No, you have to go to Jesus.

Bible answer, Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together. Some are in the habit of doing this. Instead, let us cheer each other up with words of hope. Let us do it all the more as you see the day coming when Christ will return.
The TRUE Christian does not "go to church" since "church" means a group of PEOPLE, not a building. The church exists to help one another and was God's plan from the beginning. - Matthew 16:18 Here is what I tell you. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The gates of hell will not be strong enough to destroy it.

No, you can be saved sitting in front of your computer if the Holy Spirit gives you the gift of faith and you invite Jesus into your heart. Click on the "Get Saved" button @ http://www.express56.com/~bromar for more information on the subject.
As to different religions and denominations, the Bible teaches that God only has one church and it is made up of all of the born again believers in Christ Jesus. Denominations were not God's idea, they were man's idea and they were a bad idea. If you want to go to church go to a good non-denominational one like http://www.alcf.net or at least go to a Bible teaching, gospel preaching one like most Baptist churches are.
Don't get caught up in one of those churches where they preach "gospel lite" - less filling tastes great. The Bible says to come out of "Babylon" which is a religious system that has been corrupted by money and the things of this world.

I dont know what u mean by : come out her my people
But if you believed from ur heart in Jesus as your savior and that God has resurrected him from death then you are saved (that's what the bible says)(going to church is not the key
But anyway it is not about being saved or not it is about having a relationship with GOD and to know his love,if u knew his love then u will be really saved now on earth and then,
Because our satisfaction and peace is in GOD
God's love was revealed completely when he sends his son to die for our sins
Now for me,i will not tell you that i believe 100% in what i said
but what i really know is that god has really that love and i will pursue him because i need him (i guess we all need him)
Especially that he offers that love so i will be foolosih if i did not examine and live in this love
And anyway i dont think that anything can offer the satisfaction that i beliece he can offer
U know GOD is great and perfect so why not follow the greatness and his perfection instead of following and get satisfied by other cheap things

No. But Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. There are some good churches around. Pray that God will direct you to one. If there's nothing in your area, maybe you can get a group of Christian friends together and meet with them on a regular basis at someone's house to pray, study the Bible and sing a few hymns.

To be a good person and believe in the name of the Lord is more than enough. However, God gives you so much throughout the whole week. He gives you life and happiness in the life whether you can find it or not. After all this, you can't devote an hour of your week for God? You can't spend maybe even half an hour in a church praying or lighting a candle. Don't you owe him that much?
Thats all he ever asks.

No you don't.
Jesus said that God is everywhere (Omnipresent) if you go to a remote lake and sit on a rock and Pray, that is better then any church.
And You can also Baptize yourself.
No man has the power to wash away your sins, Only God does.
EDIT: I Have a saying that you might enjoy :)

Heb 10:
22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another— and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

The truth lies within your heart, nobody can tell you differently. Of course they can tell you, but you know yourself best. Different churches, denominations, religions resonate within a person's heart, meaning that is the right place for them. Maybe they are all wrong, I don't know, and you may know, but the answer lies within you. Your probably annoyed that I didn't give you a real answer, just told you to look at yourself. Whatever answer you do find, or don't find, accept it. Don't fear it, because it is part of you. Well, I'm done blabbering my fingers/mouth now.

To be saved, not really... but to continue growing in your faith, it is highly recommended. If you are interested in doing both, the BEST place for you to begin is at the Billy Graham website. Their organization is just a wonderful, Christ-filled ministry, and they work with many Christ-based churches all over the WORLD. They will be glad to help you find the right church for you to grow your faith in our Lord. Please see the website below.

No you don't have to go to church to be save. Church is not a building, it any group of believers. Repent and Confess Jesus as you Lord and savior. That what you need to do to be saved.
