Intense psychological turmoil - and encounters

[Creaky]

Christianity differs from the previous "tribes" mentioned in that they involved everyone making a connection in the tribe.  Here only the chosen or called goes through such a rite, not say there is no other rites in Christianity.  It's the level of devotion that is called into question, flagellants springs to mind. 

yes, everyone should be a part of the “community” re Christianity, for help and support
But are not all chosen, or called according to Christian teaching? 
it’s an individuals choice to follow Jesus or not
And what is this rite, baptism? 
And with the teaching of God being to love, what evidence is devotion you call as questionable and who questions it?

Flagelants are a very tiny offshoot with no biblical principle
