Bible Question: Not going to church will not keep me from going to heaven. Where in the bible is this statement confirmed true and or false? |
Bible Answer: Dave: The term "going to church" is such a misnomer! It follows the same error as calling a building the church. The church is the body of Christ and is composed of all the redeemed in Christ. So in a real sense nobody "goes to church." We who are individual members of the body of Christ do assemble in community for the purposes of worship, instruction, the breaking of bread and prayer. Christ saves. We are saved by grace through faith in Him. Read the book of Acts. You won't find in it a single example of any regenerate believer who cloistered himself in a cave and absented himself from the fellowship of the saints. He who inclines to drum up excuses for not attending worship services on the grounds that this will not keep him out of heaven has a decidely myopic view of what the church is all about. If everyone thought as he thinks, local churches would become extinct. You figure the consequences of that! --Hank |
