The term Christianity seems to imply a religious system in the same way that Islam and Buddhism are religious systems. Within religious systems are core beliefs, along with codes, rules, and standards that must be mastered in order to achieve a desired end. Christianity does not fit that definition and therefore the term can be slightly misleading.

Jesus did not come into the world to start another religion. There were already plenty of religions (see Acts 17:22–23), including Judaism, which had begun as a relationship with Almighty God (Leviticus 20:12) but had deteriorated into another religious system on par with idol worship (Matthew 15:8). Jesus came to bear witness to the truth (John 18:37), to seek and to save the lost—those separated from God by their sin (Luke 19:10)—and to “give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:32). With that said, those who follow Christ do share some core beliefs.

Biblically speaking, Christians are those who are forgiven of their sins and who have entered a personal relationship with Almighty God through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10). In order to become a Christian, a person must fully accept as part of his or her own personal worldview the following core beliefs:

• Jesus is the Son of God and is equal with God (John 1:1, 49; Luke 22:70; Mark 3:11; Philippians 2:5–11)
• Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; John 8:29)
• Jesus was crucified to pay the penalty for our sins (Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 15:2–4)
• Jesus rose from the dead (Luke 24:46; Mark 16:6)
• We are saved by the grace of God; that is, we cannot add to or take away from Christ’s finished work on the cross as full payment for our sin (Ephesians 2:8–9)

It could be argued that belief in the inerrancy of God’s Word is also a core belief of Christianity because, if the Bible’s veracity is suspect, then all we know about God is in doubt. Saving faith is inextricably linked to the Word of God: “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17).

But the mental acceptance of the above points of doctrine is only the framework around which salvation occurs. Faith is more than intellectual assent, and mentally agreeing with the core beliefs of Christianity does not equal entrance into God’s kingdom. Even Satan and the demons know certain things about God (James 2:19). We can mentally agree with facts without making those facts the centerpiece of our lives.

Can a person be saved without holding to the core beliefs of Christianity? No. But along with accepting as true those core beliefs must be a spiritual transformation. Jesus said that in order to inherit eternal life one must be “born again” (John 3:3). To be born again is a work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a repentant sinner. Just as a mother in labor does all the work in bringing forth a new life, so the Holy Spirit does the work in transforming a sinner into a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17). This process begins when God draws a heart through conviction of sin and hope of forgiveness (John 6:44). When we surrender to God and repent of our sin (Acts 2:38), God applies the blood of His own Son to our account and cancels the debt we owe Him (Colossians 2:14). By this act of transference, God pronounces us “not guilty”; that is, He justifies us (Romans 4:5). Salvation is a divine exchange: Jesus becomes our sin so that we can become His perfection (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is the gospel at the very core of Christianity.

What are the core beliefs of Christianity?

Experience life to the fullest with an intentional alignment to God's rule and power. Bestselling author and beloved pastor Tony Evans writes about the Holy Spirit's power that is within us and how we can release it to greatly impact the kingdom of God both now and for eternity.

Tony Evans is known for elevating God's kingdom agenda, and in this new book he says that if we want to unleash the power of God through every area of our life, it's going to take an intentional alignment under His rule. God's kingdom power is at hand. His kingdom authority is at hand. God is near enough for us to tap into all He has for an abundant life in Christ. By orienting yourself to a kingdom worldview, you will be able to unleash

the kingdom power and blessing of God both in you and through you for others;
a greater level of kingdom authority based on His appointment and provisions;
your kingdom purpose and how to live it out even in the face of enemy attacks;
God's kingdom provision as you recognize Him as sole provider of all your needs; and
kingdom mysteries as Holy Spirit gives you insight and wisdom through Scripture
and much more!
In each chapter, Tony Evans uses examples of how to either overcome roadblocks to unleashing God's kingdom or how to implement spiritual truths in an effort to tap into a greater level of spiritual power. Dr. Evans uses both biblical and contemporary examples of people who have modeled what it means to live in God's strength for all they do and say.

As followers of Jesus, we have been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of Christ. We live in this world but are now informed by another. It's time for kingdom people to unleash kingdom work for the glory of God.

ON THE WAY TO CHRISTMAS by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston

Keith Muoki is a KJV bible believer saved by grace through faith preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He lives in Nairobi, Kenya, and preaches on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Bitchute.

Keith got saved on the 6th of June 2020 from the teachings of Robert Breaker after having been in the pentecostal religion for over 30 years and never having heard the gospel preached in detail.

He was always convinced that the sinner's prayer saved him but kept on being worried about his stand with Christ. On the 6th of June 2020, God used Robert breaker through his YouTube teachings and that's the day he first understood the gospel and got saved. Since then, he has never looked back and keeps on preaching every day enlightening others who are bound by religion like he was.
