Do believers have to follow a prescribed ritual like religious people do?
No. Set free believers are not required to follow a prescribed ritual as religious people or Jews do. Instead, they are individually accountable to God alone and simply stay in tune with Him, doing what He leads them to do as their logical, practical service.
Les explains that for the Jew or for a person in a religion, ritual has to be followed. But set free believers do not have a prescribed ritual. They are simply in tune with God and do what He leads them to do. This fits being an individual accountable to God alone, which is their logical, practical service.
