I was wondering this about others today. I’m Closest to an open view because I chose to try and strip as close to bare bones as I could when I came back to God. I wanted to learn as if I knew nothing except basic morality, and the Love of God through Christ and the Spirit. Because everything the local churches had been (while I ran from God) was more biased toward politics and focusing more on condemnation of others, than it was about showing others how to come to Christ. I’m really in the beginning stages of learning and most of my study is on my own while I pray to understand necessary passages in God’s own time. I also study on another forum that I like because there are a variety of different viewpoints presented and I feel that it reminds me to cut my own bias and assumptions from my studies.
Sorry, Jon I never really replied to your OP. I have always had a bad taste in my mouth for certain churches and I've been to many. Catholic masses are beautiful and organized and show reverence for God. But I disagree strongly with catholic church history and historic leaders and the Jesuits. I thought I was Pentecostal for a while but couldn't get into the charismatic fakery.

Most churches have politics and as the end days are foretold, more will seek smaller groups of fellowship. I do not feel closer to God by going to place with a large group of people dressing up or even not dressing up , but there is no clear message from the proceedings or the pastor. I get much more and feel closer to Jesus Christ when I share scriptures and thought of things above with friends I can trust in the comfort and safety of my home and the computer. I get much more from reading a few chapters of a book in the Bible than I do from most sermons.

Don't get me wrong, I hear great sermons in church but I will not put up with the hypocrisy and the distractions. One can only really grow in Christ by reading and studying bit by bit and forming your own theology, nobody else's formula. Spiritual discernment and understanding will come to all, I believe, if they seek earnestly with an unselfish heart.

Hearing, believing and trusting the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross; His death, burial and resurrection, the gospel of our salvation, seals us with that Holy Spirit of Promise. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise. 2 Peter 3:9 KJV - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV - Ephesians 1:10-14 KJV - Romans 10:9-10 KJV - Romans 10:13 - Romans 10:17 - Ephesians 1:7 KJV - Colossians 1:14 KJV -
