I would still find my own way to worship, which is pretty much what I do now, anyway.

It does not prove whether or not Jesus Christ is Lord. The Biblical teaching is that we can either be judged by God on our own merits, or we can be judged by God on the merits of Christ. I've thrown in with Christ. I'll gladly choose Him to represent me instead of representing myself. I've sinned. He hasn't. People who are condemned are condemned because of their own actions.
