...One of the many things that "progressive" versions of the Christian Church appear to have dropped from their tenets is that Jesus was the Christ…here are just a few of the several hundred verses in scripture that refer to The Christ…it seems that the apostles uniformly agreed on this and held Jesus' Christhood as a fact:
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ. "
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).
John 11:27 (New International Version)
27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
