Man, talk about opening up a can o worms. Very good reading though!
My opinion on some of the points brought out:
The church & the hypocrite argument, yes there are hypocrites in every congregation, as Christians we are to try & be "Christ like", but we are human, thus we always fall short.
As far as missing a service, After my salvation I had a strong desire (the Holy Spirit) to be around fellow beleivers. Yes, if you are comfortable not being there for every service, then it's OK. The Bible does say to not forsake the assembly. To me that means got to church, worship & fellowship with other Christians, for their support & give support to them.
To the question about 3/4 of the people never hearing about God going to Hell....I beleive they will be treated as a child not at the age of accountability...That being said,it is OUR job as Christians..Go & tell of the good news! If you truly have received the gift of Grace, then you will want to share it!
minnisotadeer- your post makes my heart hurt. If your Pastor/Minister told you that you could go to heaven "Even if you don't beleive in God". It hurts for you and him and the congregation that he leads. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven, accept this FREE gift of salvation & you WILL go there some day....Don't & you will lift your eyes in HELL!
That's my 2 cents! Thanks & God Bless
