    Well then it depends on the individual. What is major and minor is relative.

    I've said before on BB that the major points of Christianity should center around the major creeds of the church...specifically the Apostles and Nicene.

    These major points have traditionally been:
    1. There is one God.
    2. God is the creator of everything.
    3. There is one Lord, Jesus the Christ.
    4. Jesus is God's Son.
    5. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit.
    6. Jesus died to save sinners.
    7. Jesus rose on the third day.
    8. Jesus ascended into heaven.
    9. Jesus sits in power at the right hand of the Father.
    10. Jesus is the head of the church.
    11. Jesus will come again.
    12. Jesus will judge the world.
    13. Jesus will reign with his people forever.
    14. Faith in Jesus alone saves.
    15. and judging by the previous major points....everything is about Jesus.

    Yes...and before the 70's, TULIP was not commonly mentioned my most Calvinists.

    I agree, and this is the only way in which we will ever have meaningful and civil discussion and debate here. We must understand the above (or something very similar to it) as the majors, and all else as minor in comparison.

    Christianity resides under this umbrella.

    :applause: Very good.

    However I do notice that this would (at least appears to) exclude some here who hold to a very strong form of dispensationalism and say that Christ is not presently reigning.
