Hello and good morning, Whats important is not what kind of church you go to, what matters is our relationship with our GOD, and believe his word, and apply the word in your life, and have a Good prayer life, as long as Jesus is lord over your life,:)
What's important is truth. If you aren't walking in the truth nothing else matters. God can't be divorced from truth.

"For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 1 John 3:3-4

Mormons believe in Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jesus. Roman Catholics believe in Jesus. You could throw a dart blindfolded and hit a cult that says they believe in Jesus. Yes, Jesus is the truth; but there are a lot of false Jesuses out there who aren't the truth.

true . and these people don't have a relationship with Jesus, this is what makes us different, we walk in the truth, we know the truth, they are into religion, we must tell them,

Brother proutled I beg to differ with you on what Church you attend. IT DOES MATTER!!! As you may well know many have left the church, and unfortunately there is good reason for that. If the body of Christ has no order which the Lord commands (1 Cor 14:40) you cannot be in order. If the Church allows its body to have sin, such as fornication or adultery.

The candlestick of that church is removed, and the Lord will not move in that Church which hurts the entire body of Christ. The Church, the REAL Church cares about its members, they check to make sure the body is healthy. For if a part of the body is hurting the whole-body hurts. Ever have a tooth ache for example??

It's not just your tooth that hurts the stomach also is not feeling too good either. lol the pastor and his elders must stay on their toes, to ensure the body of Christ is functioning properly! So, it matters greatly to what Church you attend, because the whole point of the Church is to ensure one's growth not just for yourself, but for the entire body. LOVE is an action, not a feeling.

Please read and consider (James 2:14-26) Also words matter greatly as well!! The very first lesson the Lord taught me was a great change in what I say about myself as well as others.( james3:1-5) and if one is both taught this and follows in this THEN!!!! and only then can God's wisdom also become part of both you and the body of Christ because you are walking in the truth!!( James 3:13-18) I am not rebuking you good brother just having you consider some points that may have escaped you!!( James 1:22!!!) Blessing to you all !

Hello good morning, I think you might be missing what my point was, I believe in the church, and the hole word of God, and having a relationship with Jesus, yes God is a God of order, Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father must come thew Jesus, there are many denominations that are the body of Christ, all are very important, if you don't believe in the hole word of God, and being redeemed by the blood of the lamb, and having the holy spirit in side of you, some people dont believe these truths, I love the Catholics, methodists Baptists Pentecostals and so on, I love them all, Im judging no one, for I hope is for every one to come to the knowledge of God, though the cross, putting our faith in Jesus, knowing him ,he love for us, walking in he's love,
