'What is Christianity? 'When it gets to mere Christianity, the basics and fundamentals are rather few. All Christians agree on the basics and fundamentals. If they don't, they are not called Christians. ( . . . ) '[For example,] this is what separates Mormons from Christians. Mormons disagree on those fundamental issues and that is why they have to be called something other than Christian. ' . . . The fundamental truth claims of Christianity as a whole are rather basic. Christianity stands or falls on those things, and not on the parochial particulars. 'What are the fundamental truth claims of Christianity? 'The particulars of mere Christianity entail four basic things: '1. Your view of God , '2. your view of creation , '3. your view of man , and '4. your view of salvation .' ____________________ What is Christianity? by Gregory Koukl To read more go to: (http://www.str.org/free/commentaries/theology/whatis.htm) Grace to you, Radioman2 |

To me a definition of a Christian is as follows: Someone who believes in THE Lord Jesus Christ that He died for your sins He paid the penalty on the Cross and that he rose again on the third day. All others are doctrines, and can be disputed. I believe that you must believe when i say the Lord Jesus Christ. Thazt you must know he iws the son of God, He is God he was born of a virgin lived a sinless life, he bore our sins on the cross. According to the Bible their is no other belief that someone must have in order to be saved. Paul said I come knowing nothing but Christ and Him crucified. The problem with Orthodox christianity as a whole, Cults, other religions is that they say you must believe in other things than Christ and Him crucified. All other true doctrines are for awards in heaven false doctrines I believe will cause you to lose them. 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. They have nothing to do with Salvation or Christian, according to the bible has to do with awards. The Gospel message is so simple so perfect nothing needs to be added to it. |

You are not saying that as long as a person claims to believe in Jesus then he can believe anything else he wants to and still be saved, are you? Perhaps our problem in this thread is that we are both using some of the same words, but we do not agree on what those words mean or how they are defined. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Claim belief in the Jesus of the Bible and repented. then have false doctrines. Yes I am saying he is saved. I am not convinced on all the Orthdox Christian views. Do i state my salvation on that? No!, I Jesus is my salvation. I'm pretty sure when I get to the bema seat of Christ, I might get a few kicks I am sure that not everything I believe is actual truth. The only absolute truth I have is in the Lord Jesus Christ. In the book of Acts Peter thought that the gentiles was not going to get the gospel. He even said to Jesus "Lord, not so" Jesus didn't say don't call me Lord, or Peter you are not saved because this was one of my teaching for to go into all the nations and preach the gospel. Jesus did not say that. | ||||||
