Unfortunately. But denying and denouncing Him makes you an anti-Christian which, according to the Bible, has SERIOUS consequences.

Yes, you can believe in Christ and still be an anti-Christian. Christ taught wonderfully as a man, lessons that if all people actually followed, then being a Christian would be a truly wonderful thing. However, since people have free will, they choose to do hurtful things. This includes Christians. Though I am a Christian, I am also a History and Religion teacher and I am appauled at the horrific things people have said and done in the course of history in the name of their religion- Christians included. There are over 500 different Christian religions that only differ in one or two ideas of how to worship or pray or where tohold services. None of these things has anything to do with what Jesus said or did or taught. So, believe in Christ, follow his teachings, and He will be your guide in life. Christ is important, not Christians!

Yes. The devils believe there is a God and Jesus is the Anointed One. They confessed it on the earth.
The devils are antichrist. Because they still don't make Jesus Christ their Lord (Commitment to trust & obey Jesus Christ). But the devils know there is a God and Jesus is the Christ.
Christians can be against other Christians when they don't realize who they are in Christ. Once born of God, one is made in the righteousness of Christ. One can't become more or less righteous, because God sees the righteousness of Christ.
But some Christians try to be more righteous, so they make rules & try to be those things, when other Christians don't do what they think are judgmental against the other Christian who don't agree with them.
My Pastor has been preaching on who we are in Christ. When we judge others on whether they are doing things we think we should do to be righteous, it is self-righteousness and not Christ righteousness.

If you have truly believed that Christ died for your sins then the Holy Spirit put you into His body and you become a member of His body which is the church. 1 Corinthians 12: 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12: 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. The Holy Spirit seals you unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4: 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. If that has really happen to you how can you be anti-christian? Not possible. Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6: 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Yep. You're very much like Ghandi- Love the Christ, but not so much the Christians.

The answer is no. It's contradictory, my dear. Think about the law of non-contradiction: Can two opposite statements both be true at the same time in the same sense?
Here's something for you to ponder.... A self-evident principle is one that cannot be denied without assuming that it's true in the process of the denial. It's self-defeating if you have to assume that a statement is true to deny it - it then becomes undeniable.

I believe so, but that would be considered worshipping the devil. In this aspect you believe in Christ and the bible, but choose to worship Lucifer instead of Christ. That brings up the question of "would that make you the anti-Christ?" Food for thought I guess.

I am a Jew------but, this question has an interesting viewpoint.
I do believe a person can believe in Christ, and be so disgusted with these holier than thou Evangelical Christians that it does make them anti-Christian.

A "Christian" is someone who FOLLOWS Christ, not just believes. The demons believe what he did.

I believe in what Christ did, and all his followers should try to be like him even getting nailed to the cross part.
