Tithing: I tithe sometimes, sometimes I don't. I don't have a set percent, at times it may be 40%, at times it may be nothing.
I don't believe it's a biblical command. If I have it right the tithe was to pay the temple taxes and such. I feel we SHOULD support our church as much as possible, but if someone's down and out there's no way anybody should tell them they must.
As far as getting baptized, it does look like a commandment, and always follows belief in Christ. Why don't you feel you're ready for it? Only God know the state of your salvation, and obviously if someone can be saved on their deathbed or physically cannot be baptized the bible doesn't say if affects their salvation, Christ is who saves through his blood.
Now, your first commandment after you believe appears to be "be baptized". It would seem like a pretty shakey commitment if one is hestitant about obeying this.
Are you perhaps working your way up to total belief? Sometimes it can be a while coming, I know because I've been there.
I'm not trying to be nosey, I'm just curious. More to come after your reply to this.
