Probably most Americans believe that there was a man named Jesus that lived some 2000 years ago (historical oral accounts of the times being somewhat undependable). Whether or not, and to what degree, most Americans believe that he was special depends on the individual's particular religious beliefs. Toleration for varying religious beliefs is one of the principles upon which America was founded. Believe in him how? That he existed? Sure, most Americans believe that there was a man named Jesus who was a radical Jewish Rabbi and about whom some history was written. Many Americans believe him to be a spiritual leader, the Son of God and some believe him to actually be an incarnation of God. But many Americans belive that he was an obscure Rabbi who taught a small group but whose teachings were convenient when Constantine attempted to unite Europe under the Catholic (universal) church. This is an impossible question to ask simply because religion is a private issue amongst American families or any family from any country. The U.S. has "The Bible Belt" and that speaks for itself right there. You can say you believe in a higher being or God/Jesus/Holy Ghost, but it's how you live your life every day that makes you a Christian. Talk's cheap, action speaks. This doesn't mean that highly religious people are better than those that don't have a faith. Please complete your question. Do most Americans believe in Jesus as what? Many more believe that Jesus was a real historical figure than believe what He said about being the Son of God, or than believe that He died for each one of us. As another person once stated, many more believe in Jesus than believe Jesus.

Yes, Christianity is based on the belief of Jesus Christ being the son of the God of Abraham, who Christians both believe to be true and to be the only God. Christians believe this because they believe the bible to be the word of God and they believe the bible to be true because they believe in a God. It is a belief that people can only have if they choose to believe, because it requires believing it is true in the first place.

God sent his only Son as a propitiation for our sins. In Jeremiah, He promised that, at the time of the New Covenant (upon the death of the Messiah), He would write His law on our hearts (spirit) and in our minds (soul). Together, these two acts assure that we will know from birth that we are called to Christ. When we answer that call, when we repent as John and Jesus both commanded, God bestows upon us the gift of Faith. With faith comes the Holy Spirt, first to lead us, then to indwell us at the time of our Baptism, then to descend upon us once our hearts are circumcised and we have been commissioned (the laying on hands). At that time, the Holy Spirt will begin to lead you into all truth and your belief in the Christ will consume your life. Christ said that his brothers and his sisters and his mother and his father were those who believed in him and who obeyed his commands.

First of all let me clear a point regarding this question. Jesus is the only way to heaven (not only for christians but also for all). He has told 6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.John 14 So it is clear that without Jesus we cannot go to heaven. And it doesnot mean that believing in Jesus alone will make us go to heaven.More than that one should accept Jesus as his Savior,should confess his sins,should repend from sins and get salvation,should obey Lord, should do God's will in one's life,should help in building Lord's Kingdom,should live for Jesus ultimately. So it doesnt mean that believing in Jesus alone is enough to go to heaven. A man who believes in Jesus and acts according to Lord's will and obeys Lord only be taken to heaven which also said by Jesus in New Testament. P.S:Christians are those who believe in Jesus and do Lord's will in their life. Both should be there to enter Lord's Kingdom.

Chistians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God. Christians believe that there is no way to heaven except by believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a perfect sacrafice for their sins, and accepting him as their savior. Christians believe that we should live by the following golden rule:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul.

and

Love your neighbour as yourself

Yes, you cannot be called,or say you are a Christian unless you believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity is based on His teachings.
