Alternatively, there's a "fast track" version that involves only two steps:

1) You come to realize and accept that any time you let an ordinary man start a new Christian denomination and interpret scripture on their own, your church will inevitably have some errors on faith and morals.

2) You join the Catholic Church and take comfort in the fact they will NEVER change their stance on abortion, gay bishops, etc.

Yes. These twelve steps don’t make much sense to me.

1. You turn to God and ask for His grace and enlightenment to find the true Church.

2. You read up on the Bible, the Church Fathers, theology, and history.

3. You follow God’s guidance to the true Church.

That took me from the Episcopal Church to the Catholic Church. I hope that those who disagree with that outcome will at least agree that you do not find God or his True Church by consulting with committees of bewildered ELCA members.

I want to start a new church called: KJV New Testament.

Church= let's read it and talk about it.

You mean like the inquisition.
