I've answered your questions as clearly as I know how, and there aren't any more answers to be had. 
I consider anyone who has devoted their life to following the teachings of Christ to be a devout Christian. The truths found in God's Word are the most important ones anyone will ever discover. I don't see how those two statements are contradictory. Sorry to disappoint! |
So let's look at this from another direction and I'll just ask a direct yes/no question: Are the "One-God, Jesus' name baptism, tongues, three-step for salvation" doctrines meaningful to you?
And I didn't say anything about "pursuing religion". I've never been interested in religion. I'm talking about pursuing God through the channel of the local church. I'm talking about "Bob", who's life is in chaos, who decides to attend church, the next day. What makes your church the better place, doctrinally?
