If you believe in him, then there is not problem. You never have to go to church or even pray, as long as he knows you believe in him and love him, then your safe. Don't worry. I don't go to church either. So if i'm full of BS then we will be chillin together. lol

You are not alone, but in the minority.  The Bible doesn't say that you have to go to church, but having fellowship with other believers.  We do need to fellowship.  A friend once told me that the definition of fellowship is two fellows in a ship going the same direction.  It is important for you to spend time with like minded individuals.  \n\nAs for man-made traditions and doctrines, I definitely agree with you.  I have found many non-biblical teachings throughout my years and they tend to leave a bitter taste in ones mouth.  \n\nRead your Bible and pray daily.  Make sure to take the time to teach the Word of God to your children and you should do just fine.

If you were going to try and be a good Christian you wouldn't ask people for their excuses so that you can judge them. Being a good Christian does not mean that you have to go to Sunday School or even Church for that fact. God can see if you are faithful and believe in Him and He knows if you live your life accordingly. My excuse would have to be that I don't go to Church, I have never been able to find a Church that truly preaches just what the Bible says, and because of that, I choose not to go. And I am still a good Christian.

I don't feel that you have to.  But i think some people need some type of structure and assurance that they aren't alone in their journey.  I think it is definitely up to you as a person as to whether or not you need to belong to a church.  But going to church does not make you a christian.  That happens by asking Jesus Christ to be your saviour.  Just my opinion!

Are you holding anything back?  God wants you to get real with him.  He knows all about you already, tell him your fears and He WILL comfort and help you.  I have been in your situation.  I have had to learn like others have said, there is not always that magic feeling that we want to feel and that is where faith comes in.  You have to remember, the devil knows all about you also, and he will do everything in his power to make you doubt yourself and most of all doubt God.  Clear your mind and ask God what is going on, He will reveal His path for you.  When I was saved I did feel different, I knew it was real, but the peace and presence of God that He has shared with me came much later after I grew in faith and wanted a real relationship with God not just seeking a feeling.  Keep close to God, find spiritual friends and leaders, and spend time with them each day.  God loves you, He is leading you through this and I have learned those times when I have felt down and out of the loop with God, -if I kept the faith- He always brought me out stronger than before.  Seek Him with all you heart, trust me He WILL answer.

I was baptized as a Christian, and I believed in God during my younger childhood years. But my family has never gone to church since I can remember, and religion now is not at all a part of my life. I don't believe in any religion anymore. I rarely even think or wonder about God, or whether or not there even is one. I might consider myself agnostic, but even that could be going too far because I really have no feelings about religion at all.

I am saved, I believe in Jesus Christ as God's only Son who died for my sins and I have asked forgiveness for my sins.\n\nI have also followed God's leadings and they have not been easy, but I still obeyed.

Why would you want to force yourself to be a nonbeliever?Is there something that you feel Guilty about in your Life that you feel you need to find a way of not being accoiuntable to God for?The Thing is you cannot Hide From God!!!wether you believe in God or not you will still be answerable to him!

Yes. I have made my peace with God. I am 'saved'. I'm not a religious fanatic. I know I will be judged for my past sins. But i have led a good. I would hope to live in heaven, but i know i have had some pretty big sins.

Sounds like you think that you can purposely go out and sin (knowingly, willingly), repent and all is okay....your are leaving out believing in God...when you believe in God, your sins will be fewer and fewer with each passing day compared to what you were capable of before finding Christ!\nThere is a big difference....don't think for a minute that you can sin on purpose, repent and all is okay....you gotta be trying to live a Christian life along with the repenting!

I do not say that you are going to hell. I believe that the Bible is true. The Bible is very clear about this subject. Jesus is the way and the life and the truth, no one will go to the Father's house except through Him.\n\nIf you do not believe in hell and heaven, do not worry what people say. You are a very good person. If you want to find God, you will find Him. I am not worried about that. If I make it to heaven, I will give all the credit to Jesus...because I would not make it without Him.\n\nChristianity is a relationship with God. He has mercy on us if we ask it.

As far as not believing some doctrine of God?  Yes, you can still be Christian.

I don't believe in God! Why would I?\n\nBesides the true intention of the church was a place to convert sinners and non-believers to christianity. It was never intended as a place to gather and worship just for the christians. If you believe in a god then you are not required to attend services. The idea of required visits on sunday began with the issue of ties. You know, chances are if your not there you won't give your 10% So of couse the church wants you there.
