having your own preference isnt bad but if u started calling a person a sinner because he didnt comply to your preference, then that where things go wrong.
and that what happened to most churches in the 60s
Religion = Relation to God.
how can we have a church without relation to God? Jesus Christ founded a church Matt. 16:18, to have a relation to His children.
do you know that when you say you have a personal relation to God, you are already practicing a religion.
