I've taken the idea from the question from Pangel.
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...
So I thought I'd reverse it.

That there is a single God who created the world and all that is in it. That man was his most favored creation, but lost perfection when they broke His commandment not to eat from the Tree of Life, and were cast out of paradise to live and die like other mortal creatures.
That God sent His child to redeem all men of this original sin, and that all who accept His sacrifice will be "saved." (To be honest, I'm still not certain what form salvation is supposed to take, since some sects have the concept of grace--that is, you can't ever count on getting into heaven, no matter how good you are--and some believe that as long as you are a Christian and live a good life, then you're assured a place there, and still other sects have yet other interprtations.)
That those who honor or worship other gods are at best misguided, and at worst evil.
Anything else I know would be specific to one denomination or another--this is all I know that applies to the majority of Christians.

I'm not a witch or Wiccan, but I am a pagan, so I thought maybe I qualified to answer this. I actually know very weel what Christians believe, because I was one for many years, and it was not the teachings that turned me away from Christianity, it was just the way that they were interpreted, and the double standards of the people I used to worship with. Took me quite some time to move on from that. I hope your experience of it is better than mine was.

Well since I live in a predominantly Christian society, I obviously have a fairly good idea concerning what Christians believe.
I'm fine with what most Christians believe. I mean sometimes I wish some of those fundamentalists would stop taking their mythological texts as historical fact, but otherwise I have no objection to Christianity. After all, when you push back the technicalities of religion and the specific deities and such, you'll find that they basically all have the same roots in faith.

Which sect?
There are some fundamental beliefs about sin, Jesus, heaven, salvation but then again there are different Christian takes on many other doctrines and biblical interpretation and exegesis and traditions.
So perhaps you should be more specific. The poster of the previous question could also be more specific about pagans.

Well in general, they believe the Bible, either interpretively or literally like my grandma does. They believe in the Holy Trinity and that Jesus is their savior, and the only way to get to heaven is to ask Jesus for forgiveness and accept him into your heart.

They believe that Jesus is God/God's son and that he rose from the dead three days later. Through his death and Crucifixion he gave grace and forgiveness for those who seek it through him, and only him.
Many of us practiced it. How many Christians can say the same for us?
