Re: Essential Beliefs of the Christian Faith

Here is my actual response, which is a lot like yours PJ.

“Faith” in my understanding is believing, or trusting someone or something.  When you speak of essential “Christian faith” this has to be in the context of believing or trusting Christ. The things he did and said and taught concerning himself and us and this world we live in.  That’s it in a nutshell.  What is essential to believe?  The things he said.
 
And among those things he said was this below—from John 16
 
“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’  “But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;  concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;  and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.  “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.  “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
 
He said that he, himself was going away and not to worry about it because another was coming whom he referred to as ‘the Helper’ and ‘the Spirit of Truth.’  -And this one would convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment, each explained.  Sin- (missing the mark) because folks didn’t believe in him.  -That’s the essential.  That’s what being a Christ-follower entails—believing what he taught, and in the righteous One who sent him (the Father) with the good news of the kingdom.
