Abdicating personal responsibility could cost you greatly.
I believe in the institution that Jesus left for us. That is my personal responsibility.
>>I would suggest that you select a particular church and look at their beliefs as advertised, and then move on to the next one.<<
I already did that. The Catholic Church was the worst. Why do you think I’m not affiliated with any organized religious organization?
I think that you are of the belief that you can create your own doctrines and that you can hold Jesus to your own standards.
I'm sure I've seen this before, somewhere, I must have. But for some reason, this is just shining brightly right now. That is your personal responsibility? That's IT? To "believe in the institution that Jesus left for us."?
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
No institutional salvation found.

“searched the scriptures daily to see if these things are true” Can’t find the bodily assumption of Mary. Can’t find praying to those who have left this earth other than Jesus. I can’t find paying for indulgences.
