They follow Christ's teachings in the Bible, probably more closely than most denominational churches.

Do they follow Christ's teachings to eat His flesh and blood, as they are true food and true drink, in order to have eternal life? Do they follow Christ's teachings that say the Apostles have the power to forgive and retain sins? Do they follow Christ's teachings that say the institutional Church (Peter) is the shepherd sent to feed His sheep while he is away?

You'll have to ask them, my friend. But protestants and born again Christians don't believe you have to eat his flesh and blood in order to have enternal life. Christ died for our sins and Christ only can forgive us our sins. I don't need to go through a man to have that done. I can confess my sins to someone else, I suppose, but s/he doesn't have the power to forgive them. Only Christ can do that. I know you believe Peter was the first Pope but most of the protestants I know do not. We disagree on so many things. Too bad.
