Is regular church attendance important? If not, why not? How do you answer sceptics who are often heard to say: "Well, you don't have to go to church to get to heaven"? | ||||||

I do think church attendance is important because as Christians were are all members of the Body of Christ-as Christians we are a part of the new people of God-we should not live out our spiritual lives in isolation-we need to belong to somekind of Christian fellowship-at the same time I do not think one will not go to heaven if he does not attend church-but he or she should seek out fellowship with other Christians-we need each other spiritually. We do need to sit under the preaching of the Bible-the sacraments-the gifts of other Christians-also the visible church is to be a light to the lost world-we need to support the visible church as it takes the gospel to sinners-missions-local community outreach-etc. . . We suffer spiritually if we neglect fellowshipping with other Christians. | ||||||

Dear JonnyRay49423: Thanks for a very thorough answer, one that covers most and probably all the main reasons we Christians ought to attend church regularly. Someone is always making the comment, "Why go to church? You don't have to go to church to get to heaven." Maybe not, but going to church is something a person does because he is already a Christian, not something he does in order to become one. Having read your excellent, good-sense answer, I sincerely wish that you could be with me when I hear this challenge thrown out by someone seeking to justify his own non-attendance at church. --JVH0212 | ||||||
