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?
What a curious post, it seems that you would have addressed it to the many posters who are discussing the topics you raised, the posters discussing the theological questions that you seem curious about.
My post 73 is related to a portion of your question, I don’t think that you are reading the thread.
See my prior posts. Among other posters who have explained it repeatedly. Core beliefs. You believe the same thing and it unites you under a common banner. Little details are irrelevant.
But believing you will one day be a God is not consistent with any of the denominations you mentioned. It is a core belief apart by orders of magnitude.
The Devil days something similar. Should we consider Satanists Christian too? Yes or no please.
Isn’t this a little like trying to define when a ‘republican’ is just a RINO?
