>No. Denial of any of the following makes one NOT a Christian:

>- Jesus is God

where does the Bible say that one must believe this in order to be a
Christian.

1 John 4:15
"Whoever makes the confession that Jesus Christ is the *Son of God* ,
God remains in union whith such one and he in union with God."

Believing Jesus is the "Son of God" is essntial..not "God the Son"

If you think you can impugn my logic, you'll have to learn to

to obey" doesn't follow.
