"Lets see ... Christianity : a religious person who believes Jesus is the Christ and who is a member of a Christian denomination Now tell me , how can one say they are a Christian if they do n't follow his Word ?

"So St Peter was n't a Christian as he did n't have the Bible ? You are assuming that the Bible is the word of Christ/God . It is obvious from your definition that a Christian can believe Jesus is Christ and belong to a non-literalist Church Incidentally , I 've always thought capitalising Word for the Bible is an example of bibliolatry , associating it too closely with Jesus as the Word ( logos ) ."
