For the purposes of the research, a biblical worldview was defined as believing that absolute moral truths exist; that such truth is defined by the Bible; and firm belief in six specific religious views. Those views were that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life; God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He stills rules it today; salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned; Satan is real; a Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people; and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

Using this definition, I absolutely have a biblical worldview.

Something that's puzzled me for a while is: How is it that other Christians don't share such fundamental beliefs?

That said, I'm sure I'll still be working on thinking like Jesus 'til the day I die ...

Study To Show Thyself Approved Unto God (2 Tim. 2:15)

Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.Acts 17:11

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge. Romans 10:1-4

All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16 cf Psalm 19:7; John 17:17; Revelation 22:18,19)

My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge – Hosea 4:6

Re:"and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings." Ah but the question is: which version of the Bible is accurate? What revision? Was it inaccurate before the first counsel of Nicea in 325, or did it become accurate after Constantine "requested" changes in 327. Or perhaps it accurate following Second Council of Nicea in 787 (Seventh Ecumenical Council)
Which books? Five major revisions to what we now consider the New Testament.
