Mormon here

Forget I said anything.

I was unaware that Mormons referred to themselves as "Christians"; therefore, I stand corrected.

Mormon here

Really?

I should have put "bible believing" in quotes. I have actually attended(very shortly) bible believing churches which actually weren't. I just decided to not make a long exhaustive definition of what I find bible believing to mean, because it would have been long and I doubt any one would have wanted to read it!

Yes, and I'm not sure how that matters. I was wondering if he was serious or if he was just saying it because of the comments about Mormonism.

You guys should be more conscientious to the Christians on these boards who don't believe in the bible to the nth degree.

What is a nth?

"nth" is a mathematical term.

I find it hard to be a Christian without believing the Bible. Also, just because somebody says, "I'm a Christian." doesn't mean they really are.

Non-denominational here. 100% based on the Bible, not doctrines or tradition.

Lol Wow what a shot at denominations, especially Catholics and Lutherans. Man, whoever said tradition was bad?

Sola Scriptura?

I personally like tradition based faiths over Bible based faiths; they make more historical sense [to me].

That has nothing to do with any sort of "tradition" in my comment. FWIW, Sola Scriptura is one of those doctrines that Cameron doesn't like.

You're right, my mistake. I was just thinking that sola scriptura sounds a lot like the 100% bible, 0% tradition/doctrine that Cameron mentioned. However, they are defined differently.

How can he say 100% based on the Bible and not like Sola Scriptura?

Ok if you want to go that way.

Do you believe in the tradition that Jesus is God's Son? No, because then you wouldn't be 0% tradition. Face it, even if you say "bible-believing" your still in large amounts of traditional beleifs.

Maybe I am missing your point entirely, but it sounded to me like you just made the following argument:
Do you believe that Jesus is God's Son? If you do believe that, then you are following tradition.

I would like to add that this is a Scriptural belief, rather than traditional. Unless you mean that the Bible is a tradition in of itself, your argument naturally contradicts itself. (I mean nothing personal, but I just thought I would point that out.)

I am also non-denominational, and I personally have a hard time agreeing with non-scriptural traditions. Furthermore, since everyone is free to express their opinion, that is where I stand. I do not hold people that I disagree with in contempt over this matter, and feel obligated to say so.

I was giving up and saying I agreed with you, how did that stimulate more conversation?
