There are quite a few names - parson, vicar, bishop, archbishop. Christian believers tend to refer to anyone who doesn't share their religious mores as 'pagan', though this is now accepted as a religious form itself, worshipping nature (I know it's more complex, btw). If you believe in God - the Christian God - then you are a Christian regardless of what you thinking of the rest of the religion, as you have faith in His being. If you believe in another supreme being then you can call your faith whatever you want, but I would choose something not yet taken so that you avoid confusion. I personally hate being called an agnostic, as I don't feel that I don't know - I just see that neither religion nor science have yet come up with meaningful answers to some of my more fundamental questions.

I believe the word you are looking for is "theist" - the opposite of "atheist". A theist is anyone who believes in God, but does not imply that they belong to any church or other religious organisation (mosque, synagogue...) .

I believe Agnostic is defined as someone who believes there is a God, but does not worship Him or follow His word. My own opinion, of course. God Bless, <:))))<><

there is no such thing as a christian God as i believe jews and muslims believe in the same God..so does that mean he has three names, 'The Christian God, The Jewish God and The Muslim God'? No..rather the Lord is truly The one and ONLY God.

Theist, Deist, and most Spiritualists.

You could call them a Quaker. There's no minister, no preacher, no organized service in that religion, though they believe in God.

A deist- Deism (ˈdi:iz(ə)m)[1] or (ˈdē-ˌi-zəm)[2] is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe, and that this (and religious truth in general) can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without a need for either faith or organized religion. Deists tend to, but do not necessarily, reject the notion of divine interventions in human affairs, such as by miracles and revelations. These views contrast with a dependence on revelations, miracles, and faith found in many Judeo-Christian, Islamic and other theistic teachings.
