Because of all the negativity and stereotypes, misconceptions, and different meanings of the term Christianity, when people ask me about my beliefs i often just say that I believe in God and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Is this wrong?

Whatever you believe just say it for what it is and from there a dialog can begin. From there you and the various people you interact with can move your conceptions hopefully closer to the truth.
You as must others be sincerely willing to re-examine your beliefs. Sometimes we become unduly influenced by organizations, texts, and or sub-cultures. Never forget to question and think for yourself.
If you love the truth and sincerely search for it I believe you will continue to find pieces of the puzzle on your spiritual journey through life, and at other points throw back pieces you once thought fit.

Not at all - you have all the right to believe what you want - but not show it down others throats... Also hopefully you could be open minded about other peoples beliefs too... No body is superior to any body - all are equal on earth after all we all are in the game of survival.... No body knows what id right and what is wrong - All is belief... Belief could be right or wrong !

Not wrong, just incomplete.
The Demons believe in God too.
To follow christ, you have to do what he asked us to.
It.s all in your bible, but you need someone to show you where to look, and help you to understand it.
The help is absolutely free, and the home study is controlled by you and your time. No money is needed.

Problem is what EXACTLY did Jesus say?
They wrote the bible decades or more after his death. Do you believe every word written in the bible or do you take it with a grain of salt, and interpret it as a whole?
Good work by the way having independant beliefs.

That is great.
It's better not to recruit because it is the Father who calls people.
God does not need salesmen. The kingdom will arrive on this planet no matter how many believe or do not believe.

No, this is not wrong. In fact, it sounds to me that you are on the right track to heaven. You need not give anyone any more of an explanation unless it is a preacher that is asking you and he is asking you for a specific reason, such as membership in a church.

There is only one religion, to love God, the Supreme Being. All those external designations are man-made. If you become pure lover of God, you are perfectly religious person. It is not important how we call ourselves, the point is that we must become perfectly pure lovers of God.

That is the correct way to say that you love the Lord OUR God.

What could be wrong about that? That's just telling it like it is and think it's great.

Of course not! And it's smart, in my humble opinion, because it separates you from the politics of the church.
