Defining Christianity Where does the term “Christian” even come from? Greek: Χριστιανός (pronounced khris-tee-an-ose) Acts 11:26 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. Acts 26:28 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” 1 Peter 4:16 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

Defining Christianity General beliefs: Jesus Christ died for sin and was resurrected on the third day Belief in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Communication with deity through prayer The New Testament is considered sacred scripture and provides the Christian pattern to live by The Fall of Man initiated by Adam and Eve The existence of both good and evil

Traditional Christianity:Biblical Christianity: Includes an acceptance of doctrines set forth in both the Bible AND in various religious creeds set forth by the early Church after the death of Christ and apostles. Includes an acceptance of doctrines in the Bible while supplementary creeds are NOT accepted as authoritative.

If Mormons are Christian then, what makes them different? Belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three, separate beings. Belief in an open canon of scripture Belief in modern-day prophets

Mormons fall under the category of “Biblical Christianity” Christianity includes a myriad of denominations, each one being different from the other in some way. Despite this, there are certain characteristics each one must have in order to be considered a Christian religion. A greater acceptance of Mormons as Christians can lead to… Greater religious tolerance Greater unity among Christian sects A greater potential to spread Christianity throughout the world
