What is so hard about, "Just read the Bible and believe what it says?"
What is so hard about, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that God hath raise Him from the dead, and thou shalt be saved?"
Why should anyone have to jump through these kinds of hoops when God's Word makes it so damned simple?

@JeffGrimesArt @tyler @BowsacNoodle @verita84 oh for my case it's a Special Case, i am Ethnically Turkish and have no Christian Background, i also joined in as an Adult.
i critique the bureaucracy, but it's a pretty good System they got, they basically officially declare you as a Christian in Training, you do Bible Study and are guided through the Faith, so that by the time you are Baptised, you have fully integrated into a Christian Lifestyle, as well as gotten Familiar with Prayer and the Parish.
the reason i needed to do the PDF way is because in cases like mine it has to go through the Bishop.
in cases like Mine it's often that you are Baptised by the Bishop himself.
And you are also Offered the Choice to pick a new Name.
if it wasn't for this, it would be Very overwhelming, even after i started to go to Church for the First time in Church it took me 2 months to actually get rid of my Habitual Worst Sins.
