“Let’s see if he answers the questions. Inquiring minds want to know.”
I’m a Christian, that’s the sum total of my answer.
You’re questions are an attempt to “divide by definition” in a very unsavory way. As in Animal Farm, in which some animals were more equal than others, questions such as yours attempt to identify the “more equal” band of Christians. Sorry, but I won’t play. I’ll call you out on your specific beliefs where I feel they are wrong (e.g., creationism), but I won’t wear the tenets of my devout Christian faith on a sandwich board for you to critique.

And that is precisely what I’m doing with you. You are obviously worried that someone will cease to listen to your message if you reveal your true beliefs.
You see, I don’t mind telling you exactly what I believe and wearing my faith as a badge of honor because I am convinced. The only reason I might hide my true beliefs is if I were either ashamed of them or if I wanted to hide them for some other prupose. ie: to pull others in slowly. It’s what many cults do. They preach Jesus and Christianity straight up then after they draw you in they reveal their “other” beliefs. Always something extra to “sweeten” what God is “truly” offering.
I’m not convinced of which is true with you. I just know it’s one or the other.
