I agree with Violet and Housesitter.
For "Christ ... loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish". (Eph.5:25-27) I think the church which allows Jesus Christ to sanctify and cleanse it is a "Right Church". |

The right church is the one with a heart for God, whose members work together to testify of God's love, whose members read the Word and seek to live it to the community, and whose pastor teaches from the WORD, every Sunday, as that is where we find our Father...
I love when you walk in a church that is just so full of the Spirit that you can feel Him there... That's amazing! Of course, I also enjoy a church that has some music that is full of worship, as that is often where I find my strength when I am down, and also my favorite way to praise my God. But simply, a RIGHT CHURCH is any church that teaches and preaches the WORD, and reaches out to its members and those beyond the building's walls... Styles of service is purely a matter of preferences and what you're most comfortable with, but the heart of CHURCH is GOD, and that requires a foundation on the WORD. |

Did not Jesus Christ demand of Peter the Apostle to allow certain evangelical individuals to do the favors of God in Jesus name at their time, whom Peter looked so strangely at the fellows who went their own way favoring The Christ ? Rather a "Right Church" is one who is welcoming and desirous for the brethren as much as the self, that at best it makes sense to be at peace and that to love the spiritual brethren is comforting within the Church ..
