I grew up ELCA Lutheran which is a quite liberal church by the standards of most Christian churches. For instance I was taught that a person who followed the golden rule/Jesus' one commandment would get into heaven because god didn't really give two shits about doctrinal disputes among humans and "living a godly life" was itself a de facto acceptance of Jesus.

Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - F. Nietzche
