When Humans de-prioritize their lower nature in favor of enlivening the higher mind (god) and it's attributes, then salvation occurs. From that point forward it's called sanctification, or 'working-out' one's salvation in honor (fear and trembling) of what the higher mind has revealed.
Worshiping 'god' just means to be faithful to what your higher mind dictates. Things like... Don't steal; don't kill; don't lie; love others as you love yourself; etc.
Failing to worship 'god' just means that even though in your higher mind (the real you that is free from ego) you know what is best, you act contrary to that impetus. This is called disobedience, which leads to hell, which is a depraved, divided, and confused state of mind.
That's all well and good in a new-agey sense ShaMan, but I'm more talking about the theological, agent God that Cameltoe is talking about.
I think the same sort of thing, once you are saved you are doing all you can to thank God. Can you just call me carm.
