Can someone summarize it?
Can you watch this one?

I've watched them both and many other explanations along the like. Most explanations along the like are about what faith is NOT like. Gillette is just saying he respects someone who is on the opposite side and not crossing his boundaries.
I'm no missionary, just barely a Christian. I can't tell you what your faith will be like, only what mine is.
When it comes to salvation, it is simple. God has a gift in his open hand reaching out to you and you can accept it or reject it. Nothing else. This is the free will of God's plan for you. He is a loving Father with a no frills gift, and you can take it or reject it; the choice is yours.
There is huge difference between 'the church' and 'your faith'. The church is an institution. Your faith is the relationship you have with God.
There is not more pure and beautiful thing than faith. You aren't coerced into it, you aren't forced into it; you simply step in and choose it. You don't need a priest, pastor, or preacher. You don't need a building, pew, or alter. You don't need a Bible, catechism, or brochure. You only need 2 things:
1- Repent of your sins
2 - Accept God's son Jesus' life and death as your Lord and Savior
I can't talk you into it; I can't talk you out of it. You have to choose or reject it. Which ever way you fall, the Gift is always there.
