When I first came back to God I met with different christians and ended up going to a few different church's. As I went to each church I could see good things about them, but I would see things I didn't like or agree with aswell.
One night I was looking up things about the church I was brought up in, i had become so upset and felt so lost because it seemed that no church was the right church. As I went home I became more and more upset it was tearing me up, so as i got into my flat i shut the door and there in the hallway I prayed to God and asked him how am I to know which church is the right church?
As I prayed I had a vision, I was stood in a wilderness and on the horizion in every direction where mountains and then I saw pathways leading away from me in every direction, then i was directed to look straight up and as I looked straight up above me I came out of the vision and was back in the flat, straight away i knew what the vision meant.
I was feeling lost with no home which is why i saw my self in the wilderness, then the mountains where all the different church's and I could have taken any of the paths and it would have lead me straight to one of the mountains, but then I was shown that I needed to look to God and not take any of the other paths.
This happend a few years ago and I stopped worrying about belonging to a man made church, and not long after I googled 'Which church is the right church?' to see what other people thought, which is how i found this site. It took a few years until I was able to join though.
God bless

The Body of Christ.
It is joined by following Jesus.
Nothing has changed since the days of Pentecost
Repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.The bible is your doctrine.
Your prayer life is in the spirit.
Tribulations and blessings will follow you.

The revelation from God our Father to humanity through the Apostle Peter was that Jesus “is the Christ, the Son of the Living God”. Jesus said: “upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”.
Quote 1Jo 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. If an individual does not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within, “he is not part of the body of Christ, the true church.”
Love in Christ,

Hi Nick:Nice to hear from you. I hope that you and your family are doing well.
Of course, I agree, Romans 8 describes the true church.

Hi Nick:“Life in Christ” is “good”. I missed you while you were away.
What really matters is John 3:16-18.

But they do not understand what believe means.
They think it means to accept mentally that Jesus is the saviour.

Hi Nick:Let's you and I pray that everyone on this forum will receive revelation knowledge of what it means to believe. Of course, it does not mean just a mental assent. “The devil believes and he trembles”.
Love in Christ,

NickMany do not even believe the scriptures the way it is written,so they adjusted to their understanding ,
Is it because of their lack of trust in GOD AND HIS SPIRIT ? That they do not receive the spirit of understanding ??

Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and everything else will be added to you.
Most intellectualise what is spiritual and do not enter.You must HEAR the gospel and obey it if you want more of anything good.

Nickscriptures disagree with you
God send us in many way his gifts,his love,his hope,but if we do not want it ,this is not what he planted WE did ,
