Why cannot I just hold on to my belief in Christ without committing myself to an organized church?

Wai-ming, in times past God has overlooked those who would not turn to the truth. In our day, however, he has provided an unmistakable sign of the correct path to him. That sign is the resurrection of Jesus from the grave.

This is what the Apostle Paul said: Romans 10: if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

You believe in the resurrection of Jesus. That is awesome.

It is now time to bow your knee to Jesus as Lord.

Make Jesus the Lord of your life. Accept and acknowledge the He is Lord of All. Confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord." Then you will be saved.

That's it? I'm done?

But what if my concept of Christ is different from yours? I want to be sure I'm aligning myself with the "right" one.
