That personal 'relationship' with Jesus, and that 'Jesus' they are talking about is the sum of a select group of Bible verses, not the entirety of Jesus as completely described in Scripture.
When I was a kid, one of my sisters had an imaginary horse. (not unlike Lucy in Non Sequitor) That imaginary horse did not stink up the house, never knocked over the furniture, didn't poop all over the place and other than being damn annoying as a real part of sis's life at the time, was pretty damn benign as far as real horses go.
So, this 'Jesus' most folks are fawning over isn't even the Jesus of the Bible, it (is 'He' appropriate when referring to an ersatz Jesus?) is a subset, an incomplete, partial and under-defined Jesus. It's like my sisters horse, or Danae's Lucy.
Smells of heresy to me . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
