Don’t most Christians believe they’re Biblical?

As a Biblical Christian myself I would like all Christians to be Biblical Christians, but sorry to say many are not. It depends on how much authority you place on the word of God. Is it the sole & final authority on matters of faith or do you also rely on traditions,liturgy, and extra biblical writings. One onside you have the Catholics who are strong on traditions, liturgy, and use the word of God. On the other are Biblical Christians who only use the word of God with no liturgy, traditions or extra biblical revelation. In the middle are the mainline Protestant churches who lean toward the Bible but still also rely on their traditions, and liturgy(ie Lutherans, Anglicans,Methodist, etc. Hope that helps

1)Belives in the deity of Christ.
2)Believes that Christ came down in the flesh, dwelt among us, died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the grave to sit at the right hand of God the Father.
3)That the word of God (Bible) is totally reliable and the final authority in matters of faith. No extra-biblical revelation is needed.
4)That we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And that by faith and repentance we are totally justified by what Christ did on the cross.
