7. Isaac Newton...firmly believed in Jesus Christ as his Savior and the Bible as God's word, and wrote many books on these topics.

Actually, that statement is accurate. Newton was certainly not orthodox, and was definitely not a standard Trinitarian but he appeared to firmly believe in Jesus as the "Lamb" and "Messiah" and absolutely considered the Bible to be God's word. See link

Actually, it's not. And I like how you cast it - "not a standard Trinitarian", when you and I both know that denying the Trinity is heretical ;)

He also denied the divinity of Christ with his dying breath, refusing the last rites. Take a look at "Never at Rest" by Richard Westfall and "In the Presence of the Creator" by Gale Christianson sometime - very interesting books...
