Can you still be considered a Christian if you:
- were raised loosely Christian (rarely went to church but still raised on Christian beliefs/prayers/ideals/etc)
- Believe in God absolutely
- Think the Bible is a good moral guide but don’t think it’s anything more than just a book (e.g. don’t consider it holy)
- believe there was a Jesus of Nazareth 2020ish years ago, give or take a few decades, but are on the fence about whether he was actually the son of God or just some dude.
- still don’t go to church
genuinely curious. asking for a friend.
If not, what would you call that? “quasi-Christian”? I’ve heard some people call it “agnostic” but I was always taught that agnostic meant you were on the fence about whether or not you believed in God, not the other details.
The Nicene Creed determines what is a Christian or not…
Your fourth point disqualifies you.
You’re a deist most definitely and probably some kind of universalist or sometimes called perennialist who believes all religions to some degree have correct teachings about God and believes moral living and love for God will be enough for salvation is my guess.
