Answer 1

I do not believe that a Christian has to be baptised either by water or by the baptism of the holy spirit to be considered saved. Otherwise, I believe in everthing else you stated.

Two more things I want to add: that there is no other way to the Father than by the son. And, although Jesus did die for the sins of the world, one must repent and accept Him as savior to be saved.

I attend a nondenominational church. P.S. for the person below....did you know Jesus said, unless you be born again, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answer 2

1. Believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior
I do
2. Believe Jesus is the Son of the Living God
I do
3. Believe Jesus was crucified, dead, buried and rose again and paid a blood atoning price for our sins for all mankind to restore fellowship with God the Father through His righteousness alone
I do...although not necessarily in that precise order
4. Believe Jesus is the Messiah
I do
5. Baptism by water
I do...with the caveat that I really don't think God has an angel posted at the gate to Heaven to check to see if you got wet or not, or how wet you got. In other words, while baptism is the public declaration of your new status as a child of God, it is not a requirement of salvation. Rather, one is baptized because one is saved, not in order to "get saved."
6. Baptism of Holy Spirit
There is only ONE Lord, ONE faith, and yes, boys and girls, only ONE Baptism.
7. Believe you must be born again, spiritually via Holy Spirit
There is no such thing as a Christian who has not been born again, nor any such thing as a Christian who has not been sealed by the Holy Spirit. To think otherwise is only human pride.
8. Believe in the original sin of Adam/Eve
I believe in original sin.
9. The Bible is the inspired Word of God
I do
10. Die and then the judgment - heaven or hell
I do...with the caveat that hell is nothing more than the grave, and will eventually be destroyed as it says in Revelation.

OH, yes. I believe that there is only one God. I call Him, Jesus, because that is His English name, although it would also be correct to call Him Joshua or Y'shua.

I would tell you my denomination, if I had one.
I'm just a plain ol' Christian, although I am thinking of calling myself a Disciple of Christ, or a Follower of the Way, or some other name that glorifies Christ without identifying me with the bizarre madness that the church on earth has become.
Truthfully, organized religion scares the starch right out of my jeans.....

Answer 3

Messianic Jew

all of the above-and I believe in the Mikvah-water baptism and also the baptism of the Holy Spirit at salvation and the gift of speaking in tounges

I go to Messianic services, Charismatic Catholic, baptist and Assembly of God and non believing Jewish synagogues and temples, as well as anywhere else i can witness JW MORMON AND EVEN OCCULT SERVICES As Jesus leads me.

Answer 4

I'm Catholic.

1. Yes, but not as a Personal Savior, but as a Savior of all of us.
2. Yes
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. Yes.
7. No!
8. Yes.
9. Yes.
10. Yes.

Why do Protestants think Catholics aren't Christians if most of these are the same?

Answer 5

Sheila/40/F/married/3 kids

Church of Christ/ Follower of Christ/ to be as "Christ like" as I can.

Specifically (#5)...baptism by EMERSION, not simply "sprinkling". There is no example of sprinkling in the Bible; only emersion.

But, yes, the rest is pretty much what christians believe.

How come it's ok to be any "religion" other than Christianity?

Answer 6

Im a Christian and I believe all of those things. I dont think it is a REQUIREMENT to be baptized by the Holy Spirit. Emphasizing speaking in tounges. A lot of churches state that as a requirement to be a Christian. I believe not everyone will recieve spiritual gifts such as healing, prophecy, or speaking in tounges. I believe its available to those who seek a deeper relationship. But not a requirement.

Answer 7

I believe all of the above.

Denominations are:

CMA, Four Square, Assembly of God, Baptist, and New Life.

Ultimately, nondenominational. I read the Bible and go to churches that preach the Bible. Does not matter to me, so long as they are in line with the Bible.

Answer 8

I believe all the above. Non-Denominational since to practice such things is forbidden by Christ. Also believe that the churches need to return to house church as per the teaching, tradition and practice of Jesus Christ and the apostles.

Answer 9

Yes, I believe in all of that. Although if people don't speak in tongues or haven't gotten baptized yet, it doesn't mean they're not "saved" Also I believe if you want to have great rewards here on earth and great rewards in heaven, you need to follow G-d's laws according to your ability and teach others about
G-d's laws and obedience to those laws as well. Especially to your children. Obeying these laws come out of a heart of love for G-d.

Answer 10

1-4 Yes
5. Not necessary for salvation. Just an outward sign.
6-10 yes.

I'm a non-denominational Bible believing Christian.
