Q: Is Scientology a Christian religion? What do they believe?

A: Scientology is not a Christian religion. Before I tell you what they believe, I want to give a brief description of what we, as Christians, believe and the basis of Christianity. Then, when I get to...
...the beliefs of Scientology, it will be very apparent that the two don’t connect.
Christianity is founded on the person of Jesus Christ: his teachings, ministry, death and resurrection. The word “Christ” means that He is the anointed one (it’s not Jesus’ last name...{smile}). Jesus came to Earth, fulfilled Old Testament laws and prophecies, died on a cross, and physically rose from the dead. He performed a lot of miracles that are recorded in the Gospels – with eye witness accounts.
We believe that there is only one God in all existence who made the universe and created man and woman in His image. We also believe in God as Trinity – not three Gods – but one God who is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Christianity is the only religion in the world that teaches salvation through grace…all other religions teach that we must do some sort of good to achieve the right to be in the presence of God. In other words, our belief is that there is nothing we can do to earn our way to heaven. We are able to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven by faith in what Christ did for us on the cross.
As Christians, we also believe that once an individual comes to know Christ (“is born again”; “saved”) – they are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit actually indwells their body and they are changed, allowing them to experience a true, living relationship with God.
All that being said…here is the core belief system of Scientologists, taken directly from their writings:
“Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized—and those capabilities can be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability. In Scientology, no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true.”
A religion with no truths and no belief system, that elevates each individual to be their own god…is definitely not compatible with Christianity.
