Basic Christian doctrine 

I’m requesting the article, Basic Christian doctrine, because the differences among apostolic doctrines are important. There’s a difference between the notion of Christ dying for the sins of the world and Jesus being punished as an example to prevent sins. There are also differences among the ideas of being saved by belief in Jesus, of being saved by repenting before sinning, and of simply being saved by the choice of someone else. Also, if Jesus had not been crucified, what would the doctrines be? Salvation by repentance with God’s help? Also, should the biblical accounts of Jesus death be considered important at all, or simply annoying gratuitous violence in an historical record? Jesus at the beginning of his ministry preached repentance and prayer, and not the atonement. Therefore, there is room for an article on doctrines.
