Are you absolutely sure?

If they worthship and follow Christ as a main part or power of their faith, then they can call themselves Christian. Worthship of Jehovah (God, Allah) does not mean you are a Christian. Well, following the New Testament and taking it's words a a main basis for your faith helps.

The way I'd say it. If you believe in Christ as your Lord and Savior and the New Testiment as 100% truth then you are considered Christian. However if your theology does not see Jesus Christ as God and follow the new testiment then you are not Christian. Many religion's believe in Christ in many different ways. Even Islam sees the Bible as a Holy text (Still not entirely sure how, but my Muslim friends assure me that it is). But Islam does not see Jesus as God and do not follow Christ as their lord and savior.

Just because you believe in the Bible, even believing in someone named Jesus doesn't make you a Christian. if that were the case Sihk's would be Christian's, Muslim's would be Christian and most Jews would be Christian. Heck theirs even Athiests who believe Jesus was a living breathing man.

It's following the teachings of Christ as laid out in the New Testiment and believing in Jesus as your Lord and savior that makes you a Christian!

The Islamic faith is based on the stories of the Bible and it's teachings, most prominant prophets of the Christian and Jewish faith are prophets in Islam, Muhammed restored their teachings as well as producing the Qu'ran (I think). They see Jesus as a prophet, not the son of God.

The idea that if you believe in Christ and have faith in him as you describe above is why I have a go at anyone who claiming certain other Christ based faiths are not Christian. LDS being one which most people think is not Christianity.



Hmm, pie.
