The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Is it possible to have no theological persuasion?

T.J.,

Methinks Robin really hit on the crux of the matter, i.e., it is impossible to have no theological persuasion and yet claim to be a Christian; by definition a follower of Christ and His teachings.

One may not fit in perfectly with any particular "ism", but that usually is the result of the person holding to contradictory doctrines, e.g., the so-called "Calminian" camp. And you are 100% correct that asking a few salient questions would definitely indicate where a person's theological persuasion is. In fact, if a person was to answer any question concerning what the Bible teaches, they have in fact revealed what "ism" they side with, even if it happens to be "me-ism".

When it comes to biblical Christianity, I think John Reisinger has it right in his article, There Are Only Two Religions in the Entire World.
