What would you suggest for this person

[cma]

Hi. I would seek God more until you’re sure you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit as this would make decisions much more clear. I’m not trying to offend you. 
Personally I wouldn’t choose any of your options. I would use an online church locator (even this doesn’t always lead you to a good church) but I’d start there. Just to find places to visit. Choose a church that is sound in doctrine (meaning they teach the Bible), uncorrupt in leadership, no leading women (sometimes churches will say on their website “our Pastors John and Patty” referring to a married couple that both share that role), and also that has opportunities to fellowship within that church. 
i would go to church even if you are still not totally sure you’re Christian as exposure to a church like this and the sound teaching will help you find truth.

Stay there for while and see how it goes. Try to go to an after church get together and get to know folks.

Lol sorry I thought you were reffering to something else with my first statement-   my mistake.

For me right now for me Im leaning towards the Pentecostal church I just seem to feel more at-home there.   Any red flags with Pentecostsls I should consider?

I would firstly add my voice to the chorus ruling out the Mormon fellowship. Whilst there are many disagreements within the Christian church, Mormonism disagrees with Christianity at such a fundamental level as to be considered a non-Christian cult - i.e. a belief system that sounds similar to Christianity (even using the Bible), but is, at its core, a different belief system.

This is not to suggest you must abandon established relationships with Mormons (unless specifically directed by God) - but the Mormon belief cannot be placed in a position of influence over your Christian faith - as they are not Christians according to Biblical doctrine. That is, the Mormon members are probably mostly sincere, well-meaning people; however, the belief itself is a deception away from the Gospel of Christ.

Pentecostalism is not a denomination, but a general descriptor of belief. Simply put, Pentecostal Christians that believe the gift of tongues is available to every Christian. Different Pentecostal churches can have as much doctrinal variation between them as any two groups of Christians - though all Pentecostals, by definition, agree on this one point.

A common complaint against Pentecostals is that they can focus too heavily on spiritual experiences - and thereby neglect the importance of studying scripture. In my experience, this is sometimes true, but there are also many, very good Bible-focused Pentecostal fellowships.

In your above quote you say you "just seem to feel more at-home" at one of the options. I'd consider that a good indicator of God's direction - at-least until otherwise led by His Spirit.

Yes I know pray and I have alot.  Either God wants me to figure it out myself or Im just blind / stubborn and can't see the answers hes giving me....... Likely the latter sadly.

Not by yourself . . . because God wants us to share and care as family in Jesus. 

So - - - discover which people help you, and maybe with them see what you can do . . . maybe in a home group or just making sure you share after church with the ones who are good for you. They can be in a church with others who are even just plain wrong. So, you will need to be able to love and care for and pray for ones who turn out to not be right. Jesus wants us to develop in loving any and all people . . . right?

But make sure you share with the ones who help you. These can be in different churches. And the real ones will honor you to evaluate and make sure about them and others.

You can test leaders, but it is possible the mature ones in a church will be sitting in the back of the church; and they might be mentoring the ones up front.
