Even though the Body of Christ is one, there are many expressions of it. Some denominations are more open to God's Holy Spirit than others. Have you ever been to a church that was so formal that you wanted to leave because the Holy Spirit was being quenched there. There is a difference between being formal and being legalistic. If you are formal and sincere as a Christian, let's say in a Lutheran church, the Holy Spirit still has room to work somewhat. However, when we become legalistic like the Pharisees of The Bible in Jesus' day, we shut out the Spirit and make our own religion. Each church even within a denomination is different depending on whether they are allowing God to work in their hearts.

As to why I joined the church I did, it is because I have finally found the place I belong. Can you imagine if all churches were like the Catholic church or a pentecostal church on the other extreme. Everyone belongs somewhere, but if we allow ourselves to be hurt in a particular church and never go back to any church, we miss the corporate fellowship. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25, not to forsake the gathering together of ourselves in church. We need that togetherness to help encourage and strengthen us for what we will face in the coming week.

Do Christians believe that only God has the right to interfere with your genes?

Since no one knew about genes when the Bible was written, there are no biblical guidelines for all Christians to follow. Because of this, it is up to each Christian denomination to state its position for the members of that denomination. It is also up to Christians and others to develop ethical guidelines to determine society's attitude to what, if anything, is permissible in gene therapy.

How do you convert from Islam to Christian?

A:You may know at least one church in your area. Usually each would represent a different denomination or 'faction' of Christianity, although the essential beliefs are the same. Choose one that suits you - either because you know and enjoy its rituals or you have Christian friends that belong to that church, or even just that the church is more convenient than others. Go to the church, perhaps just after a Sunday church service has finished, and talk to the priest or minister in charge. He will explain what is needed for you to become a Christian, provide you with material to read and then, if you wish to proceed, arrange for your baptism.
