Hi Michel
That is very good news. But I don't quite understand exactly what you mean by 'religious affiliation'. You see genuine Gnosticism is not a 'religion' (in the common sense of the word), and the word affiliation is also rather strange. I understand a genuine Gnostic (as opposed to a 'pseudo-gnostic') to be one who has actually discovers the Mystic Knowledge of God, and experiences, 'first-hand', the very Vision and Voice of God within. The true Gnostic way is a solitary road (no church congregations, and much persecution) - although God will always be with you.
Is this what you are saying, or do you mean that you are joining some so-called Gnostic hierarchical church, i.e. another religion?
Peace & Love

From Michaels previous posts his has always been a solitary path to God.
Gnosticism would seem to cover that very well.

............But I have changed my Religious "affilliation" to Gnosticism.
I think that I have always been one (without knowing it).
"Gnosticism" u mean "Pre- christian religion"?
if so then wellDone coz Warqa bin Naofal was Gnostic Christian who predict Muhammad pbuh as a prophet (evideince he found from his pre-christian scriptures).....

Not your average Mormon
I think the change is appropos, michel. It seems to be a better fit for you than just Christianity.............But I have changed my Religious "affilliation" to Gnosticism.

So you're saying you were agnostic about your gnostism
Good luck Michel, it takes alot of courage to make a change like this
It should be interesting to hear how it affects your life.

You hit the nail on the head Terry.
