I sense that belief is about an acquired mindset or conscience or even a taste for the seeking of truth or discover the universe ....Does a baptized christian has the right and the free will to choose a new spiritual path, whether islam, Judaism, bouddhism, freemasonry, mystical spiritual, etc ....? and is someone christian for life ? or can he change belief at some point in his life?

Well according to the christians her on yahoo you'll go straight to hell if you change your beliefs so I think they want you to be christian for life.

Let's put it this way -- God gives you your faith, you don't take it. If you choose something else as the "truth", it's because God allowed this to happen, in which case you were never saved in the first place. That said, I can't say where you're going to end up, that's up to God. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and his sheep know His voice. They're going to stay His, and neither will Jesus turn anyone away that comes to him, or rather is sent to him by the Father.

Freemasonry is NOT a religion or a spiritual path. It is a fraternal organization that requires its members to believe in a Supreme Being without defining what or who that being is.

A true Christian believes in Christ... Jesus Christ. He is always free to choose another religion or faith, but he looses his salvation if he does so knowingly.
The rules and laws are all laid out in the Holy Bible... all one has to do is "read" it! Why some people find that so hard to do, I'll never know!
God never changes... man does! So don't listen to "man", see what God has to say... read the Bible and decide for yourself?

People always have freedom to choose. You can change your mind at any time. Not that it's always a good idea....
