There are some beliefs that are quite common to Christianity. These belief systems are not practiced by all members of the Christian faith, but some of their associated values are shared. Nevertheless, one aspect that seems to be most consistent to all groups that practice Christianity is the fact that there is the belief in God. Now, deeper viewpoints as to the details of his existence and exactly how it is that he exists varies across different members of the Christian faith, but one of the key factors that distinguishes those that follow and practice Christianity is the belief in God. The further extent of this core belief of Christianity is the fact that members of the Christian faith believe, not only is there a God, but that there is only one God.

Some members of the Christian faith believe in what is called the Holly Trinity, otherwise known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit/ Holy Ghost. A large number of those that belong to Christianity take on the belief that God is made up of these three entities. These members of the Christian faith largely draw this conclusion due to some of the statements that are made in the Bible of Christianity. For instance, there is a verse in Matthew of the New Testament that makes mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in reference to baptism.

Those that practice Christianity study the Bible. Certain members of the Christian faith have different version of the Bibles than others, but the various translations are loosely the same. The Christian faith will generally study a Bible that has been broken down into two testaments, The Old Testament, and The New Testament. The Old Testament is most referred to by some members of Christianity as the writings that were tabulated before the birth of Jesus Christ. The distinction is made by these members of Christianity between The Old Testament and The New Testament by referring to The New Testament as the new revelations after the birth of Jesus Christ.

Another belief in Christianity is that there is life after death. The general belief amongst members of the Christian faith is that those who follow the Word and the practices of God like they should, they will live on. Many members of the Christian faith believe that the place in which they will go on to live is in Heaven. It is also believed as one of the key principles of Christianity that they will live on in this dwelling, eternally. Members of the Christian faith also have a distinct theory about those that do not follow God, they will suffer the consequences. It is believed by many in Christianity that these people will be subject to eternal punishment.
