What are protestants believe in?

In: Protestantism [Edit categories]

Answer:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him, shall not parish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

That verse pretty much sums up the Protestant belief. But there's still a bit more to it. They believe that Jesus (the Son of God) was perfect and died on the cross to save them from their sins. The believe that if you admit that you've sinned and you believe this, then you will become a Christian.

They also reject the notion that divine authority is channeled through one particular human institution or person such as the Roman Catholic pope. Protestants look elsewhere for the authority of their faith. Most of them stress the Bible - the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament - as the source and the norm of their teaching
