Staying with traditional Christianity is indication that a person is NOT bearing fruit. That was his point I think.

Personally I don't think any true followers of Christ would have any association with Christianity.
Then you need to read the NT a little more thoroughly. The early church was filled with problems. But that is the point of the scriptures and the teachings of the apostles. To teach the church how they ought to be. We all strive to follow the teachings of Christ. Some of them are very hard to follow and as humans we all fail and fall and stumble along the way. And sometimes major changes need to take place and those that fail to follow need to be purged from the congregation such as those who claim Christ, but belong to the KKK. Their works prove they do not belong.

Thanks, but I have no regrets.

P.S. I can quote contrary scripture too - doesn't necessarily and automatically make it right, just because it's found in a book - "This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "I have seen beings who — endowed with bodily misconduct, verbal misconduct, & mental misconduct; who reviled noble ones, held wrong views and undertook actions under the influence of wrong views — at the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of deprivation, the bad destination, the lower realms, in hell." (Iti 58)

Yes you can quote things too, but your statement proves my point. You never really knew him. I wish you did.
