Hey, I gave my life to christ in July 05', but I was raised catholic, so the idea of a personal relationship with christ was a completely foreign concept to me. I'm 18, and I'm going away to college in the fall, and there's so many options for churches, it's unbelievable. But my problem is I'm torn between catholicism and something like baptist/bible church. I believe in a theistic evolution, a personal relationship with christ, waiting until marriage and so forth. I also don't believe in putting down other's beliefs, and that you won't necessarily go to hell if you don't believe in christ. I'm actually very confused on that latter part, as my ex bf/best friend recently died,and I'm not sure what his faith was really like, but he was such a beautiful and wonderful christian-like guy, that he had to go to heaven! I'm also not that into communion and saints, but also not into evangelizing....I love helping people, just for the good of mankind, like God/Jesus wants me to help people all over the world, and put aside my faith, and just help them. I also believe in peace and basically only peace, and that people shouldn't be persecuted because of their beliefs or sins(depending actually on the sin...like breaking an actual law)
Now if you believe in any of these things, thats great, wonderful, I just don't believe in the things mentioned above that i disagreed with. My question is: What type of church would someone reccommend to someone like me, and I took a online quiz and it said I was a quaker, but I'm not sure if thats quite right...just some advice would be great. thanks
