Cronos,

I believe all the 8 points you enumerated.

Sounds like basic Christian doctrine to me.

But I am not a member of a “sect” or “movement” or “denomination”.

Just a Bible reader.

When I was a young Christian, I encountered a verse I didn’t understand. I brought it to the preacher, and he asked, “Are you going to live that verse today?”

I asked, “How can I live it if I don’t even understand it?” I was hoping he would give me an explanation.

Instead he said, “Then focus on living the verses that you do understand, and if you manage to do that, perhaps the Lord will open your eyes to understand some of the deeper mysteries.”

Best advice I ever got.

[Notwithstanding]

Many people fall into the trap of self-sects, as you describe your own practices. Your choice is a gross and self-centered perversion.

While you CAN get some things right this way, it is NOT the way prescribed by God Himself.

Westbrook: I believe all the 8 points you enumerated.

Thanks Westbrook, though, I asked the question to metmom and Hoss, though they don't answer it for some reason -- strange, when as you pointed out, this is basic Christian doctrine, right?

The reason I asked Met and Hoss this is because once when one asked them which church they belonged to, it was refused as a "personal question" -- strange, considering this is a religion forum

I had asked others too, and Christians such as yourself, whichever be their denomination, have no problem in saying they believe in the 8 points (they are, as you point out, basic Christian doctrine). The problem is that we do have a few leftists (like Hankkerchief) who have posed as Christians and just aim to get Christians to fight. Hankkerchief finally admitted to being a communist, but after he had done a lot for the left's aim of getting Christians fighting with each other

Just to repeat -- as you correctly point out, the 8 points are basic Christian doctrine

Tell us, hoss, metmom, what does your group believe in?

1. Does your group believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

2. Does your group believe in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Son of God, Eternally Begotten of the Father, begotten, not made, ONE in being with the Father, through whom all things was made

3. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, was born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit. That God truly became human in Jesus Christ.
   
   
4. Does your group believe as we Christians do, that Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God or does your group believe that He was a spirit or ghost

5. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried or does your group believe that Jesus was not crucified or died, but was spirited away?
   
   
6. Does your group believe that for our sake Jesus Christ our Lord, God and Savior rose again in fulfilment of the scriptures?

7. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, ascended into heaven?

8. Does your group believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life? Who is Lord and God and worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son?
