A Christian is a person who follows the teachngs and example of Jesus. That's it. That's all there is to it.

It has nothing to do with ceremonies invented centuries after the death of Jesus. It has nothing to do with wine, or wafers. It has nothing to do with folklore borrowed from figures in Greek literature, such as Apollonius. It has nothing to do with the Bible. It has nothing to do with baptism. It has nothing to do with the cross. It has nothing to do with special days, or special houses of worship. It has nothing to do with some kind of magical "being saved."

If you know what Jesus said and did, and if you emulate him and follow his teachings, you are a Christian.

Be modest and kind. Help others. Love them as you love yourself. Treat them as you wish to be treated by them. Return reason for hatred. Forgive your enemies. Follow the ten commandments. Use the Lord's Prayer.

Are communion and baptism part of what is called dogma?

[–] • 1 pt (edited )

yes its dogma and practice by christians

jesus told his disciples to commemorate his death by taking holy communion which after his resurrection was called "agape feasts"

> Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

>Luke 22:19 ¶ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

>Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

>Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

>Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

>1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

baptism doesnt save you but its a sign that you are saved and ditto for communion
