Or do you just act good at church and live how you want the rest of the week. Or do you say you are a Christian and do not go to church?

Yes, we are called to be open books so that all can see. We are supposed to be living testemonies, to live what we preach.
Remember Jesus said that not everyone that calls him Lord will enter the kingdom, but those who do His will. Many people say they are christians, but at the end of the day, if they don't live the way God tells them, they are liars.
1st of John 1:6-10:
"6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

Oh, yes... I love to, because I love my Jesus! The rest of the week I do what I want, which is doing good and loving and pleasing God. I live in a really small town a long way from a church that I like or that I fit in with... so I don't go to church as often as I would like to, although I read my bible, worship and pray all the time, everyday. I have a few friends i fellowship with, even though a couple of them believe slightly different things than I do... they love God just as much.

Yes, I am a Christian, but do not go to Church, but I live for God everyday.. Do you think an earthly Church is what makes a Christian ? All who believe and worship in Spirit, from any earthly Church, or none, are the true body of Christ, which is His Church and the only Church.

I do strive to live for God daily, but in all truthfulness, Sunday is not my best day....it tends to bring out my weakness and insecurities. Often I am the outsider and it shows!
I have personally seen the people attend services to show off their goodness, designer clothing, new vehicles etc. I have felt like I wasn't good enough because of the clothes I don't have or the vehicle I don't drive.
Although I do enjoy and benefit from worship services, I find many are too structured for my tastes..
My husband's career dictates that we move around frequently, and when I enter a new area, I have learned to seek out the smallest, poorest looking, church of like faith.....
They are usually the most humble and welcoming.

I am probably more actively living for God during the week, than when I sit in church on a Sunday.
Sunday's are opportunities to be fed by the preaching of God's Word, and then we have the opportunity to go out and put that into practise, in the week days.

I try to live for God every minute of every day. I love Jesus and talk to Him often. I go to church because I like the fellowship and teaching that I get there and especially enjoy the company of believers in worship. What a treat to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
I no longer live as I have lived before knowing Jesus.... and it's not hard either. The closer I get to God, the farther I am draw away from my sin.
blessings :)

A true Chritian is one who follow Jesus. WE are to be like Him every day, all day. Not just to imitate Him at church IF we arent acting like Jesus every moment of every day, then we are not really followers OF Jesus, and therefore not even Christian. PPL who only act good for church are only giving God lip service, and God knows the heart. Only those that will be like Jesus all the time are the ones that will be saved Also God tells us to not give up fellowshipping with one another, to easy to get discouraged when you arent around other followers of Jesus. so we are to go to church. For those who say they cant find on still teaching truth, keep trying, but i fyou dont find one, start your own church and use only the Bible for the teachings Some live in small towns with no church, and they must do their own, be it in their homes out out in the wilderness> Church is church, its not the building, its our hearts. we can do church at home too, but God tells us to never give up fellowingshipping with one another, as we are to grow togerhe,r learn from each other, and encourage one another> no other way to go. and we are to live like Jesus all thru the week, and all thru the weekend, 7 days a week and love it. ONce we have the midset of JEsus, we will love this life and miss nothing of the world. IN fact the more like Jesus we become, the more the things of the world repulse us, just like they do GOD.

I am a Christian, and I try to obey Gods Holy Law to the best of my ability. That includes keeping 7th day Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
I don't just go to church on Sun-day for a few hours and then do what I like the rest of the day and then claim that I keep that day "Holy" as many do. How can a mere man make a day Holy, only God can do that. And there is only one day God sanctified and blessed in the Bible and that day is Sabbath.

Nope. I pray each and each nighttime @ 7:00 with my relatives. it is my very own church. risk-free with human beings i comprehend and love different than random creeps. My way of being a believer isn't via listening to what others say e.g. Y!A purchasers. What do I do? I examine the Bible and that i pray on my own. no longer any edited Bible like the Catholic for the reason that Bible provides and edits stuff that's against God's policies. it particularly is a great sin and blunder. purely examine any generic Bible. it is all in there. The e book of lives policies.

Every day for sure yo. Must be a living example. A light for the world to see. Jesus said that if you keep your light hid others can not see it. If you are a Sunday Church house Christian only than you have a light nobody can see. I say you don't have a light at all if that is you.
