Salvation is instantaneous, we come as we are, wretched sinners. AFTER salvation, we are required to die to the old ways and begin to WORK OUT our own salvation with fear and trembling. It is not over when converted, that is the START LINE for the believer who has been born again. Hearers and doers are what is required AFTER salvation, with the instruction and help from the Spirit, according to the Word. To be born again and saved, but to do nothing afterward, is like a new born baby that never grows up. We are not saved to sit and do nothing afterward, but to mature in our salvation, bear fruit, and mature as children of God, in the doing of righteousness.

No you don't.....you openly admitted that you do not assemble in church capacity....now you are being dishonest in the opening line.....Forsaking assembling = wilful sin, tramples Jesus, counts the blood of Christ a common ordinary base thing.
Make no mistake....you are not right with God!

Let's look at the opening verses to ascertain the context shall we?
(Gal 6:1-5)
Brethren, if a man is [overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.

Satan has no power over a believer; only the unbelievers. Because the scripture says to resist the devil and he will flee from you.
But a person who ventures back into sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth has probably been delivered to despair by God himself.
Proverbs 1:23-30
[23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord : [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
