Be a christian, but don't go to church. As long as you believe in Jesus, you are christian. Not everyone who goes to church is a Christian. I have frens who goes to church to have fun cos they have lots of activities.

Yes we are saved by faith not works.
Although going to church is important but It does not earn us salvation.

yes, my friends ask me go there mainly because there's young people there and they want to find boy/girl-friends.
Personally, i think churches are just eating your money. God will never want you to build a bloody big church and end up poor. God just want you to lead a satisfactory life, a good life. I guess that pastor you talked to just eats the church's money.
City Harvest... Build a damn big church in Suntec for what. Still show off what biggest church. Having a biggest church doesn't mean that you have the greatest number of true Christians in your chuch. Stoopid pastors. Bet they'll go hell.
Personally I think the whole story is bullshit.
In reality all pastors, priests, religious teachers, donation collectors, tin weilding students, will say give any amount you wish. Up to you.

Attending church is still important.
God in the bible asks us not to stop gathering.

dun u have a mind of your own? need a holy book to tell you this?
the church is already rich, it still need money? dunno who is the beneficiary, the church goers or the pastor?
frankly, i don't see how church-goers will benefit.
churches aren't exactly doing a lot for charity after all, they keep asking for more money and then they buy properties only.
and those properties generate more money for churches and still they ask for more money from church-goers so the churches may own whole of S'pore in time to come.

Heaven is empty if Jesus never die for our sins.

Baptism is very important!
I have seen some christians who lost their third /ying yang eyes after baptism.
then why they have yinyang eyes in the 1st place ?

Their past religions.
Some prayed to taoists dieties.
Some seek spiritual mediums.

Satans give them the ability.
But they repent to God and baptise so no more ability.

hi asro.. some christians or catholics have this gift of discernment .. not everybody is given this gift.. usually a devout or a prayerful person..
they can discern whether it's good or bad spirits with the help from the holy spirit.. sometimes in houses or a person.. Of course when discerning you have to be prudent and careful.
cheers
catholic
huh ???
