Is a Deist considered a Christian?

No. Deist believe that some power started the world up, but afterwords the deity had no contact with humans. There are not that many Deist left. Most of them switch to atheism or agnostic when more science came out about the beging of the world. Some of our founding fathers were Deist, example George Washington.

An atheist doesn't believe in a deity. An agnostic doubts the existence of a deity. A deist, on the other hand, believes them both to be wrong. It's beginning to sound like a 'shell game' doesn't it?

Christianity is a religion.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus and believe he died as a ransom sacrifice for your sins then you are a Christian. Catholics profess to be Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses profess to be Christians. Davidians I do not know.

Can you tell us what deises are?

Yes (in a sense)...\n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

Yes I believe in God, but not the way traditional Christians do.  I'm a Gnostic Christian.

I'm a Christian. Also I might be mistaken but you cant be agnostic and atheist. agnostic is not sure God exists. Atheist means you are sure that God doesn't exist.

Many Christians DO NOT acknowledge that Catholicism is a division of Christianity but in fact it is. There once was a time when Catholics practiced the oneness of God.... later adding the trinity to its doctrine created a separation in the church. Out of that division came Protestant, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist,  Pentecostal, Apostolic, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormon etc...All are Christian nonetheless. \n\nTo say, "I'm Christian" is a unbiased, unprejudiced title; or general and safe to say. \n\nHowever, to say, "I am Catholic" is like saying United Kingdom is NOT a part of Europe because they want to be different from the rest of Europe, and they think they are better than everybody else. They look like the oddball in the group (out-casted). \n\nChristianity has dissected into so many entities over the past  centuries, one would have to be a true religious scholar in order to define all the various types of Christianity.

As a Christian, I have to say the Christian Church.  The denomination doesn't really matter.  The differences are not of the essentials of the Christian faith level.  They are minor differences so Baptists, Presbytarians, Lutherans, Pentacostals, etc. are all part of the true Church of Jesus Christ.  I might add that Mormons, though they like to claim to be Christians, are not Christians.

Yes, that about describes a christian

No. Just because someone was raised with the moral teachings of Christianity doesn't mean they are Christian. Being a Christian means being born again, a choice one has to make to be.

Then you aren't a Christian, are you.  \nSilly person.

From a non-believer:\n \nGood luck with that. Deism has the advantage that it can formulate proposals on the issues of universal reality, while at the same time dispensing with the absurdities of the writings of primitives. In that sense it's like "essential" theology. Neither "scripture" nor dogma can gain much of a toehold against it. That many of the American "founding fathers" subscribed to it should sound a word of caution to those who think it's some lightweight notion.

Countires cannot be Christian, individual poeple are Christians.

I have to disagree with everyone else.  I believe you can.  \n\nBy definition, a Christian is someone that believes that Jesus was the son of God and that only through him can you find salvation.  \n\nThe bible is secondary.  That majority of Christians find their faith through the bible, but you can be a Christian (by definition) and not believe in the bible.\n\nSo, if you are someone who is Christian by definition (see above) but do not believe in the bible... you could hold whatever belief you find to be the most true in your own heart.
