That was a very good post, you covered the core of things in it.
This is such a curious discussion. How many of the words of the Bible do you have to follow to consider yourself a Christian? If all, then how can there be different faiths? If not all, then which are not needed? Which denominations are Christians? Lutherans? Episcopalians? Christian Scientists? Jehovah’s Witnesses? Rastifarians? Is it sufficient to confess the Christ to consider yourself Christian? Or do you have to confess a specific Christ? How specific does it have to be? Who keeps the canonical list of Christian faiths?
