1 | DOES GOING 2 CHURCH SAVE U? | Acts 16:31 | HighTenor | 153161 | ||
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that church attendance is required to receive salvation -- indeed, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9 NIV). However, when you become a Christian, you not only enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, but you also become a part of his Church, which includes all fellow believers. Going to church (as in the building) allows you to meet with others, and, "as iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17a NIV), so meeting with others allows you to grow in your faith in ways that private reflection just doesn't allow. I think it would be safe to say that salvation is by faith alone, but growth is a product of many things, including a Christian community. |

Actually you don't really "go to church" - you are the church. wherever a true xtian goes, the church is there in the traditional sense of course, going to church means attending some sort of meeting of believers We are told, "Heb 10:24 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting 'one another'; and so much the more, as you see the day drawing nigh." So, assmbling with other xtians is important though not a requirement for salvation. ;-) |
