Honestly, I have neither. Well, I suppose the former I do have, but I don't know the name. I haven't really ever been the type to harp on titles and what not - though I suppose it would make it much easier for others to know where I was coming from if I did. To answer your question, though...yes, I am most definitely seeking a relationship with God and His Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
At the same time, I just find it hard to completely dismiss other paths just because those who speak of such paths don't call themselves Christians, you know? I understand that it's a slippery slope I am taking, but I would hope that my earnest desire to find God and His kingdom would allow me to receive His Truth without veering too far off course. There is one bible and yet there are a million different interpretations - it's hard for me to conclude whole-hardheartedly that there isn't at least an ounce of Truth in these other "paths" that seem to be completely in-line with what Jesus was pointing to.
