You believe that a Christian

1. Does not have to have faith in Christ
2. Does not have to be born again


Agree so far?
You are putting words in my mouth--I said that we disagree with what it means to have faith in Christ. I submit that both the Samaritan and the Centerion had faith in Christ based on their following the Spirit even though they had yet to have a formal education about Christ--just as the Jews of the OT did not yet know of Christ formally, they certainly understood Him by Spirit.

So, no, I do not agree with what you have concluded so far. What I do see is that you want to understand my beliefs from within your own paradigm. I ask you to step out and see if you can understand mine rather than try and force my beliefs into your understanding of Christianity.
