FAQ # 29

QUESTION  29 :  I’m saved; repented, baptized, filled with the spirit, speak in tongues and all, can I use other religions or try them out?

No! God made this clear to the Israelites and us Christians in his commandment to Moses, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God” (Ex20:3-5).

In other words, at the outset of our Judeo-Christian faith, God laid it down plainly that we are not to mingle, associate or try other religions or gods; “Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee” (Ex 23:32-33).

Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, also said,

“I am the vine, ye are the branches…without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).

If one has forcible strayed away from Christ to practice another religion (god), he or she has chosen to cut himself off from the vine (spiritual adultery).

What happens when a branch is plucked out from a tree or vine? It withers and dies, slowly.

However, this is highly unlikely if one was truly born again; that is, straying.

Why?

“Wherefore, he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Heb 7:25).

My suggestion is that you really verify if you are born again, because those that drink of this salvation “shall never thirst” again (John 4:14); in essence, look to another!
