What Church do You Attend?

[Guest glorytothelord]

The type of group in which we discuss God's word, pray, worship him in song and

fellowship, of course. What do you do in church ?

Well, that's what I would call a church.

True. "When two or three are gathered together in my name there will I be in the

midst of them".

Anyone else wanna chime in here? Very interesting topic here, methinks.

Catholics do not allow non-Catholics to participate in the Eucharist. I was raised RC.

because Catholics believe the Jesus is TRULY present (body, blood, soul & divinity) IN the elements of the bread and wine, and when they hold the bread/wine up and say "THE BODY OF CHRIST" and "THE BLOOD OF CHRIST", and the recipient says "AMEN", meaning YES IT IS TRUE...the Catholic is saying they BELIEVE that Christ TRULY IS PRESENT...AND therefore, if a non-Catholic goes up for communion and of course the priest holds up the bread and says "THE BODY OF CHRIST", and if the person receiving DOES NOT believe that Jesus TRULY IS PRESENT under the elements of the Bread, and they SAY AMEN, then they are 'profaning' the body and blood of our Lord', because they receive, and don't believe, but receive anyway.

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 1 Cor 11:27-29

TO UNDERSTAND MORE, read here...it's NOT for exclusion.

I like that verse, it sort of makes worthey boards a church in a way. Right now it is the only one I have.

I attend a baptist church. Although the more I grow in Christ, the closer I get to Christ, the less I care about donminations. It's not about your 'church doctrine', it's all about Jesus!!! Oh how I love Jesus! :il:

I attend Asbury Untied Methodist...not that it matters 

I started out as Baptist, but couldn't take the hell, fire, and brimestone sermons LOL.

My aunt kept bringing me to VBS at a little Methodist church and I LOVED it compared to the big ol baptist church where I felt misplaced. They are so warm and loving...I felt lead to leave and go to another Methodist church, after some time, I knew the Lord was calling me back to ASbury.....

I go to church to not only fellowship with other believers, but to worship God, and lift Him up. (and yeah you can do that at home, but God said where two or more are gathered I am among them...ect.)

I aprticipate in the ministies @ church....puppets, choir, expressive worship, all for HIS glory. I love helping others and at Asbury, I can.

I'm sure you won't hear any more hell fire and brimstone messages at UMC.

At the time, I am sad to say I truly do not have a church which I attend every Sunday morning. It is rather difficult for me to find a church for so many in my home town are having problems holding down a preacher. The one which I was currently attending seems to be becoming divided on account of our pastor's leaving for there is many an unsightly rumor as to behind the reason he left. Seeing as I am still rather young, this is truly something that leaves me pondering as to what I should do about such a matter. For God is to come first in my life, and if so...a weekly fellowship and worship with him is something that I feel is needed within my heart. For the current time I have been going out and doing my own personal bible study with my fiance by reading God's word and discussing our thoughts about the scripture. For we both are rather lost when it comes to direction as far as church goes.

With Love In Christ,
