So then there’s literally nothing I, as a non-Christian, can’t do at your Church?

So then what *are* the rules? [/quote]

Someone posted them back on page 1 or 2!

Love the lord your god
Love your neighbor as yourself

The end.

Lots of religions are big on rules.  Christianity (at it's core) isn't.  It's ridiculously simple.  Believe in Jesus, love people, that's all.[/quote]

But the one that says “accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.” That’s a big one, right? That’s the one that gets you into Heaven. So you say you don’t have many rules, but if you’ve got one that prevents you from suffering eternal damnation — well, that’s a pretty damn important rule.[/quote]

You call it a rule...I call it a gift. 
A gift which you have the absolute free will to accept or reject.
And yes, it's a pretty big one. In fact it is the ONLY requirement. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one gets to the father except through Me." John 14:6

So you can go through all the motions of rituals and ceremonies and standing and sitting and praying and singing and whatever makes you feel close to God. But none of that is required. The ONLY thing that is absolutely spelled out by Jesus in order for us to have salvation is that we say "YES. Yes, Christ Jesus, I accept that you are my personal savior. I accept your gift of salvation."

You have already sinned. We ALL have and continue to repeatedly. Every action has a consequence. This is true the world over by design. And by design of our creator, the wages (payment) of sin is death.

But God the Father does not want us to live in separation from Him for all eternity. So he offered a solution to this bitter consequence. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. That whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:!6
