The purest form of Christianity is that which takes the Bible only for its guide, and strives to act like Jesus would in every situation.

The truest form of Christianity would be the one that which is based on the true teachings of Jesus. But, that is not possible, since those teachings have all either been destroyed, or hidden, and not yet found again. When, these writings finally do again come to light, there will be a lot of really surprised fundies running around. They will not know what to do, so they will do everything they can to either discredit or destroy them.

That's a tough question for me. I think it's probably Catholicism and/or Orthodoxy, at least in principle. But in practice, both those forms of Christianity are pretty corrupt. Maybe a better practical expression of Christianity is the Mennonites.

I'm not too keen on 'Bible only' Christianity -- it's not very biblical.

That would be the Church founded by Jesus Christ, the only Church ever authorized by Him, the one to which He said "the Holy Spirit will guide you to all truth", the one to which He said "whatsoever you bind upon earth is bound in heaven", the one to which He said "I will be with you until the end of time", the only Church which can trace its beginnings to apostolic times, and claim Jesus Christ as its founder, the only Church that teaches the fullness of Christian truth, the Church to which the Scriptures were given and the only Church that can interpret them authoritatively, the Holy Catholic Church. Christ never intended any other to exist. We know that because He said so.

I'll vote for Calvinism. Complete, total focus on God, the author and finisher of salvation. Soli Deo Gloria!

Below will show you what "True and False Religion" is.

What is false religion?

Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.

False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?

False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?

False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

How to identify true religion.

True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.

True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible

True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”

True Religion is available, search for it.

I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are doing their best to immitate Jesus Christ. Not perfectly, mind you, but better than any group I have ever come in contact with.

To be conformed to the image of Christ in character and power.

I could argue either of Orthodox Catholic or Roman Catholic, and do so effectively.
