Christian Doctrine
There are many different denominations of Christianity, which are divided into four sects; Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental, and Protestant. However they all hold the same undeniable Truth. That is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and one can achieve paradise by accepting Him as their savior and repenting their sins.
Christian churches require on Baptism; which is either a dunking into water or the sprinkiling of water onto the head; though under times of extreme circumstances, one may be baptized with spit (in the Roman Catholic faith). This tradition dates back to John the Baptist who was an early Christin prophet and evangelist. Jesus Christ received his baptism from John.
The meaning of the Revelation chapter of the Bible (the final Chapter) is somewhat disputed. Some denominations feel the capter signifies the end of the world and the second comming of Jesus Christ, others believe the chapter is a medefore for Roman Society at the time. People often sya Revelations with an 's'; however this is incorrect as their is only one Revelation given by God.
The Bible ends in 'Amen' which is a common phrase stated at the end of most Christian prayers.
