I'm glad that I have to read such questions, about what to believe or not believe. The fact is I force myself not to think about doctrines and dogma.
I believe in God, and sometimes I pray. I sometimes pray to Jesus, and recently I even learned to pray to God the Father after reading some good posts from David C., Lydia and some others on the Bible Search board at NDN. Lydia started a thread there by pointing out some falsities in Berg's teachings: "Check out what Jesus said about our relationship with the Father (and His) It's wonderful and refreshing to be able to escape the legalism of Berg and face the reality of the Words of Jesus.")

Sometimes I want to get back into reading the Bible more, but I shy away from it because of flashbacks I have on how "you better get into the word brother and you'd better be living in the word, or else..." so I find it easier to skip it.
