Ok, I believe in God, I believe Jesus died for my sins, but I dont really believe in hell, and think the Bible was all messed up by man. I believe that God has given some people a gift to see into the future and tell what dreams mean, because I have that talent, just cant use it on myself for some odd reason. I have seen spirits and heard them. I believe in Demons, or really nast spirits whatever you wish to call them. so... what am I? yes, I will be the firdt to admit, I am a little crazy so you can save your breath there, be nice. :)

Probably the kindest word is 'gullible' - i.e. you haven't yet learned to use your critical thinking skills. This can be fixed. I was like that once, so I speak from experience.

You are:
Aware of the fact that religion is defined by belief, and not the other way round.
I never call myself Buddhist, not directly. I always go for 'predominantly' Buddhist, because I believe in parts of every religion I have come across.
I see the good in all, and if I share belief with it, then surely it is part of my identity.
Buddhism is just the label I use, because it is the closest and fullest match to my beliefs. Within Buddhism, I am (predominantly) Theravadin.
Although many would be forgiven for thinking I was Pagan. I've given up looking for the closest matching Pagan religion, rather just embracing the entirety.
I believe that everybody is like this to some degree. I don't think there is anyone who fully 100% believes their own religion and no other. But that is my own view, which I do not expect others to share.
So in a sense, I've got my paw in all the pies, and like that, I am learning quickly. I could even be described as a Christian through my actions, even though I am Atheistic in my beliefs (I do not believe in a God)
It's a point of interesting thought.
May peace follow you throughout
((((Cindy))))
EDIT: Wow. Just wow. Looking at all these answers saying that you are not Christian, and accusing you of calling God a liar. Surely these cannot be examples of the love that Jesus taught.
Your beliefs are YOUR beliefs. If they change, they change, but nobody has the automatic right to judge you by them and try to change them.
I would encourage you to forgive these people their ignorance, and love them more. They need that little extra love in their lives. I have already begun that by giving them thumbs up. It's the best I can do on here.

What you just said was that you believed in God, but not what He says. He's told you everything you need to know in His word. Find the oldest copy possible and compare it to the current for yourself and see how accurate it is. Parts of it may have been changed, but the entire message is still there.
How can you believe that demons and such are real, but not that they will go to hell? The word specificly says they were cast down and will be bound and tossed into the lake of fire. No offense, but why do you believe only part of what it says? You are rejecting the part you dont like? You dont believe it because you dont like it? Sorry, but if He says that's the way it is, that's the way it is, like it or not.
What are you? Confused, you've forgotten what you've read and learned, and have some how managed to warp it into something else entirely.

As for the hell thing...read the bible it has MANY PASSAGES describing that horrible place. And for everything else i would pray to God and make sure that u cast out those spirits or demons....they are NOT from God. And u are not crazy. God Bless and stick with the word and find a church.

Sounds like you are a Christian with the gifts of Discernment of Spirits and of Prophecy. Read 2 Corinthians 12-14.
BTW, there is a heaven and there is a hell.

You are an uninformed seeker. You say you believe Jesus died for your sins. Based on what? The Bible? The same Lord and same Bible that confirmed the existence of hell? You can't read the Bible and pick and choose what to believe. Without a firm foundation in the Word of God, these spirit entities are going to run you into the ground like they did in Acts 19:15. You are in a dangerous place, spiritually. Just enough of the gospel to ease your soul, but not enough to be strong in the faith.
You need to come to terms with the following scriptures...
Daniel 12:2 - And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Isa 66:24 - “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
Jesus confirmed Isaiah three times...
Mr 9:44 “where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’
Mr 9:46 “where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’
Mr 9:48 “where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’
...and described it as a dimension of darkness.
Matt 25:30 "...cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Jude 7 - suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Rev. 20:10&15 - And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire...and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

You are not a Christian. Christians don't call Christ a liar and by your words "(I) think the Bible was all messed up by man". that is what you are doing because He told us that "heaven and earth would pass away but His word would never pass away." This means we have His word or He lied.. I believe Him myself but you are free not to... You can bring you gifts with you but I invite you to come to Jesus. Except His love for you lean on Him and trust Him for salvation, all it takes is agreeing with Him about your life and asking Him to take away your sin.. IT is trustworthy and He WILL do it for you. He doesn't mind crazy people after all He made me His child... IHS Jim

sweetie , you are still Christian at heart
there are many like you who cant accept the literal translation of the bible
but who still believe in Jesus
and who also have had experiences they cant ignore
these experiences are real for them , and the bible speaks against such ... so it is understandable why the bible then becomes less true for them
you still hold many of the biblical teachings though in regards to demons etc
but please dont label yourself ... not right now anyway
you are still searching and trying to understand yourself
and crazy is good.... it is usually a must for seekers lol

Non-denominational Christian? Have you looked up gnosticism?
Anyway, if you can't find the answer, why stress? There is no term that accurately describes the way I believe either. It's ok if you don't have a religious label.
