There is only one God in this world (1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians
 4:6). God is in the form of trinity which includes the Father God, Lord
 Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. There are many people who profess 
themselves as Christians but they also believe in other gods. If you 
profess yourself as a Christian and worship other gods as well, you will
 not inherit the eternal life. In Exodus 20:4 - 6, God forbids the 
people from making, worshiping and bowing down to idols that resemble 
anything in heaven or on earth. The idols are man-made. They cannot 
speak, see, hear, feel and walk (Psalms 115:4 - 8).
After 
accepting Jesus, you must get rid of the idols you used to worship in 
your house such as statues, charms, and paintings of pagan gods. 
Christians cannot visit pagan temples. It is a sin to bow down to the 
idol even if you don't believe in it. If you have visited temples and 
took photos of them, you should get rid of them. Any object that you 
used in worshiping pagan gods must be removed. If you want to inherit 
eternal life, you must dedicate yourself to God only. You must obey his 
words and do his commandments. You should avoid following the tradition 
that you used to follow in your old religion. This includes festival, 
rituals and other types of practices.
You must not devote yourself
 to anything other than God. For example, if you love money more than 
God, you are committing the sin of idolatry because you put money as 
your priority. Christians must put God as priority in their lives. You 
should avoid wearing beads, crystals and etc that have connection with 
other religions. You must not practice witchcraft. All witches and 
sorcerers will end up in Hell.
Many Christians read the horoscopes
 to find out what they should do. Christians must not look at horoscope 
to predict their future. Your future is in God's hand. Christians should
 submit every aspect of their life to God and let him take in charge of 
the future. You cannot use decor items that are derived from the culture
 of pagan religion in your homes. You must not eat food that are offered
 to the pagan gods. 1 Corinthians 10:18 - 22 states that we should not 
be participant of the demons by eating food offered to demons because it
 will arouse the jealousy of God.
