The person makes the bible.
I believe someone can give their life to God and never step foot in a church. If you truely believe your gifts in life come from God (true gifts not bday presents) and you repay those gifts by being a good person and being kind to others and honest is that not enough? I know Jesus died on the cross for my sins. He shed his blood to give me eternal life. I try everyday to be a good caring person. I fail but if he lets me wake up tomorrow I'll try again.

Your right. Look at the 2 sinners crucified with Jesus. This is a huge lesson. There was a reason for this. While one mocked him through other surrendered and exhibited faith by asking Jesus to remember him in heaven. Jesus responded to his faith and said today you will be with me in paradise. Saul, or their apostle Paul a murder.
But as far as not going to church ect that's where everyday faith comes in. That's the flesh talking. Once you accept Jesus as your savior you get a big help from three holy spirit. And then you will want to do their things pleasing to God. Not by your own power but his. I encourage anyone to read Romans chapter 7.
