(for:Msknowitall)it is v imp to know whether ur religion is the true one or not.we are here(in this world) for the worship of God and to follow his teachings,man has been created solely for this purpose.so we need to know that the religion which we are following is the true one from God or not.if we stick to our religion just bcoz its the religion of our fore fathers,then how will we know that v r following the right path.we should study our religion and investigate+study other religions so that we know about the truth of our as well as other religions,and choose the right path of God.how can any one decide that his religion is the right one without knowing about other religions.and after that if u consider that ur religion is true and it must be followed,then prove it with facts and proofs u know.so that others will also know about it.(think abt it ms know it all)

We will not enter Heaven and live with Our Father based on a "Religion". We were created to love God and have a relationship with Him. We have been given the gift of being an individual with the ability to make our own decisions. His Word tells us to "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling" not to be a part of a group and accept their beliefs. His
Word also says, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Serving God is an individual responsibility and right. Church is where you go to worship and praise, and be filled with Power and Truth to go out and live a victorious life and be a witness for Him. However, the Church, is necessary and you should be aware of their beliefs and doctrines, and know that they are preaching and teaching the Truth. The only way to know, is to study, pray, for yourself. The Word says also, that you need not that man should teach you, but that the Sprit shall teach you all things. You should have teachins from an honorable, faithful Pastor and Teacher, but you need to study and pray for yourself so you will know if they are not teaching a false doctrine.
