Hello /christian/, I've actually never posted here before, but I've been put in quite a predicament and I'd like to hear all of your opinions.
About a month ago, I had a conversation on my college campus with a Christian fellow who invited me to a scripture reading/Bible group. I said I'd take him up on his offer. I thought it would be a nice way to meet some people my age who were also Christian.
Long story short, the group of people I met are part of what is called the International Christian Church. I went to a few of their services, made some friends, but it still has been rubbing me the wrong way.
This is a very fundamentalist group. They also have some distinctive beliefs of their own. For example, Christians must be "disciples", and "disciples" must follow a certain doctrine which is to not only have faith and pray to God, but ALSO to spread the word (kind of like Jehovah's Witnesses, I guess?) and also to be baptized as an adult. I was baptized as a child, which according to them, is not a legitimate baptism. Because I have not been "legitimately" baptized, I would in fact, go to hell if I were to get hit by a truck today.
If you're curious about what exactly they believe, and what their criteria for a "true Christian/disciple" is, I have their manifesto/ideology here:

What is your opinion of this kind of Christian fundamentalism? What would you do in my position? What makes a true Christian? This has been an interesting and truly dramatic experience for me thus far, but I feel like I don't truly trust this church's teachings.
