Do you believe that you must believe in the "right" religion to be saved?

In that case there would still be "wrong" religions though, any religion that didn't believe in that deity. And while you might not have to follow the whole religion, if you asked the Christian God for salvation, wouldn't that essentially make you Christian?

lecanis There is really is more to being a true Christian. For the Christian God is a jealous God. He says that. Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: He also says in Luke 16:13 and Matt 6:24 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. Matthew 12:25But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. I hope this explaines thigs better.

I know I'm simplifying, deebomb! I wasn't unaware of that fact. But in general one who follows the deities of a specific religion would usually be considered to be of that religion, whether they actively followed each and every rule or not (though they might be seen as a "bad Christian" I suppose). Moreover, the early usage of the word Christian, as in Acts in the Bible, simply meant "disciples of Christ". That's where I was taking my meaning here, forgive me if I'm wrong!
