Faith in Christ doesn’t mean how I believe in Christ, or how I will define who Christ is. Christianity, probably more than any other religion in the world, has shed millions of gallons of blood in battlefields and torture chambers over what and how people described Christ, how they defined him or defined their theological belief system. All religions of course have belief systems and all religions have more or less healthy debate about how those belief systems can be expressed. In Tibetan Buddhism there are four very distinct philosophical schools. In Christianity right from the very beginning, as you can see from the New Testament, there were many different ways of expressing and understanding, verbalising, conceptualising the meaning of Christ. So faith in Christ doesn’t mean what is your particular denomination or theological position regarding how we define him.
