Atonement of Christ

Do you need to believe in the atonement of Christ to obtain the salvation that He offers?

The question is both simple and complex. There are a number of things that long-time Christians believe. Some of those may be required for salvation. Others may not. Is the atonement of Christ on the “must” list or is it not required.

When I say atonement, I am referring to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as the ultimate substitutionary death in our place as the result of the original sin in the Garden of Eden.
