I can see that you haven't. You missed the main point of the Bible=which is "the good news"-that you do not have to go to hell.

Friend Yes I have met many people that don't have to quote scriptures to prove they are a Christian, I myself, Just live the life before them, & I just retired from My employer after 38 yrs. on the job, You will never guess the amount of people that thanked me for LIVING IT BEFORE THEM, Then To try to say something & NOT LIVING IT. I Know many people that don't talk religion, But people can see it in them, My pastor one day was working, & he stop at a grocery store & not even saying anything, the person behind him said You must be a Minister, & he did not have on all this Garbish clothing that a lot of ministers does,, Now about having sex before marriage, yes it is a sin, But God can also forgive you of that sin if you ask him to, & never do that again outside of marriage.

No one can follow the Bible exactly, because none of us are perfect. If we could be perfect there would have never been a reason for God to send Jesus to carry a cross and die for our sins to save us from a hell death. Because of Jesus and only if we believe in Him, we are good in the eyes of the Lord and will live in heaven eternally. We choose life or death. Ask for forgiveness today not tommorrow and strengthen your walk with the Lord.

You go to hell because of your lack of relationship with God and His Son. We are without comdemnation who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1-4;
1 ¶ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
I know many of you do not like to read the Bible, and some are attacked by the words of the Bible, but when you ask questions that have a Biblical answer, a Biblical answer is what you will get.
Also as to works according to Galatians 2:16
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

I don't think anyone could "follow the Bible exactly". There are many contradictions and ambiguous things in the Bible. If it were a precise unambiguous book there would likely be one denomination, not hundreds or thousands. In fact you could (and people have) used the Bible to justify almost any action they care to take.

I personally do not feel that anyone follows the contents contained in the Bible 100%
This says nothing about the accuracy of its interpretation.

We are all sinners, but some of us have our sins covered by the blood of the Lamb of God.
Being covered, we become a new person, born in the spirit, born again.

Just for your informational use, we don't go to hell for any sin, those are forgiven. So are yours, btw.
And yes, I've met true "religions" persons before and they are wonderful people.
