Amen, aiopj ...
Having a relationship with Jesus is not a religion...
Religions, like the Catholics for instance, have rituals that make no sense...like baptism for babies...how can an infant make a decision like this?...a baby doesn't even know right from wrong so why get them baptized when they are at such a tender age?...the parents make that choice for their baby, therefore, it is only a ritual!...I was baptized when I was a baby, it was my parents' choice, not mine...each individual has to make their own choice once they understand!...
I had my First Communion when I was in grade three...did I fully understand what it meant?...no I didn't...I was told to accept Jesus in my heart and repent for my sins...did I fully understand what it meant?...no I didn't...therefore, it was only a ritual that meant nothing to me...was I saved back then?...I don't think so...

Up to a point, Joy2Tworld...for instance, I wouldn't spend time in a club and drink anymore, I used to go years ago, but not anymore...that is not a proper place to meet other Christians...

Amen to that. While the world religions have rules to live there life, with a hope to going to heaven, we christians don't have rules, we can still have a social life. We can positivly say that we will be going to heaven. All because we have Jesus in our lives.

What if I had been born in China after 1948? That would have been MY answer too: no religion. no religion. we have no religion. They have no religion because of where they are born.
I got no religion, either. I got relationship.
Muslims have religion. Buddhists have religion. That's because they believe that performance gets them to Heaven.
Jesus said, essentially, that performance does NOT get you to Heaven.
