Is it wise to go to several churches?

I think it's great to go to several churches. It's also great to find one that you consider your home church. You can do this without turning your back on other denominations. The church needs more people like you who are not only willing, but excited to cross the denominational lines. Afterall, unity is so important!

While it is important to have fellowship with other Christans, it is a command even, remember that you don't have to be in church to worship. God should be part of your daily walk in life, not just Sunday. Also I'm kind of reminded of something else... even Paul the Apostle supported himself as a tentmaker...

If you are asking for historys sake, Ronin is right about the mostly Protestant, and Anglican thing. (In England.) If you are asking for now a days... don't worry so much about what church is right, and focus on getting your heart right. Your local pastor isn't going to be your judge, God is. Line up with His rules. Get a relationship with Him. Notice I said relationship, not religion?

Sometimes, but you have to make sure that its not just church you have in common. And sometimes- one can act like a spiritual person and be far from it, so as with people outside church- you have to really get to know the person. Church sometimes helps you meet good moral people- but then sometimes they are FAR from moral- so sometimes yes sometimes no. Depends on the person and the church I guess.

Catholicism is certainly a populous denomination, but your desire to find a church that suits God rather than one that suits yourself is the best starting point. \nBetween His resurrection and ascension, Jesus taught his apostles how churches should be organised. The events in the Acts of the Apostles and the New Testament letters describe the pattern of churches.\nMost denominations have websites that outline their basic doctrines, and by comparing these with the scriptures, you should be able to eliminate some and shortlist others.\nBy visiting some, you can check out scriptures like John 13 34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."\nMy personal recommendation would be the churches of God in the fellowship of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Their website shows their basic doctrines along with the scripture references to validate them, plus location and contact details.

As others have already suggested, you might be thinking of the Foursquare Church. \n\nhttp://www.foursquare.org/

You are probably right, going to church keeps you accountable, and accountability is a good thing.  Otherwise you are more apt to slip away from God and your walk with him.

You should go anyway. Plus you will met new friends and have a great time. When I went to church camp i was friends with almost everyone there and I had so much fun that I was sad to go home. Just because your friends from home aren't goin doesn't mean you wont have friends there.

I have no idea what you mean.\nIf you mean that there are many religions, yes.\nIf you mean there is more of one religion in one area and more of another in another area, yes.

If you are sincere member of the church you go to, you shouldn't take a vacation from it. If you just go to church because you don't have anything else to do, then you could take a vacation from it.

I don't feel that you have to.  But i think some people need some type of structure and assurance that they aren't alone in their journey.  I think it is definitely up to you as a person as to whether or not you need to belong to a church.  But going to church does not make you a christian.  That happens by asking Jesus Christ to be your saviour.  Just my opinion!

No.  That's a great idea.\n\nThe best way to visit other religions' ritual observances, however, is as a guest of an adherent of that faith.  This is better because one has a guide to what is appropriate and inappropriate for guests of other faiths (or, in your case, of no faith).  For example, visiting a Roman Catholic Church, it is inappropriate for non-Catholics to receive Communion.  Also, your friend or acquaintance with whom you have come can answer questions your child might have afterwards from an insider's perspective.\n\nMost healthy religious communities that let non-members attend at all (and it is important to check) are very considerate of their guests.  Try reaching out to the leaders of the faith communities and expressing your wish.  Most are very ready to accomodate such a request.\n\nYour reason for wanting to do this is very responsible.  In a world of so much hatred and violence because of religious differences, any action to promote understanding and peaceful coexistence between people with different perspectives on spirituality is a good action, and should be supported.

I think that you should tune in to God and go where he would lead you!\n\nMaybe he would want to use you in a church with out some of your "qualifications"\n\nIt all depends on your motive.
