i think a more important question for those of us NOT attending a body is HOW are you getting fed? do you read your bible? do you pray? do you listen to sermons or teaching? if we DON'T belong to a fellowship, DON'T worship with the body, AND DON'T get fed....how exactly are we supposed to become like Christ?

Your question assumes that every conservative is a Christian. Many of us are not.

sorry not to be clear. i was not talking about conservatives...i know that many conservatives are not christians. i was talking about christians.

for those who are not part of the family of god through christ, it doesn't make one bit of a difference to God whether they are moral or go to church--that is good works which he doesn't accept as the basis for salvation. when you stand in front of god at the great throne judgement, he won't be asking "did you attend church?" that is all written in the book of deeds, the book of words, and the other books--he already knows. all that will matter is if your name is in the book of life and the only way to get it there is through Christ.

"Rev 20 The Dead Are Judged

11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
