Sorry somebody felt the need to downrate this. Care to explain why? I promise it’s an honest question!

Well, if you are a Bible believing Christian, then you take everything the Bible says as a whole as part of your beliefs. You need nothing more than what's in that book. My person belief though, above anything, is... God does not judge you on what you don't know and believe to be truth. He judges you based on if you follow what you do know and believe to be true in your everyday life to the best of your ability. That is true no matter if you are Christian, Muslim, Buddist, or even Athiest/Agnostic. The key point is, no matter what you believe, do you follow the truth you know, or do you bend to other peoples beliefs and go with the flow? An excellent way to know, is if you are put in a crowd of people that are persecuting a person for something, will you join in? Or will you be the bigger person and stand beside them just to show you believe they are a person just like you?

I personally accept the Lord and accept he is my savior and do right for him. That is all I was taught is needed.

Because with Christianity, as with all religions, one gets to make it up as one goes along. Non-Fact based belief system have that advantage - no test or experiment will ever prove you wrong. +5

I think of it this way: you believe in the Father, THROUGH the Son, by the grace of the Holy Spirit. I think that is corroborated by how Jesus said 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the father except through Me. :)

I believe that the God sent us his son thru Mary and I love him with all my heart and Mary and Joseph for raising him..I Believe in Christ the Virgin and all of the Saints that have done wonderous things on this earth...Christiananity is a beautiful and wonderous religion if you think about it...its HUMANITARIAN religion to help others that do not like you anyway show them the way to the light...God bless us all.

Accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour is the most basic of criteria for salvation. It is what is said in Romans 10: 9 "IF you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Look at the thief on the cross. He had only moments before he died. He looked at Jesus and said "Remember me when you come into your Kingdom" and he was granted salvation on the basis of his acknowledgement of Jesus as Christ/Messiah and King. However, most of us have more time than that. So we can get to know God better in that time. We learn more about HIm and the work he has been doing throughout history, to bring humanity back into reationship with him. For those, like the thief, who had no time to know any more, there will be time through eternity to learn. Hope that helps.

No, you dont have to believe in the trinity to be saved. Actually you dont have to believe in hardly any of Christendom doctrines to be saved (Trinity, tithing, baptizm, saying the Lord's prayer, Lord's supper, free moral agency, etc.) The real truth is hard to swallow, even for most Christians, but they are loved of the Father nonetheless.

Whenever Jesus preached, the first thing he called for was repentance. He has no use for people that only give him lip service. Accepting Christ is nice, but we are His friends if we DO as he commands. The concept of the Trinity is not a matter of saving faith. There are areas in Scripture that allow for individual interpretation. The concept of the Trinity is one of these.

I think because the Trinity is a question of doctrine that has been disputed for centuries and split the church into the West and Eastern Orthodox whereas, accepting christ as Lord and Saviour is the basic principle of the Gospel. You can believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour and not believe in the Trinity ie. be Eastern Orthodox. This does not make you any less of a Christian.

I do believe faith in the Triune God is necessary for salvation, though at conversion one need not have much an intellectual grasp of the Triune nature of God. But when a contrite believing soul trusts the LORD Jesus, the Son of God to save Him, he is in essence attributing Deity to Him, and will receive the fuller basic revelation of the nature of God. There is a manifestly different spirit among those who deny such, and who usually preach more about their one true org. than about Jesus and the one true God. (John 12:40-41) "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. {41} These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him." (Isa 6:1) "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." (Isa 6:9ff) "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not......." (John 12:44-45) "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. {45} And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me." To God be the glory now and 4ever, the revelation of whom i am not worthy!

That is a Protestant position, and they were distinguishing it from the Catholic position that one also needs works and confession. Belief in the Trinity is presupposed and was not part of that split. (Although it does make sense that Christ-acceptance would not require any opinion on the internal anatomy of the Almighty)

The question is often asked, "Do I have to believe in the Trinity to be saved?" The answer is - yes and no. Does a person have to fully understand and agree with every aspect of Trinitarianism to be saved? No. Are there some aspects of Trinitarianism that play key roles in salvation? Yes. For example, the deity of Christ is crucially important to the doctrine of salvation. If Jesus were not God, His death could not have paid the infinite penalty of sin. Only God is infinite—He had no beginning, and He has no end. At the same time, we recognize that there are some genuine believers in Christ who do not hold to full Trinitarianism. We do not deny that a person can be saved while holding that God is not three Persons, but rather simply revealed Himself in three "modes." The Trinity is a mystery, which no finite human being can fully, or perfectly, understand. For salvation to be received, God requires us to trust in Jesus Christ, God incarnate, as the Savior. For salvation to be received, God does not require complete adherence to every precept of sound biblical theology. No, full understanding and agreement with all aspects of Trinitarianism is not required for salvation.

That sounds like Born Again Christians to me and they have nothing to do with the Trinity.

The bible says that those doing God's will are those that will be saved and also those that endure until the end. So it's not a case of just believing. The demons believed in Jesus and they aren't saved from destruction. It takes more than belief in something. You have to show that you believe and understand by how you change your life.
