believe, Jesus is God in the Flesh that came as the Son of God and was crucified, dead and buried for the atonement of sins, and on the 3rd day He arose, then He ascended into Heaven, and is now sitting on the right hand of the Father, later to return for the rapture of the Church.
If everyone believes the above but goes off a bit in the interpretations such as women should not wear pants, cut their hair, or wear jewely and makeup, must be baptized in water and not sprinkled, observe footwashing, Sabbath should be on Saturday not Sunday etc. would you be able to accept if the basic beliefs listed above are the same? if so, why and why not.

Daisy, old girl. You have a zeal for knowledge; but not according to the Truth.
Edit: Do you REALLY want to know the Truth? Or are just offended and want further assert what YOU have accepted as truth?
One of you answerers asks:
"I was just wondering how it is you think Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father. If as your first line said "Jesus was God in the Flesh?"
Do these people study their bibles; or do they just use them as paper weights?
(And these are your childrens mothers mind you. Supposedly entrusted to raise up good, acceptable girls and boys in the sight of God. Your country is in SAD shape.)
The "Hebrew" writer wrote:
Hebrews 1:1-3
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Then she goes on to say:
"For me I always love Mark chapter 7 It talks allot about people holding on to the traditions of men. And by doing this they are setting aside the commandments of God. "
I GIVE UP.

I was a little unsure if you understood what it was that I was trying to say. With the scriptures that you pointed to that is what my point was. "The Son is the appointed heir of all things and the reflection of his Fathers glory." If he is appointed then who appointed him? God, thats who. My point was that she said Jesus was God in the Flesh. Jesus Is Gods son not God himself. That is how he is sitting at the right hand of God the Father.
My point with Tradition is that thinking that "Jesus is God" is a Tradition that has been past down. It was in know way what Jesus taught when he was on earth. He said in more then one scipture that he was hear to do the will of" his father".

The problem goes much deeper. You wont find anyone "a bit off." They are usually a whole bunch off. For example, you mention Sabbath should be on saturday, not sunday which would be seventh day adventist. Thats only one of hundreds of problems with their faith. You have to determine if these out there faiths are biblical. if so , you should worship with them. If you dont believe saturday sabbath is biblical how are you going to worship with them? If that were the onlydifference but it goes much , much, much deeper.

Your right!-- if you have been born-again, then you are a part of the Body of Christ (The Church) and are Spiritually connected to everybody else in the world who is born-again.

The Bible is clear salvation is the prerequisite to being a christian. All these other things are incidental. if your saved you are my brother or sister in Christ.
