Further more I believe God will support you where you are right and forgive you where you are wrong, just as He supports me where I am right and give me forgiveness where I am wrong. God has given us the freedom to both be wrong, so long as we both keep seeking the truth, and do not become luke warm in our beliefs.
Ultimatly what makes one 'Christian' is whether or not God Judges you saved.
I worship the God of the bible and not the god of popular christianity. I have constructed a vision of the God of the bible by only using what the bible says He is like. In some areas we agree and in others we do not.
Does it make me more Christian and someone else less? No not at all.
Drich's split personality disorder (or as they probably call it in his household, his "inner holy trinity") would seem to be the only way to make sense of this. Christians were never instructed by God to limit their understanding of him through the Bible alone (that would be the demands of the Church, which Drich also submits to the Bible without hint of irony) nor does the Bible offer a single clear interpretation from which to reach a decisive conclusion about the nature of God and Jesus, as hordes of Christians make hilariously obvious.
Sorry for the confusion. The simple answer is that one can not be a Christian if he does not follow The teachings of Christ. While God is the ultimate and final judge over which of us are indeed Christian, Christ Himself says we shall know each other by judging the 'fruit' we produce. To judge 'Fruit' is to use the bible as a standard, as the bible indentifies the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. (The only evidence of a Christian.) If one does not adhear to scripture then one can not be a follower of the God of the bible.
