What religious beliefs are shared by both liberal Christians and conservative Christians?

Question

.

Answer 1

most Christian beliefs are held by both Liberal Christians and by Conservative Christians.
It is my experience however, that Conservative Christians don't put their beliefs into action. They quote scripture instead. Liberal Christians may know less about scripture, but are kinder to their fellow man (the true teaching of Christ)

Answer 2

Conservative Christianity, (also called Traditional Christianity) is a descriptive term applied to a number of Protestant and Roman Catholic groups or movements. Generally those seen as belonging to conservative Christianity give priority to traditional values and traditional beliefs and practices. It is sometimes called conservative theology—is an umbrella term covering various movements within Christianity and describing both corporate denominational and personal views of scripture. They may be Protestants, Roman Catholics, or independents. It is often contrasted with Liberal Christianity.

As is true of most groups sharing a distinctive ideology or theology, identity, values, norms, and a common culture, each group or Christian denomination falls somewhere on a continuum usually labeled "conservative" at one extreme (sometimes described as the "right") and "liberal" at the other (sometimes described as the "left"), with "moderate" or "centrist" at roughly the midpoint. These are relative terms: what is considered "conservative" by one person or group may be rated "liberal" by others. Therefore, stereotypical descriptions at best are generalizations and are not accurate descriptions of "all" who consider themselves to be either Conservative Christians or Liberal Christians.

It is often said that Conservative Christianity and Liberal Christianity are polar opposites, though many liberal Christians would not agree. There is general agreement that their biblical hermeneutical methods are quite different.

Significant points of divergence include the authority and importance of the Bible, literal or metaphorical interpretation of scripture, divinity of Jesus Christ and reality of his resurrection from the dead, need for organized missionary work and personal sharing one's beliefs in salvation through Jesus Christ, and the view of women in both marriage and ministry.


Liberal Christianity, sometimes called liberal theology, is an umbrella term covering diverse, philosophically-informed religious movements and moods within late 18th, 19th and 20th century Christianity. The word "liberal" in liberal Christianity does not refer to a leftist political agenda or set of beliefs, but rather to the freedom of dialectic process associated with continental philosophy and other philosophical and religious paradigms developed during the Age of Enlightenment.

Answer 3

That there is a God. That God has a Son that we call Jesus. Thru God's Son salvation is possible for any willing to accept, believe and follows His teaching.

If you get out further than that - going to have a variety of views. Some believe in one cup only shared by all for communion - others individual ok. Some think unleavened bread alone for communion - some use saltine crackers. Even baptism will get a variety of views - some believe that sprinkling is ok, others go with full immersion - some even don't think that you have to follow that teaching found within scripture.

Answer 4

Well, by definition, all Christians believe in God and Jesus Christ, of course. Liberals want the church to change, conservatives want it to stay the same. All believe in heaven and hell. All believe in creationism. Although some liberals want to fit evolution in somewhere. All believe in the ten commandments. To name a few.

Answer 5

Honestly, I don't believe many. Because liberal Christians are for things like abortion and gay "marriage". Consevative Christians absolutely are NOT. They differ so much, that sometimes you wonder if we're even practicing the same faith. It all comes down to your morals......

Answer 9

It varies doctrine by doctrine. And there is no agreement. If you interpret the Bible liberally you come out with vastly different outcomes in any category of doctrine there is.

Answer 10

Some agree on their choice of worship style (some like it contemporary and others are more of the traditional bunch of people). All agree that Jesus Christ saves. Outside of that, there is very little that we agree on.
