The church you worship has nothing to do with your relationship with God neither does it give you automatic visa to heaven


This is a serious challenge in d church of today. we are focusing our attention on things that are irrelevant with regards to our relationship with God an eternity as well as ignoring d important things we ought to know ..whatever denomination you worship is not as important as worshiping God in spirit and in truth. This is what God is interested in and not whether u are a deeper life, chosen,Redeem,catholic or not. you can be an Apostolic or Presbyterian member to d core and yet ur relationship with God is nothing to write home about.The church has received d gift of the spirit which worketh in them to will and to do that which pleases the father...your denomination has nothing to with your relationship with God ooooo


I stand to be corrected though
Happy Sunday all

Religion as a whole does not guarantee Heaven... Most Christians are just busy deceiving themselves...
They would be surprised on the Judgement day...

faith and faith alone grantee us to heaven, going to church is part of the work we are require to do and we will be rewarded for that

You will only get your reward in church

But if you were born into a Christian home, your guarantee is that you are already in heaven like that.
Ask me how, i will explain

not only in the church

Following the historic background of Christianity in the bible and where the religion originated ,you will discover that everyone who believed in Christ at the time Jesus was crucified started Christianity. They were just 120 people. Act 1:15.
And Jesus says whosever believe have eternal life.
So, what is eternal life?
Eternal life is simply heaven on earth or God's kingdom as mentioned by Jesus in his parables.
And what is God's kingdom?
It is simply our faith (Christianity)
Cos, without faith it is impossible to please God.
In conclusion, every adherents of this faith(Christianity) are in heaven already.
Infact they are the heaven themselves.
All power was freely given to them on the cross.
There is no other heaven

not only in the church

Who else do you think will reward you for being pastor, usher, choir member, instrumentalist, etc, but the congregation?
Will government, schools, banks, business men pay you for being committed to religious activities?
I don't think so

heavenly rewards

heavenly rewards

This is where you are making the mistake.
Heaven is me and you on earth.
We are the ones to reward ourselves by showing love and ministering to people and receiving the same from people here on earth(be it in church or elsewhere).
And if people in church fail to reward their pastors and church workers, they go home with nothing after doing the work and God will still remain God looking at you people.
So, you pray hard thinking that God has not yet answered your prayer meanwhile the answer to your prayer lies with your neighbour who has deliberately refused to reward you for your labour of love

Why catholics believe otherwise is what I don't get.
