11. Can be almost any. I'd avoid the ones that beat you up with laws and regulations.

I say this because I have been in a lot of bible based churches. Even ones with "Grace" in their name can be law based. If they require tithes I'd walk away. There is two orgs that has a lot of branches that has been a real eye opener for me. They detoxified my understandings. One is called Grace Walk Ministries with Steve McVey. The other is called Grace Communion International. They are both birds of the same feather. Try http://www.gracewalk.org/teachings/101-lies-taught-in-church.html or http://www.gracewalk.org
