That's all there is to being a Christian and under that large umbrella, we each have our own interpretations and beliefs as directed by the Holy Spirit within us.

So I really hate when people claim to speak for all Christians when their views don't look like mine, just like I know they think I'm an awful heathen for my views but we all believe in Christ so we can all call ourselves Christian.
