>>I 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.

>>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.<<

“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.

In other words, we must believe in the institution that He Created w.r.t. the Apostles and the Holy Spirit commissioned at Pentecost. Thanks for pointing that out.

You might want to find out what the early Christians believed and the documents that they used as references.
