Before we can have any threads, what is Christianity? What does it mean to be Christian?

All the arguments about gays, pantheon of gods, evolution, etc i'm going to guess boils down to "Do you believe in Jesus?". Okay, great. BUT are people who want to believe Jesus was an alien, or a gay black woman, Christian? Would a religion around that idea of Jesus be Christianity?

>For the intentions of the board, a Christian is one who believes in the Nicene Creed (Specifically the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed) and the Chalcedonian Definition.

If you want the shortest possible summary of Christianity read the Nicene Creed + the Didache

This but the best summary of biblical teaching is the Westminster Confession of Faith

You could say you believe in Jesus, but that doesn't mean anything if you think Jesus was a space alien. To be a Christian, you need to believe that Jesus is who He said He was, that being the human incarnation of God the Son, the broker of the New Covenant, and the Messiah. Any doctrine that logically leads to a contrary identification is a heresy (i.e. unitarianism)
