Seems to be the same old "if it's in the Bible it is true" folks. Ask them if the millions of muslims, hindus, etc. have a snowballs chance in hell of going to Heaven. |

I would think you'd be able to tell me a little about what they believe since you endorse them so strongly. Their website was really less than useless. |

Website seems to be pretty detailed. Looks like you can listen to old sermons online and read the blog. I've never been but would expect their services, based on the website, to be akin to a Kensington experience in Troy. Anyone confirm? We are a community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to discovering and pursuing God's dreams for our lives. We believe that "in the beginning" God created all things and designed each of our lives with specific purpose and destiny. We believe that the ancient Scriptures teach us who God is, who we are, and what our lives can become when we follow Jesus. http://www.genesisthechurch.or g/about.html |

"What do the muslims, hindu's, etc believe about Christians going to Heaven??" All religions, I guess, create a path to heaven for their respective believers with belief and trust that "If I live my life right, do good deeds and pray, I'll make it to heaven when I die." Each religious practice has a road to what people refer to as heaven. You may travel a different road to get there, but we all end up there if we have some kind of faith. It doesn't matter if you pray to Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Jesus, Freddie or Elmo. As long as one has some kind of faith they will/should establish peace and harmony in their lives. |

I could list numerous denominations within Christianity alone that would disagree with this statement. "If I live my life right, do good deeds and pray, I'll make it to heaven when I die." But this isn't a theological debate, merely an announcement of a church opening. |

Correct Mr BI Runner My point is that each faith has their own beliefs and to some extent shut out the others. |

Id guess youd call these types of churches "non-demonational". Yes, much like Kensington, except more tidy when they rent spaces to worship in. heh. |
