Default Not just good deeds

I don't like the whole imagery thing that the Catholics have - its very pretty but it has little meaning to me. Nor do I like the idea of going to a big cold stone building and singing songs in it for an hour on a Sunday morning. However, MoleMan's idea of worship through deeds, lifestyle and personal study of the Bible seems like a good way to do it.
Good deeds are all well and good, but personally...I don't think Any of that means squat unless you have accepted Christ as your Savior. As I said earlier, Jesus did not come to make the bad good. Jesus came so that the dead could live. I do think that we can achieve a Lot of earthly good from good deeds, but I am going for the Heavenly good that only comes from doing good deeds in Christ Name.

I do somewhat agree with Baptism being important, but I think that accepting Christ is the key. the discussion of Baptism does open up a whole new debate though, doesn't it? LOL
