And, if they feel that Christ "paid my bill," what incentive will one have not to sin? After all, no matter what I do, then, the bill is paid!

It's called the Holy Spirit. Once indwelt you are a changed person. When convicted by the Holy Spirit it can be overwhelming for a believer.

I know trusting Jesus alone may seem radical to those that find comfort in a large church, but wasn't that what the Apostles did?

I understand that. Yet, we continue to sin, because love does not compel.

Trust is fine but it says nothing about one's faith. It's what he does with his faith that will be judged.

It's not enough to just say "I love you."
