I have been invited to attend Church?

The title of the religion is not important, but the thought scares me, and I don't understand why it does.

Update:

I am not being forced to go to Church.

    If that church is Bible-believing and Christ-centered, then it is OK.

    God bless.

    Not everyone get this scare - this scare is brought to you by the devl. When you get an oppurtunity to go to church or to learn about Christ and His Word, you may eventually get out of the claws of the devil. And tht devl knows this very well. SO what does he do to keep you scared? He will show his fantasies - maybe in making you rich, divert minds by interesting things. Yes, fear of losing freedom to sin. Devil knows this. Then he will try to introduce his things in a more interesting way, than it was before and will put a scare in you "if you follow God and accept Jesus Christ, u cannot enjoy these". But the end, it will be destruction. You will be no where, totally lost.

    ON the other hand, Jesus Christ is the Lord who took your sin and suffered more than human mind can comprehend and took your place of death and resurrected after 3 days to *give you that resurrected LIFE* and He still Lives. He IS GOD. HIS promises never fail. In the end, you will have a place in that heavenly abode. What a blessing.

    Which will you go for - upto you... i beckon you to Christ. God bless..

    Shortly before I got saved (born again) I became quite alarmed when I noticed a friend of mine wearing a cross. I think the devil is trying to dissuade you from any spiritual interest that might lead to your salvation.

    Go, learn. Just don't let anyone force you do to anything you don't want you and don't let anyone manipulate you.

    Go for it. Hope it's a Christian church. This is what the Christians believe: that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
