I'm a Christian But I Don't Need Church!

You'r welcome.

what do you mean by church? is it the building or an organization?

You're welcome also.

about what ??

I have to agree with her a bit. But sometimes it is because one has not found a church to belong. Is difficult to find a church sometimes that helps you.

HOW TO CHOOSE A CHURCH TO ATTEND

Don't choose a church by its social prestige, architecture, or type of music. Instead:

1* Look for sincere devotion to Christ and a clear sense of what is important in Christianity.
2* Look for a church that will give you the instruction and fellowship that you need in your own spiritual growth.
3* Look for a church in which you can worship God sincerely and effectively.
4* Look for a church in which you can serve as well as be served.
5* Avoid churches whose Christianity has been watered down to accommodate non-Christian lifestyles.
6* Avoid churches whose faith has degenerated into secular political activism (either right- or left-wing).
7* Avoid churches that don't do anything to help people in need or to make the world a better place. (In a spiritually mature church, this kind of activity is often behind the scenes, out of the public eye. You may have to inquire about it.)
8* Avoid churches that manipulate you by making you doubt your salvation. God is not a bureaucrat who sets up hoops for you to jump through! Remember, it's him saving you, not the other way around.

Hope it helps

Sometimes, not going to church can give you a clearer vision of your faith. You can make your own mind up about what is wrong and right without being influenced by a preacher who's interpretation of God's word maybe a little distant from reality!

much ado about nothing.

y'all should forgive me if i sound rude, but threads like this are useless. if you (IAH) had decided in your heart not to go to church and plug your ears with cotton wool so as not to listen to what others have to say, then what's the use and point in creating this thread? the only thing i can do for you is pray that God makes you see the light. se finni.

let me give you some advice: read your Bible for more clarification and then seek counselling from what you're running away from: the church. or seek counsel from matured Christians.


end of story. 'nuff  said

IAH,

Seun's take on this question of yours remains the best, 

If u really follow the bible like u said you do then you should know that pastors ,

apostles etc are appointed for the perfection of the saint,  Eph 4:11

This aint going to happen in your house/room but in a local assembly right?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing again and again.
Good church empowers you on daily basis.No wonder David said he was so happy
when he was asked to go to the house of God.
