Where would you worship if you couldn't find your denomination. Why?

And where wouldn't you worship. Why?

Let's say you travelled or migrated to a new region (school area, City, village, new country etc). You explore a bit but, can't find your denomination nearby. I don't think that would stop you from going to other churches or a worship centers.
You may state your denomination in the comment section.

Ezekiel 34 vs 9-16 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. So, you shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord!
10. The Lord God says, “I am against the shepherds. I will demand my sheep from them. I will fire them. They will not be my shepherds anymore. Then the shepherds will not be able to feed themselves, and I will save my flock from their mouths. Then my sheep will not be food for them.”
11. The Lord God says, “I myself will be their Shepherd. I will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12. If a shepherd is with his sheep when they begin to wander away, he will go searching for them. In the same way I will search for my sheep. I will save them and bring them back from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.
13. I will bring them back from those nations. I will gather them from those countries and bring them back to their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the places where people live.
14. I will lead them to grassy fields. They will go to the place high on the mountains of Israel and lie down on good ground and eat the grass. They will eat in rich grassland on the mountains of Israel.
15. Yes, I will feed my flock, and I will lead them to a place of rest.” This is what the Lord God said.

16. “I will search for the lost sheep. I will bring back the sheep that were scattered and put bandages on the sheep that were hurt. I will make the weak sheep strong, but I will destroy the fat and powerful shepherds. I will feed them the punishment they deserve.”

Okay whatever that was, you can simply answer based on the topic question or just pass. That shouldn't be too difficult. Thank you.

Kobojunkiee:
I would take the time instead to properly remind myself again that those so called shepherd(pastors/priests/preachers) where not called or appointed by God, nor anointed by Him -Read Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 31, and the teachings of Jesus Christ to confirm this.

Then I would focus instead on and working out my own Salvation which is between God and myself- God said He alone is Teacher/Shepherd/Master/ Authority over those who belong in His flock.

Righteousness2:
In this time and age of technology If you don't find your denomination, you can worship online right in your Home.

You could also check our likeminded Belivers around you and worship with them.

You could also start up a Fellowship center with Fellow believers

Stephenmoka4:
From your answer, it seems you'll worship at a like minded place.

HealerH:
See how modern-day Christians reason.
So you forcibly need a Church to worship God? So how did you cope during the Covid lockdown when Churches were closed?

Grow up Christians. The Church is a building where you meet to worship God as a "Community". And to some extent, it is not always accessible to you. The true Church that is never unavailable to you is YOU.

Stephenmoka4:
The people go to a place to worship, we do our personal prayers, family prayers etc but, we also worship with others. Even Jesus didn't worship God alone all the time.

AsherAmari:
I'm an RCCG member but if it happens I can't find my denomination anywhere I go visiting, I'll either attend Deeper life Bible Church or MFM

I wouldn't attend any white garment gathering because they are fetish in their practices.

Also, I wouldn't attend kingdom Hall because some of their beliefs are upside down. They can twist the Bible even when you can see it clearly.

I love everyone though. Not hating on anyone.

The church is not a building. The Church is the gathering of the children of God. The saints.

Kobojunkiee:
So how many of those who gather in those buildings with you are in fact Children of God?

\

AsherAmari:

I'm refering to those who are genuinely born-again.

Kobojunkiee:
How many of those that you currently physically gather with are genuinely born again?

AsherAmari:

That's left for God to determine. Not me.

Kobojunkiee:
So you admit that when you gather in your church buildings like you do then, you don't do it according to God's definition of His Church(God's gathering is only of those who are truly born again), you do it instead according to man's specification?

This ought to reveal to you that God is not in your church gatherings at all.
This because, accordng to you, God alone knows those who truly belong to Him. Meaning that He alone can gather His sheep(Church), and not your pastors(false shepherds) and priests, who, by the way are not called or anointed by God as shepherds over His flock. Ezekiel 34.

AsherAmari:

God is in our gathering and peradventure there's anyone in the gathering who is not genuinely born-again, he will eventually get born-again because the essence of the gathering is to minister to the lost sheep ( non born-again). For Christ said he didn't come for those who are already healed but those who are sick. So everyone is welcomed.

Kobojunkiee:
Where are you told by Jesus Christ that the essence of gathering is to minister to the lost sheep?

You just admitted that it is possible that there are no genuine born-again in your gatherings since only God knows those who belong to Him, so how can you continue to assert that your gatherings are onto Him when it is by and according to the scheduled of men who are not called or appointed and not anointed by God - Ezekiel 34 ?

Jesus Christ said He did not come for the righteous but for the sinners. However, the gathering of His Church, which He spoke of is instead a gathering of genuine born agains - not of genuine born agains and sinners.

AsherAmari:
So are you saying they should be sent away?

When Jesus Christ used to gather the multitude to minister to them, did he ever send anyone away on the basis of not being born-again? He preached to all alike and his followers keep increasing in their numbers.

You know these things but that thing that is controling you just keeps telling you to twist things.

Kobojunkiee:
The multitude Jesus Christ taught His teachings to where not His Church. And in many cases, they gathered around Him and not at His calling of them to. He taught His followers to do as He did, when He sent them out into the towns and places as well.

But when Jesus Christ spoke of His Church, He spoke of the gathering of His sheep .i.e. born-agains.

So your gatherings which consists not only of potentially born-again folks but of sinners, isn't what Jesus Christ meant when He spoke of His church.

Also since your churches are led by men who themselves are against God, your gatherings are definitely not of Him but of men who have set themselves as authorities over you.

AsherAmari:

Says you.

Kobojunkiee:
Open that book to the 4 Gospels and read it for yourself so you learn the truth of God from the lies you have been fed by the fraudsters posing as shepherds anointed by God.

Ezekiel 34, God declares Himself against them. If you use your head, you will reason that it God is against them, then nothing they do in His name is true.

AsherAmari:

Are you any different? Do you do all that God commands in the Bible?

Look I don't go to church to follow men of God to do the will of my father in heaven. So if they like let them deceive, if they like, let them not, I'm not after all that. All I'm after is the word of God.

hoopernikao:

Bro, it is your teaching that is against God. Your teaching intend to put to naught that which God seek for. I have told you before, you have to repent from this. A servant doesn't stand against him Masters practices. You are standing against that which was seen in Christ and God all through the scriptures.

Stephenmoka4:

God didn't forbid worshipping together, that's what I meant in reference to the topic and that comment.

After Christ ascended, check out the apostolic missions and things they did, check out the events of Paul etc.

Praying together, evangelism, teaching, preaching etc were all these doctrines of man? or was it against God. Are they not carried out till today? (I don't want to derail the topic, let it be)
