I guess I have to answer you in part with a question of my own. Do you believe your questions can be answered by the promptings of the Holy Ghost? You will find as you discuss religion with Baptists, or at least the ones I share friendships with, our belief in personal revelation throught the Holy Ghost is one of the issues they have with our church. They believe the written word of the bible is the only revelation. Be careful in allowing people to use one verse out of context arguments against you or the church.
Also, what specifically are some of your concerns. I read the other post about the cross. I must say, I disagree with you, but, something that minor is not something to make a church choice over. Also, I am kind of curious why are the majority of your friends non LDS. All of my son's friends are non members because I drug him East for my job. He is the only deacon in our ward here. Are you active in your ward? If so, is there some issue you are facing making it diffcult for you to associate with LDS youth?
