I decided I would follow church as said below incase will help to prove for others to see the full truth to make others clearly see their need to keep all commandments they show only if possible to prove though that may not be the truth but that anyone can be saved just to repent to call on christ if that is all can do but I wont accept that to follow church always to assume not knowing what is required for unbaptised unless christ proves other christians can be saved and I will seek God in bible reading to know christ also to see if will prove other christians are saved.
I know some will seek to mock following orthodox church because church can close but church might teach though I dont know to assume anything but some may hold if it is impossible to go to church such is not necessary but just to accept faith and be baptised by any and must seek to do if possible that christ knows if you made enough effort however much is necessary.
This is below I will follow:
It doesnt look like there is hope for me to be more spiritual again to be spiritual man again and not natural so I decided to follow the below just to see if will make difference and keep following to be safe incase later will know and only change my view if christ proves other christians can be saved.
I believe there is no strength of conviction and grace to continually abide in the truth so I decided to follow orthodox church to test it to have sacraments to teach me the truth. I do believe anyone can be saved and that accept orthodox church teaches if one is being killed all that matters is accepting faith that you dont need to have been baptised or to see priest and if one is far from church or cant go to church person just needs to make effort to go to church even if cant that God knows if made enough effort. It could also be one just needs to desire to join the church that if difficult God does not require or even if close to church if you desire to join church but never make it because of any slowness to obey but there is desire however small God accepts. But I will accept I dont know what God requires for those not baptised if they dont die for faith as martyrs to see if it will teach me more clearly what is truth.
1 John 2:4"Whoever says, 'I know him,' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him"
