Default I use the term 'Pauline Christian' to distinguish it from true Christianity.?

A Pauline Christian is anyone who believes that God required a blood sacrifice to atone for mankind's sins. A True Christian attempts to connect with his/her Christ self whilst living, not waiting around for some future event. A true Christian had decided to give up his false ego and listen to the voice of God within him/her. Gnostic Christians fit this category, and also everyone who has achieved sadhu, or Christ Consciousness, a state wherein one sense the fundamental oneness of the Universe. Contributions welcome.

Phew...! I must admit I have had problems in the past with what I have seen as undue influence of Paul on Christian thinking and church organization. Over the years I have come to see that his letters actually address specific issues in particular church communities and it is almost impossible to derive a distinctive and consistent Pauline theology from them.

As far as I am concerned a true Christian, almost by definition, is one who follows the teaching and example of Jesus, called the Christ. Nothing more and nothing less.
