I have attended Alpha course and accepted Jesus as my Saviour. Along the way, God answered my prayer. A guy appeared in my life, walk me along, and he is a born christian. However, he is not from the same church as me. I have been praying for God's words. No answer to me. Anybody out there can share your views? If you were me, what would you do? Which church should I serve? The church who leads me to Christianity or his church?

hey, ouch,
I'm really glad you got a chance to do the alpha course, it really gives some great foundational information that makes it easier to know what christianity and having a relationship with God is about.And welcome to our family, by the way. :-)
I'm a born again christian, and I don't know which church you are going to now, but i would encourage you not to feel pressured by anyone as to where your home church should be.
I would try to find a place where you can connect with people maybe in your age group or in similar situations - many churches have different study groups or classes where you can bond with other christians and make some great friends that you can lean on and can grow with.
It's also great to find friends that have been walking with God for a long time; when I have questions, it's awesome to be able to go to someone for wisdom.
:-) God bless, and we celebrate with you. :-D

You should ask Jesus for understanding and he will open your eyes with it. Why join a church, as long as you study that is all Jesus cares about. Find a religion that teaches the bible word for word then you are getting somewhere. Remember the bible was not originally written in English so you need a Strongs Concordnance to take it back to the Greek and Hebrew. With those tools you don't need a church.

You both should pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead you to the church where HE wishes you to be. It is not necessary to change Churches unless GOD is leading you to change - because - as you have said, this is a boyfriend, NOT a husband.
If you feel led by God to go to a new fellowship - you should visit other fellowships and pray for God's leading. If you have no sence of leading - you may be meant to remain where you are.
Make no changes until your relationship is more committed, or until the Lord leads you somewhere else. (Marriage.)
Peace.

I could help you with that question a lot better if I knew what kind of church you attended that alpha class at and what kind of church he attends.
You might want to contact me privately with the answers to those questions.
As a former campus Pastor at ISU where we had on occasion over 12,000 attending our group, and we regularly had in the neighborhood of 2200 to 2400, I've learned a lot about the pros and cons of the various denomination which exist in USA.

ninety% of church homes are not serving God. Serving God has no longer something to do with Church geared up via guy.

Acts 17:24 "The God who made the international and each little thing in this is the Lord of heaven and earth and does no longer stay in temples geared up via palms. Isaiah sixty six:a million it fairly is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. the place is the homestead you will build for me? the place will my resting place be? 2 Corinthians 5:a million Now all of us comprehend that if the earthly tent we are living in is destroyed, we've a development from God, an eternal homestead in heaven, no longer geared up via human palms. guy has grew to become the Church right into a money elevating center in basic terms like the Temple whilst Jesus grew to become over tables and ran out the moneychangers and corrupt peddlers from the temple. Mark 7:9 And he (JESUS) suggested unto them, complete nicely ye reject the commandment of God, that ye could save your individual custom. guy has made his very own rules and regulations for following Christ Jesus. And Jesus suggested guy's custom extra effective than the word of God. all people is reported whilst the place and how they could desire to worship and what to positioned on and what to do and how plenty to offer>

Christianity is all those who follow Christ in faith. The Bible tells us that any way we choose to serve him is holy and good. Search yourself and pray to God on how you would like to serve him best, and then find the church that helps you to meet your spiritual calling.

You should serve God. It doesn't matter which church you go to what matters is that you do your best for God.God doesn't have a preference as to church's. He said where there are 3 or4 gathered together there I am also.

It's an impossible struggle that you wish to attempt. Each church will tell you that they will lead you to God.
My solution? Agnosticism.
