NO!

1.Saved by Faith, not Works

2.The Bible is the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

3.God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the Doctrine of the "Trinity"

4.Jesus was both fully God and fully man

5.Literal Return of Christ


You become a Christian by.

1. Realize there is no one that is good

[Ro 3:10] As it is written:

"There is no one righteous, not even one;

The bible states that no one on earth is righteous or perfect. We all have

faults, we all are in sin, and all need to repent.



2. See yourself as a sinner

[Ro 3:23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

No one is good enough to go to Heaven on their own merit or will. No matter

how much good we do, we all fall short of Gods glory.



3. Notice God's price on sin

[Ro 6:23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life

in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There is punishment for wrong. The penalty for all our sins is eternal death

and separation from God in a place that the bible calls Hell.



4. Believe that Christ died for you and that He arose again from the dead

[Ro 5:8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still

sinners, Christ died for us.

God's great love for us was shown when he sent his Son Jesus Christ to die

on the cross to pay our sin debt



5. Take God at his Word

[Ro 10:13] for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

[Ro 10:9] That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe

in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For

it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your

mouth that you confess and are saved. [11] As the Scripture says, "Anyone

who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

I will debate anyone defending such a damming religious cult.
Just to provide a starting point, your definition of Christians stands as the following:

A Christian...
  1. Accepts Jesus Christ as their savior.
  2. Believes that Jesus is divine.
  3. Believes the Bible is the inerrant word of God.
  4. Does not believe that men can become gods.

Forgive me if I've misrepresented what you've said. I'm sincerely trying to lay it out in simple terminology. For instance, "authority of scripture" might not mean an inerrant Bible, but I'm guessing from your background, that is the case.

As for the last item, I suspect that comes from a more basic requirement like: Holds no theology that is not Biblically justified. Is that the case? Can we just replace the last item with that more basic requirement?

Is there anything else that should be on the list?

This may feel like I'm trying to debate you from within the proposal. I'm not. I just want to nail down a term that is all important to your resolution.
