify a religious group in your community that has these marks of true Christianity?

True Christians love one another, respect the Bible, and preach about God’s Kingdom

Answer 7

The Catholic Church is the true Church in that it is the Church that Jesus Christ Himself established and because it teaches the Truth.

But all Catholics don't go to Heaven. Neither do all Protestants. Those who die in a state of grace will eventually be in Heaven.

Every day is a battle. I am a sinner. I need God's help as much as anybody. Salvation can be lost as easily as it can be won.

God bless you.
