How do i deal with my friends?

I have some friends who all ways criticize me because of the type of church i attend. They say that i am crazy for attending a church that shouts and speaks in tongues. they also criticize me because i am very involved in church by that i mean i go to all of the revivals, convocations, meetings, etc. I go every sunday and they think that i believe that i am higher than they are but i dnt believe that all i just love God and fellow shipping with fellow christians. How do i deal with these friends?How do i deal with my friends?
Ask them if the God they believe in grants the freedom of each person to worship according to the dictates of his conscience.How do i deal with my friends?
Go to a Sabbath keeping church. The messiah taught in the synagogues on the Sabbath not Sunday and he did not ignore the Sabbath commandment either.
You need to decide if your real friends are more important than your imaginary ones.
Hey, if you are having so much trouble with them, get some new friends. Freinds from church who understand where you are coming from.
A lot of people always make fun of Christians. Don't listen to them, just keep going your path. You are heading the right way. If they make fun of you, just let them know that you are getting saved!!
You will always have people who treat you that way as long as you remain faithful. You cannot avoid people who treat you that way. It comes with being Christian.





The best thing you can do is show them love. Show them that you're having fun. Show them that you're growing as a person because of your faith. Show them that your choice to believe is no reflection on them. Don't be snobby or defensive, just smile and let them know that you're having a great time at Church and you feel great. If they don't respect that, then they're not being good friend. But you're not being a good friend to them if you get arrogant and defensive about your church.
That is unfortunate that your friends feel that way. I go to a church that sounds quite similar and have had some weird criticisms as well. All you can do is make sure that you remain humble and just continue to make sure that you try to maintain those friendships as much as possible and keep doing what you feel is right.

You should tell them to respect your choices, because that's what good friends do. If they keep criticizing you, obviously they are bad influences for you. Find new good friends, there are many people out there who would like to have a friend like you, you seem very sweet.
I think that your friends are onto something. You might want to give them a better listen.
the Bible says ';..You will be hated for My name...';


well, maybe yours is not to that extent, but i think you can't fully please God and your friends at the same time. just tell them you really enjoy it and its not your earnings of being involved.. you need it because it fullfills you
Maybe they are sort of jealous of how full of joy you seem to be all the time and they are really sad most of the time and don't understand why. Jesus said that folks hated Him, and that they would hate us, too, so it doesn't really bother me. If you must, just drift apart from these fair weather friends and make friends with some of those in your age group in your church. Good luck and God bless, you are on the right track.
I'm betting they get the opinion that you are better than them because you pass that opinion off via your acts or statements. Do you criticize them for their beliefs or how they practice or don't practice their religion? Religion is a personal choice; they should respect your right to believe as you choose but at the same time if you are not respecting their right to believe as they choose, or espousing your religious beliefs in a way that projects your perceived superiority over them or their religion then you reap what you sow. Why not just ask next time someone criticize you, and find out why they are doing that? If in fact you are doing nothing to foster this criticism then simply tell them they aren't good friends if they don't respect your right to believe as you choose and you don't appreciate their statements.
