The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What are the basic tenets that one must believe to be a Christian? Let's say, in Eastern Orthodoxy or Protestantism or whatever. What are the basic precepts (not rituals) that one must acknowledge to be a Christian?

Read over the Nicene Creed.

Nicean Creed


261057 No.656379

So, the Creed of Nicea also known as the Nicene Creed or the Nicean Creed like the second poster said, adopted in the city of Nicaea?

>I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He arose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Good luck fam

An important sidenote from Galatians 5: if you put your faith in "the law" (old Jewish rituals and taboos, especially circumcision) rather than Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, you fall from God's grace and lose salvation.

For Catholicism, and if I may speak for the Eastern Orthodox, faith can't be reduced to a set of propositions. We are obliged to believe all that the Church proposes as her dogmatic teaching, otherwise our beliefs are not faith, but rather our own opinions. It's an all or nothing thing.

>and if I may speak for the Eastern Orthodox

no

theologoumena is a thing here

Orthodoxy is not really that dogmatic


eac161 No.656440

Theologoumena ae a thing in Catholicism too.

There is a real difference between things that must be believed for salvation (dogma) and different theological ideas held by the Fathers, that may not all agree with each other because they come from different traditions or interpretations of the scriptures.

>>656422

The OP is asking for what is the strict minimum that makes one a Christian. A Christian can still be a heretic who rejects dogma.

I would say that one must believe the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed in its original form (which doesn't necessarily exclude also believing the later Latin version of it) to be Christian "intellectually" and be baptized to be Christian "metaphysically" (united to the body of Christ).
