Christological definitions have been around for 1700 years

So what???

You don't believe in the Christian God as decreed in Nicea, you don't approve of the Theotokos, you don't believe in the Eucharist. If you don't mind me asking, just what makes you Christian?

Jesus Christ does...There's absolutely nothing I, you, or anyone else could do to become a Christian, a member of the Body of Christ, the church...

I've seen the Catholic literature and the personal posts that claim you Catholics are going to end up at the Great White Throne Judgment with the confidence that you've done enough good to pass the test...

I've already passed the test...Jesus stamped an A on my paper and I didn't even have to take the test...I'm good to go...

Probably won't get much in the way of rewards...I'm running the race for the rewards but I stumble over the hurdles quite a bit...

Jesus will save you, and give you assurance if you ask him...

You can call yourself whatever you wish. However, most would say if you don’t believe Jesus is God, you aren’t a Christian.

The difference between Christian and non Christian.

You don't believe in the Christian God as decreed in Nicea, you don't approve of the Theotokos, you don't believe in the Eucharist. If you don't mind me asking, just what makes you Christian?

Jesus Christ does...There's absolutely nothing I, you, or anyone else could do to become a Christian, a member of the Body of Christ, the church...

If you don't believe in the Jesus Christ of Christianity, then what makes you less of a non Christian than the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses?

I've already passed the test...Jesus stamped an A on my paper and I didn't even have to take the test...I'm good to go...

Not even Paul 'knew' that he was saved. I guess that you are extra special.

Probably won't get much in the way of rewards...I'm running the race for the rewards but I stumble over the hurdles quite a bit...

So, eternal salvation is not enough for you guys? You are looking for rewards like a seal doing tricks at Sea World and getting herring? It says that the eternal reward of men is that they will be in the presence of Almighty God forever, not that they will be fed herring out of a bucket.

It gets rather nuts when non Christians attempt to apply Christian terms to their theology.

Really? You are not to believe?

Jesus says

Nothing? you don't have to repent, believe and endure to the end as Jesus Christ said?

your post is filled with the pride that we were warned about. if one does not first have to repent and believe, then why are you wasting your time on this forum? If there are those who are not in the brahmin caste, then aren't your posts just taunts?
