Hi Wog. Yes, I agree on the essentials of the Christian faith as you laid them out. My weak spot is the inerrancy of the Bible, though. I do think it was inspired by God, but I also think, since it was written by man, there are some areas that are sometimes mis-interpreted or interpreted so many ways it leaves a lot of loopholes. That is why I am not a Bible-only believer. I think the new testament is inerrant, but that the old testament is mostly a wonderful book of historical data that was meant to be a guide for how God wants us to live, but not the be all and end all of the Word.
