Do you have to be a part of an organised religion to be loved by God?
This probably sounds like an odd question but here we go. I’ve always believed in a higher power, God, I suppose.
Churches or Mosques or Temples have never interested me much. I’ve always believed that not everybody worships in the same way, the rituals you must perform, EG Baptism or Communion are supposedly acts of faith.
I’ve always thought faith comes from within. As for how I know what is sin and what is not, I think that’s instinct. Deep down you know and can feel what is wrong.
Anyway my question. I know in organised religion there are conditions you must meet to reach salvation. Pray this way, Say this before you die etc. So really what I’m asking is whether it’s better to privately believe in God or have no faith at all.

No. God loves every one of His human children, whether we return His love or not. He died a horrible death so that each of us would be able to be saved and experience eternal happiness. Of course, He also gave us free will, the right to accept that incredible gift, or reject it.
God loves all of man kind. But God does not love how man kind abuses the freewill he gives us. So you are blessed. Spend your freewill wisely.
Seek God through His word, the Bible.
You are to be led by God, not organised religion or anything else.
The message of the gospel is about salvation being a matter of faith only. Churches, run by wolves in sheep's clothing, alter the gospel in order to feed their own bellies. Don't put your faith in a church.
Faith is about "privately" believing in God to the exclusion of all else.
HOW ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZED? In the first century, Christians congregations in many lands beneficial from a central government body that recognized Jesus as the Head of the congregation. ( Acts 16: 4,5) Similarly today, Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide benefit from a governing Body of experienced elders. It oversees branch offices of Jehovah's Witnesses that translate, print, and distribute Bible- study material in over 600 languages. Thus the Governing Body can provide Scriptures al encouragement and direction for over 100,000 congregations worldwide. In the each congregation, qualified men serve as elders., or overseers. These men lovingly care for God's flock Read peter 5:2,3. Jehovah's Witnesses are organized to preach the good news and make disciples. like the apostles, we preach from house to house. (Acts 20:20) We also offer to study the Bible with sincere lovers of the truth. But Jehovah's Witnesses are not just an organization. We are a family with loving Father. We are brothers and sisters who care for one another. ( 2 Thessalonians 1:3) since Jehovah's people are organized to pleas God and to help others, they form the happiest family on earth. Read Psalm 33:12; acts :35. For more information JW.ORG
Only the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth. One must accept Catholicism as the One True Faith before dying in order to avoid eternal damnation.
God hates religions, so he sent his Son Jesus to put an end to them, not to make yet another. And he gave us his word the Holy Bible to instruct us as to how we should worship. Any other deity, and/or in any other way constitutes sheer idolatry. And he destroys idolaters.
Revelation 21:8 KJV — But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
NO.........................
Probably not, but the path to truth is harder.
