Is Church a good thing? Yes.
Do you have to go to get to heaven? No.
noone said you did ...... but it shows your priorities .....
So let's say Jeff(for the sake of argument
) doesnt go to church regulary. But sits down and prays with his family. Thats "church" right?
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
First of all, Jeff needed to repent of his good works to get to Heaven and put His faith in the finished work of The Lord Jesus Christ ...in other words ...become born again ....born of the Spirit ....... then he has God dwelling in him .... I have never asked him if he has done that, so I make no assumptions to that end .....
if THAT has been done, it is still not "church" .... church is made up of Elders and Deacons and other folks that believe ....... praying with the family is just as important ... and precious ... it's just NOT church
