I'm going to church for the first time?

I was just wondering, what happens at church, exactly?

My boyfriend is religious, and I told him I would try it out.

The church is non-denominational.

    Usually the service starts off with worship music. Then comes the sermon, followed by a closing song. Not all churches practice the same. This is just generalizing from what I have experienced in non-denominational churches.

    In these times, what happens is that you are worshiping Satan and not realizing it. it has recently been revealed from the Bible that we are in the period of the Great Tribulation...Satan (the antichrist...the Beast...transforming into an angel of light) has been installed to rule all of the churches...we are commanded to leave the churches. God is directly applying His Word, the Bible, to peoples hearts that he chooses. It is written:

    Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (Satan), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (the churches), (whoso readeth, let him understand,)

    Matthew 24:16 then let them which be in Judea (the churches) flee into the mountains (the Bible):

    Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (the churches), my people(the true believers), that ye be not partakers of her (the churches)sins, and that ye receive not of her (the churches) plagues.

    God is separating the wheat form the tares. Salvation is occurring outside of the churches.

    Time is short, Judgment Day is May 21st, 2011, Pray now for mercy and salvation.

    You won't find that in any Christian church, really. Maybe with a few exceptions, but that's more of a Natsari/Messianic thing. And heaven forbid someone goes to a congregation that supports the Torah, since it's been "nullified".... Oh, except the mitvah about tithes, that still has to be observed lol.

    I do wish most Christian churches would go back to Shabbos, forget Yuletide, and refer to YHVH and Yeshua properly.

    Shalom.

    Wow, you are in for a treat! They play music and everyone sings (usually in a monotone, droning kind of way). They pass plates around and ask for money. They tell you that God loves you. They give you pointers on how to earn a place in heaven. Everyone smiles and looks nice. Depending on the church, you might even get some snacks. I think everyone should visit a church once.

    Non denominational is the best type of church for new goiers. It starts out with praise and light worship music and eventually the preacher will come out and teach stories about God

  • Get a better boyfriend. You can do better than the religious type. If you are still willing to go to Church for your boyfriend, he's a asshole.

    It will be singing songs about made up events and beings, then talking about made up beings and concepts that don't really make sense, then praying to said made up being that makes no sense, and if you're really lucky, they'll tell you what's wrong with you according to them, and not to worry because they can save you, you just have to give them your obedience and mental capacity.

    Hope it is a good non-denominational "denomination". lol I don't understand yet why you americans use the term "non-denominational" for that type of church when in reality "assemblies of God", "methodist", "presbyterian", "baptist", etc, technically are all "denominations".
