Post the heavy lifting and after a beer or two, the conversation swerved to many topics; one of which was faith. I asked the following:
If I have a deep, connected, and faith-driven relationship with God, but have not accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, is that a problem for my earthly self or eternal soul?I thought it would be an interesting post to see what others think. Thanks for any and all comments.

It's a problem for both.
It is a problem now because you can not serve two masters. If you are not in a relationship with God, through Christ, the Creator of all that is, and all that is Good, then you serve evil.
It is a problem eternally because if you never choose to serve God, you will forever serve the evil one.
Eternity is a very long time.
It's not a problem. As a Jewish woman I can be close to God, but I don't have to accept God as my lord and savior. Your faith is your own.
I'm a pagan. No problem here!
A curious dliema, but only for those of the Christian faith, which as its name implies, is all about Jesus Christ.
Billions of people in the world have a relationship with a god yet feel no necessity to worship Jesus. The notion the he was a direct decendant of some ephemeral entity and that only through his teachings can we lead an honest, good, and true life is rather silly.
"If ..."
''If I have a deep, connected, and faith-driven relationship with God, but have not accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, is that a problem for my earthly self or eternal soul?''
If not? that terminates the ''problem.''
Otherwise, I'd go with 'abraham.' (Above.)
