Going to church doesn't make one a Christian

Salvation means being placed in Christ, not placed in a "church" that is mere a religious entity or building. We are placed in Body of Believers that are being edified through the anointed preaching of the Word: Christ and Him Crucified! If going to church is not about teaching me how to live for God in constant victory over the flesh, world, and the devil, and how I will grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and nobody is preaching to me why I am going through tests and difficulties as a result of my faith, or how do I gain victory over a certain bondage, and I don't receive the equipping of the Word as to how I will know God's will over issues in my life, and how I should respond to temptation, discouragements... then my going to "church" is a waste of time. When you find yourself in this condition, maybe God is actually telling you to seek Him and be led by the Holy Spirit to a body of believers, and be edified, equipped, strengthened and perfected in our faith by the anointed preaching and teaching of the Word, til we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fulness of the Christ. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness...(Eph 4:13-14) Normal Christian life is living, moving, and having our being in Christ. It is ordering the daily walk in faith, and it is a daily fight the good fight to abide in Christ from start to finish: until the trump sounds!

Jesus and Him Crucified is only the faith that God is pleased, accepts, and rewards.
