Hi,
I'm glad you are asking questions and looking for a home church. The main thing I consider when choosing a church is if they are a bible based fellowship. For someone to simply say 'this is right' and 'that is wrong' is unacceptable to me. Despite the fact that I have been studying the bible since I was a young girl and DO know what it has to say, that is what I look for in a pastor and will accept nothing less.
I would hope that the pastor you mentioned did use bible reference when answering your questions or explaining things to you. If he didn't and does not preach with a bible in hand- and use referenences in his sermons- in my view that is not 'church' but a lecture.
Now, if what you believe does not match up with what the bible has to say- that would be a different story and I would challenge you to read the bible for yourself and discover what God has to say.
One of the best ways to find a home church is to visit a few and go to more than just the Sunday services so that you can get a better idea of what they are about. If you find one you like, I suggest you attend a new believers class and/or adult Sunday school.
God bless!
