Churches can send a person to hell just as quick as drunkenness, fornication and adultery, homosexuality and lesbianism, stealing, lying, gambling, not going to church, or anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine (1 Timothy 1:10). Now before you faint or get a strange feeling because we have said churches can be dangerous to your soul, allow me to explain how churches can send you to hell.

You can go to hell by being a member of a church that Jesus didn't build. In Matthew 16:18, "Jesus said he would build His church." He didn't say He would build many churches, but said, "church" meaning one church. Jesus further shows that at the judgment bar, those who were members of churches that He didn't authorize would be refused entrance into heaven, because they failed to build upon His word (Matt. 7:13-29). Ephesians 5:23 teaches that Jesus will save only His church. John 10:9 teaches that a person must enter Jesus' fold (or church) in order to be saved. Matthew 15:13-14 teaches that all who follow doctrine not authorized by Jesus will be hell bound. 1 Corinthians 3:11 teaches that no other foundation can be established other than what Jesus has. So when men go outside the word of God and establish different churches that don't teach the same thing; they fail to promote Jesus' wishes for unity, and neither do they render obedience toward God's word (1 Cor. 1:10, John 17:17-23, 2 John 8-11, Galatians 1:8-9, Luke 6:46-49). Please read Romans 16:16.
