Do you read the Bible or just disregard it's importance, and defer to Roman tradition as gospel and worship Mary instead of Jesus?

I'm a Protestant, Rome doesn't tell me what to do, the Word of God does.

I've read the entire Bible more than once. The Protestant Church I go to bases EVERY message on the Bible and we also work through the Bible chapter by chapter.

"bases EVERY message..." -- well in that case which does it hold to?

What is it's stand on:

  1. something as basic as Jesus was always God (Trinitarian position) or that Jesus Christ was man made God (Oneness PENTECOSTAL Protestant position) or the Angel Michael (Seventh Day Adventist Ellen G White teaching) -- all three use scripture alone to justify their points of view and have three diverge in their points of view
  2. he REAL Presence of Christ in the Eucharist (Lutheran, some Anglicans, maybe even Methodists), or is it just a symbol (as your post said)?
  3. talking in tongues -- does one HAVE to talk in tongues (Oneness Pentecostal) to display faith or not?
  4. and the episcopate (bishops etc.) -- some who have scripture alone have it, some don't
  5. Do you read in scripture alone whether Baptism is for infants and sufficient (Presbyterian etc.) or not (Baptists)?
  6. God pre-damns people to hell (Calvinism) or not (others)
  7. Jesus came only for the salvation of a few (Calvinists) or he was Savior of the world (everyone else)?
  8. agree or disagree with soul sleep?
  9. worshipping on a Sunday (Presbyterians, Pentecostals etc.) or not (Seventh Day Adventists)
  10. agree with the Adventists that one should follow kosher laws or not?
  11. and spiritual gifts like prophecy amongst us (Pentecostals) or not (Presbyterians)
  12. "slain in the spirit" (Pentecostalism) or not (Presbyterianism, Lutheranism etc)
  13. Regeneration comes through Baptism (Lutheranism) or not (Baptists)
  14. do you read that grace can be resisted (Pentecostalism, Lutheranism, Methodism) or not (Calvinism)
  15. is baptism is three-fold (Mennonites) or not?
  16. imputed righteousness (Calvinism) or not (Mennonites)
