Awesome. That's what matters. Christ isn't going to ask us to present Him with bumper stickers as proof we love Him. It's what we do for others that counts.

He's also not going to ask us how many arguements we won on the internet.

No, it's our faith in Him that counts and that only.

8) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

9) not by works, so that no one can boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9

God treats our self-rightousness as filthy rags (litearlly in the Hebrew - menstrual rags)

All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away - Isaiah 64:6
