I am a Christian. I do not follow Christianity. This means that I accept the Bible but I do not accept Christian doctrines that are not found in the Bible.

NASB20

Christian
Acts 26:28 NASB20 - Agrippa [replied] to Paul, "In a short [time] you [are going to] persuade me to make a Christian [of myself.]"
1 Peter 4:16 NASB20 - but if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Christians
Acts 11:26 NASB20 - and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers of people; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

I am open to discussion of matters of this concern. If you think that I am out to lunch let me know. Otherwise I would just say I am a Christian and an adherent of Christianity.

Amen christians are disciples of Jesus Christ , the same Jesus in the Bible who will never change

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭

“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

his words will always be the same to all
People

“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭

The one and only gospel spoken by the mouth of our lord began in israel but would be preached to all nations

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;

and then shall the end come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Christian’s true doctrine in here

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭

this word

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This word

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This word

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(This word )

….Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32, 51‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This word

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:48-50‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s the word of Christ he sent o to the world specifically

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.

He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
‭‭2 John‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The reason is it’s this word

Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and in the world this is prevalent

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There’s a word of life in the world sent by God a word of salvstion it’s meant for every creature of God to hear and believe some will and some won’t then some will try to re invent and re label this word

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Not only the Bible but specifically the doctrine of our lord Jesus Christ those words he said give life and spirit and promise and light and true hope

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.


But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:46-49‬ ‭KJV‬‬

in other words

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, ( repent ) and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. ( believe the gospel )

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:21-

the gospe Jesus sent into the world and said will save believers will save believers forever

“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, ( preach the gospel to every creature ) lest at any time we should let them slip.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;( ot law )

how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, ( jesus came preaching the gospel mark 1)

and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; ( his apostes and disciples who wrote the gospels and New Testament epistles confirming it )

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?”( the book of acts wot eas of the early church origins and how it spread tonus that believe today )
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬


This gospel will be preached in all the world for a witness to all people the. The end shall come Jesus eas saying in the everlasting gospel you are following the right word your title threw me lol

God denotes His being, while the Trinity denotes His personhood.

As a rough analogy, I am a human being, but that says nothing about my personhood.

Or another example: animals are beings, but they are not "persons".

For example, I am not Trinitarian. I don't know what else. That would probably come out in conversation. Some things I have uncertainty about.
Got it. Okay, then,. Obviously you must believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, and in Matt. 28: the Great Commission, He tells us to go into all the world and make disciples, teaching them to observe everything we have been taught, and to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (the Trinity.)

But, in addition to this, even as far back as Genesis, [26] And God said, Let "us" make man in "our" image, after "our" likeness:, (more than one person.)

I do not agree with the Trinity doctrine. I do not believe that Jesus is God. But in Revelation there is the Alpha and the Omega.
I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Jesus said I and my Father are one. This is the Godhead The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost(Spirit). When people get saved accept Jesus as their personal Savior. they have the Holy Spirit indwelling them.

But does Genesis


But does Genesis 1:26 teach the trinity?
Yes, Jesus was with God The Father in the beginning. Also, John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus is the word so he is God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

Jesus also stated that " I will pray the Father and the Farther will send another Comforter...."

so, there , in one sentence, Jesus identified Himself ( 1) , the Father ( 2 ) , the Comforter, a k a the Holy Sprit ( 3 ).
