Are you saying that unless my union with Christ takes place along side the fellowship of other Christians, my soul will begin to atrophy? And if so, can you elaborate?

Christ prayed in the following words:

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us [...]"

You cannot be truly one with Christ and separated from other Christians. No one is saved alone.

I don't agree with your interpretation of the scripture you quoted in your reply to me. You may be correct, but it will take more than that scriptural verse to convince me that you are. I am saved by my belief that Christ is the son of God, that he died for my sins and the redemption of my soul, and that he rose again to be with the Father.

I do not believe that the worth of my faith is contingent upon my Church union with fellow believers.
