@deadgerbil Jesus isn't interested in what church, denomination, or as people say, what "religion" one belongs to. Religion is nothing. It is only man-made philosophy. Jesus did not die for religion. He died for each individual, so we could have a personal relationship with Him. When one accepts Jesus as their personal savior, they are only called a Christian because that means they are a follower of Christ, not a religion. Religion did not die on the cross for our sins. Jesus did. That's why it is called a personal relationship and He is our personal Savior.
Which to choose? That's up to you, but Jesus is the only one who has access to God in heaven, who forgives our sins. Jesus is our only Mediator between God and man, so we can have eternal life in heaven. This is something that we must not leave to chance. Where we shall spend eternity, is a choice we must make, or we remain unsaved and unforgiven for our sins. Therefore, this is the most important decision we shall ever make in our entire life, because that choice determines where we'll spend eternity. No one has to go to hell. All it takes is your decision to turn away from a life of sin, invite Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior, and ask Him to forgive you of your sins. Eternity is a lot longer, obviously, than the very short time we spend on earth. Your soul is at stake, so this is not something you leave to chance.
