what should I look for in a church?

Post by SUGAAAAA »

Hi all... I'm just beggining my journey with Christ right now, I've repented, and believe in him, but I still have a few doubts in my mind, doubts Im trying to get rid of... as a result, my faith is a little weak, so Im trying to find a right church to learn about the word of God, to strengthen my faith... And I know God promised that if you seek him, you shall find him.


So, what kind of church should I attend in order for me to do this? is there anything in particular I should look for, or watch out for? or is any church that teaches about Jesus Christ ok? stuff like this is what Im wondering. . . help?

Hello SuGAAAA
That is Great!!! We all have Doubts I find if you Talk to God about those Doubts then He answers you. For a Church you want to find one that as fairly Lively Good Worship but a Good Preacher as well. I have stuck with Pentecostal... Of course depending on your location etc and where you are in life will depend upon the Church you will like.

Try Churches out! God will prompt you to which ones are the best and which ones are not. Hope that Helps :)

Thank you... there are a few churches near my house.... right now I'm going to a Christian church with my cousin that has no real location, but they rent places at to hold church.

what I'm wondering is what are the basics they should be teaching, the requirements for salvation, stuff like that...

There is only one requirement for Salvation and that is Believe in Jesus Christ that He died on the Cross for your Sins. That is the first thing!!!

Next is to join with a body of believers to learn/and to be lifted up by the Brethren. Get Water Baptised.

This is a Great Site and maybe there are some Churches running it for you. This is where you want to get everything you need to know about Christianity...
