If a man ride a motorcycle and if in integrity, he rides it because he likes it whether he ride with others or not. But yet to ride with others he must have a motorcycle. The same in the Lord Jesus. If a man have fellowship with the Father and the Son he will have fellowship with the Father and the Son no matter what, for in the Love of that fellowship with the Father and the Son is he. But yet he cannot fellowship with others who have the fellowship with the Father and the Son unless he have the fellowship with the Father and the Son.
Hence the activities presented to prove one’s self as “christian” rather then have the fellowship with the Father and the Son where as the fellowship with the Father and the Son is not necessarily necessary to prove one’s self as “christian”.
Therefore if you need what the church membership wants, in their justification thereof. You need fellowship of like minds to justify one’s self. But if you need what God the Father wants, then it be, the fellowship with the Father and the Son.
For truly it is our destiny to be in the company of not only the Father and the Son but also the sons of God. And in this are we completed.
For the pride is “christian” friendship valued more then the Kingdom come. For if the church think itself to be the way, it is sadly mistaken. For it is Jesus that is the Way to fellowship with the Father and the Son and the son’s of God. For those who have fellowship with the Father and the Son will have fellowship with the Father and the Son whether no one else does or not. But christian” friendship does not exist, with out another christian” friend.
Therefore without the fellowship with the Father and the Son, one has nothing in the Kingdom of God.
Luke 13:
25: When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27: But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28: There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29: And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30: And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
Any opinions on this?

I am at a complete loss as to what was said in the first half of the post. Sorry.
But if the point of the second half was to highlight the idea that we (Christians) often take part in churches only so that we can have fellowship with other believers, and that doing so leaves the relationship with Christ absent, then I agree.
Too many people are a part of a church family but ultimately not a part of the family of God.
My apologies if I have missed your point completely.

I concur with kd.
As for true christian fellowship which I label as horizontal,
there is none without the fellowship of God which I label vertical.
We can be horizontal in the flesh,
but, we have to be vertical to truly be horizontal.
More confusion? lol.

The hort./vert. analogy is good. The OP statement, 'christian” friendship does not exist, with out another christian' is nonsensical. A disciple, maybe(13:23), asked a rhetorical question. Since this was a speculative question, Jesus did not answer it directly. He is saying to this man, "Make sure you are saved." In the rest of this brief discourse, the Lord made it clear that many will be saved who are not sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob another words, apostate.

What is a true Christian friendship?
Well, I have a Christian friend, he is my brother in Christ. We have mutual respect for one another and trust each other. Sure we hang out and have fun, but we also confide in each other and keep each other accountable. I think what makes our relationship a TRUE Christian friendship is the fact that we PRAY together. We meet up to talk about our struggles and blessings, then we pray together in a quiet place. I highly recommend it, it is an awesome feeling to pray side by side with your fellow brother in Christ.
