But only so far as all Christ centered worship is centered around the one true God.How strange that in such a narrowly focused exemption - you just happen to fall in the exempt group that would otherwise seem to allow for a great many more people to be under the tent of the divine.
If the deity of Christ is denied then the worship does not count.
Attonement is not required for one to be christian. One can imagine that there are believing christians who will indeed -not- be saved because, for example, they live in a state of perpetual and unrepentent sinfulness. They believe, but they do not commit. Just as easily it can be and is said that all will recieve such attonement by belief, regardless of any other circumstance. I don't think it has any effect on the exemption offered whatsoever. For all I know (and all you know)..the details of the exemption and attonement are what you are doing wrong in the first place - and would be covered by whatever exemption may exist which you have miscommunicated to me(or have had miscommunicated to you), as a mouthpeice of the almighty.
There are, of course, faiths that do not deny the deity of christ (it may even be central to their faith), but would not, with any likelihood......be called "christian" -by you-. I assume that their non-christian worship counts, what with recognizing the divinity of christ and simply worshiping the wrong way, eh (not that we aren't well on our way to showing how transparently vacuous this exemption actually is by piling on condition after condition...as we will most certainly be doing - I just wanted to lend you my shovel)?
