Your statement is so wrong on so many levels I can’t fashion a response on FR, but please rethink what you wrote. You can’t be born Christian. Christian schools can’t fix your heart, and how can you know what a Christian life is without reading the Bible? You are resting you soul on a false premise. Religion is NOT what God is looking for. The Pharisee’s were religious.

Indeed! Living a good life is nice, but it can’t possibly save. The most moral law-keeping people were the Scribes and Pharisees, but here is what Christ said of them:

“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
—Maarhew 5:20

The only way to heaven is Christ Jesus. He is The way, the truth, and the life. The standard of God’s kingdom is absolute spotless perfection, which is an impossibility for any man. Without His perfect righteousness imputed to a sinner’s account, there is no chance to ever see the kingdom.

Salvation isn’t achieved through deeds, it’s found only in a man, the perfect God man who gave His life for sinners. And the one and only way to lay hold of Him and His sacrifice is by faith. The just shall live by faith!

you do realize the Bible was not available to the average person for at least 1500 years after Christ left the earth so there were a lot of good Christians who never got to read it?..
