TO MIKE
I was born in comunism so I am not baptised at all. When the comunism failed I was about 20 years and I decided to baptise. This is where my search began. Last 15 years I am reading a lot about religion in general. In that reading I noticed that among all religions I am interested only in Christianity, so I was founded with knowledge but I was not ready spiritualy to accept Jesus Christ. Finally that happened 3 years ago. But another problem occured. I can not accept the dogma of any kind. I can not say AMEN (very strong word) to something I do not believe. For instance, episode about walking on the water. When I red that I was thinking for days, and then Jesus explained me for good what the faith is. I was happy. In the Baptist church they saw that episode on totaly different way (just another miracle of Jesus).
Speaking in the tongues(I was present once) made me think about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I knew for sure that old man was honest with whole his being, but also I knew that I can not say AMEN to something I do not understand. And also that what he did is not in line with the Bible.
So I decided to go alone, i.e. by definition it is a gnostic.
So, now when (I hope) you understand my position, try to give me the answer.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
P.S. In the Orthodox Church, which is my natural environment, you can find a true believers but the Church has an unofficial policy to avoid the Holy Bible.
Another small question. When you read the Bible do you use a references that author put beside a verse.
P.P.S.
(I have the University degree in techical sciencies, if the fact will help you to make the picture more clear).
