Going to church because of tradition or because of religious beliefs?

Religious belefs and not the otehr thing. I mean why would you go if someone was making you go. To me that is just stupid, so whatever it is for you pick teh good one.

Herro keshia2007r I know there is a God. He has demonstrated His power to me numerous times. I go to church for fellowship and to learn more about God. I can ask for prayer. I learn from guest speakers and our pastor. I enjoy our worship. Prosperous mylotting

First of all I want to say what i normally say; I was born into a baptist religion, but now i am just a Christain. I feel like it's important to know the difference for me and that is I believe as Christ and not as a religion would have me believe. I'm not saying that being a baptist is wrong or catholic or methodist or protestant or what ever other religion you have in there. i believe that what I believe because I was raised in a baptist church but what i'm saying in that is just because I feel a baptist upringing was good for me. I also saw some flaws in it's teachings. i go to church now that isn't one denomination. They are a church and they don't really care about your personal beliefs. They want you there to worship God with them. I stopped going to church for a long time because I didn't feel like I belonged where i was going. I would feel like God was telling me to go there but then hate him for telling me to go when the service was done. Things have changed over the years at this church and god never told me to stop going. He just told me that until things were taken care of that it wasn't my place to be there when things went down. anyways, going to church shouldn't be out of tradition but because God told you to go to church and for you to enjoy it.

Hello keshia2007r I was born into a Christian family and was brought up as a Christian. As part of that we went to church every Sunday as a family. I used to enjoy this but as I got older I started to feel that I was going to church because that was the family tradition. Then I went to University and started attending a Baptist church. Going there showed me that I did enjoy church and it helped me to strengthen my religious beliefs. One of the main things that drew me in was the modern worship songs and the fact that the church had a worship band. After finishing Uni I returned home and fell back into the tradition of going to church on a Sunday with my family. Then something happened that totally changed that tradition. My Dad is a reader and he fell out badly with the Vicar and decided to leave that Church and move on. Due to this, the entire family moved and whilst Mum continues to go to a Church of England church with my Dad I started to go to a Baptist church. Moving churches allowed me to make new friends and really helped me to get excited about being a Christian.
