You're asking for an "exhaustive" list for an "Eternal Life believer" to follow? Perhaps this is a somewhat inapt way of stating it.

Gahalia said previously, in this thread, that the remarkable thing to remember are those things which the "different Christian denominations have in common, especially when it gets down to the key issues." In other words, we are looking at the "short list" of the essentials. Those few essentials are already covered by CCC's booklet on "The Four Spiritual Laws," which has been mentioned several times in this forum (I am going to put in the updated Flash link, which has been changed recently.) The normal text version in English is at http://www.greatcom.org/laws/english/ .

Wolf "my only quibble is that they should have called it 'The Four Spiritual PRECEPTS,' since the word 'LAW' carries a whole other baggage of impressions which can be construed as confusing" spirit

Is there any particular reason why you think Christian faith ought to be defined as being /more/ than these basic beliefs that Christians hold in common?
