If you trust in Catholicism, you’re Catholic.

If you trust in Lutheranism, you’re Lutheran.

If you trust in Mormonism, you’re Mormon.

If you trust in Christ, you’re a Christian.

Well then, if you trust science, you must be a Scientologist!

Amen, mm. The name "Christian" has been hi-jacked by those who follow another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit. God knows who are His and whose name are written in the Book of Life. I will not let my joy in being a Christian be made of no effect because the meaning has been taken over by those who set about to deceive.

It means what it says: You're a Christian if you trust in Christ. Thank you!

>>If you trust in Christ, you’re a Christian.<<

No rituals, no long term indoctrination, and no co-redeemer or stand in for Christ on earth. Just a heartfelt belief and trust in the complete and finished price Jesus paid for our salvation.

Evangelicalism is truncated Christianity.
