HOW WAYS TO GOD AND HEAVEN?

 BEING RELIGIOUS DOESN'T MEAN, THAT ONE IS BORN AGAIN:

Attention this is very important, I'm a National, International Global representative of our Lord Jesus Christ and this is His Ministry, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for all of you who do support me, I'm your Senior God-Ordained Chosen Apostle, Christ Jesus, Ambassador & Messenger and He sent me, Elder James Winfree Sr, to serve all of His spiritual Kingdom sons and daughters in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. )

Luke 11:49

Before we explore the difference between religion and being born again, we must first define the two terms. Religion can be defined as “belief in God or gods to be worshiped, usually expressed in conduct and ritual” or “any specific system of belief, worship, etc., often involving a code of ethics.” Religious can be defined as “the quality or fact of being spiritual, non-physical” or “predominantly spiritual character as shown in thought, life, etc.; spiritual tendency or tone.” To put it briefly, religion is a set of beliefs and rituals that claim to get a person into the right relationship with God, and born-again believers focus on spiritual things and the spiritual world instead of physical/earthly things.

The most common misconception about religion is that Christianity is just another religion like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. Sadly, many who claim to be adherents of Christianity do practice Christianity as if it were a religion. To many, Christianity is nothing more than a set of rules and rituals that a person has to observe to go to heaven after death. That is not true Christianity. True Christianity is not a religion; rather, it is having a right relationship with God our loving awesome heavenly Father by receiving Jesus Christ as our Blessed Holy Savior-Messiah, by grace through faith. Yes, Christianity does have “rituals” to observe (e.g., Baptism in HIS Name, JESUS,! and communion). Yes, Christianity does have “rules” to follow (e.g., do not murder, love one another, etc.). However, these rituals and rules are not the essence of Christianity. The rituals and rules of Christianity are the result of Salvation. When we receive Salvation through Jesus Christ, we are baptized as a proclamation of that faith. We observe communion in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice. We follow a list of do’s and don’ts out of love for God and gratitude for what He has done as Jesus Christ Royal Way Believers.

The most common misconception about spirituality is that there are many forms of spirituality, and all are equally valid. Meditating in unusual physical positions, communing with nature, seeking conversation with the spirit world, etc., may seem to be “spiritual,” but they are false spirituality. True spirituality is possessing the Holy Spirit of God as a result of receiving Salvation through Jesus Christ. True spirituality is the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in a Believers life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Being Born Again is all about becoming more like Christ Jesus, who is Spirit (John 4:24), and having our character conformed to His image (Romans 12:1-2).

What religion and spirituality have in common is that they both can be false methods of having a relationship with God. Religion tends to substitute the heartless observance of rituals for a genuine relationship with Christ. Ungodly spirituality tends to substitute connection with the spirit world for a genuine relationship with God. Both can be, and often are, false paths to God. At the same time, religion can be not valuable in the sense that it points to the fact that there are many ways to God and that we are somehow accountable to Him. The only true value of religion is its ability to point out that we have fallen short and need a Savior. Spirituality can be not valuable in that it points out that the physical world is not all there is. Human beings are not only material but also possess a soul-spirit. There is a spiritual world around us of which we should be aware. The true value of spirituality is that it points to the fact that there is something and someone beyond this physical world to which we need to connect. So many Church leaders and religious followers became upset and angry with Oprah Winfrey for saying there are many ways to God and heaven, but the trust of the matter at hand, and sadly to write you all believe just what she said, her idea came from the many Christian Churches, Names, and Faiths in our world, What faith or religion to you call yourself and what's the name of your religious idol church buildings that you call your home? Think about it will you, please?

Yes, We will, and Yes We will obey God's Word and Voice.

1 Corinthians 12:28
