All of Christianity has one thing in common, and it really is all that matters, everything else is icing on the cake. What is that one thing?

Remember------ Not everyone who calls themself a Christian is. Also not every religion that claims to be Christian is.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Jesus Christ, our Savior is the "common denominator" of All Christianity.

Maybe the use of the names in the Bible? I don't see anything that I can point to to say that anyone who calls themself a Christian all think a certain way. I have met too many people. They all disagree on too many things.
Is Jesus God? The Mormons have a meaning for Jesus being God that I don't have, and the Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists would say something different.
What does God want from us? I would say trust, but the Legalists in Christianity, i.e. the Fundamentalists say you have to try to be perfect. So there is disagreement there.
Is God three persons as in the Trinity? I would say that the Trinity offers a certain perspective into the nature of God, but the Roman Catholics think that you must accept God as THE TRINITY , or suffer Purgatory of even Hell as a heretic.
Is the Bible the Inerrant word of God? I've heard certain Fundamentalists claim that it was. But I wouldn't say so. I am completely satisfied with the Bible being the Inspired word of God. It's good enough for me. For me, the Inerrant Word of God is now with the Father in heaven. He is Jesus Christ.

Agape love is the one constant.
Love brought Christ to earth to die for our sins.
In Galatians 5:13-15
13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
So, love is the one constant thing.

The fact that Jesus is God's son, and was sent to earth to die on the cross for our sins, so that we may have eternal life. (pretty much John 3:16)

The belief that morality is irrelevant because Jesus is going to let you into heaven no matter how evil your actions are in life.

The faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we can be forgiven for our sins. We have love and faith in Jesus.
