Nah not really.
Consider:
"I helped a village in Africa get a clean water supply."
"Good! That's commendable."
"Yes, I believe in doing Jeebus' work."
Personally I find it far more commendable to do those things out of a feeling of solidarity for humanity, rather than because I was told to.
And also, in many cases, because otherwise I'd go to hell.
But Cockbrush said it better...

That's fine.
I'd help because I can, not because Jesus told me.
But some would argue that I'd be helping because of Jesus.
