Actually no, there was no church created at Nicea by +Constantine -- haven't you read the books? Constantine called for a convention of Elders and bishops of the existing Church which he removed from being outlawed. He didn't create anything --> unlike your groups or other groups, The CHurch is not man-made
Ha Ha! You think that Pascha/Wielkanoc is pagan? Parlez-vous Francais? Mowicz po polsku? Or only English?
Na, no magic shows, sadly -- we leave that to televangelists and others who use magic incantantations -- the Eucharist is what Jesus Christ instituted -- you know, we Christians consider Christ God -- I don't know about your group
You are free to follow your pastors or a flawed interpretation of scripture, but you should really come to Christ, be saved in Christ's Church and follow Christ and accept Christ in christ' Church as your God, not your pastor or your own interpretation

No church can save anyone, only by accepting the shed blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary, repenting of your sins, and be baptized can one be saved. However, do not mistake being baptized as necessary for salvation. It is an outward expression of an inward work. Do you not follow the pope, bishops and priests interpretation of the Bible? Yet, you want to say that Protestants follow their pastor’s teachings.
Let me repeat - no institution, or rituals can save anyone. One doesn’t have to be inside a building to be saved, nor affiliated with any group. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin, drawing mankind to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
