If you realign your beliefs with the Bible verses that are presented to you, then you still have a perfect score. Please continue on. There are Christians, true believers who have never heard the following information. But in a childlike faith, held onto what they have received. This is great; today you will grow in the faith and get a firm foundation. Again, just align yourselves and your beliefs with what the Bible says and you will retain your perfect score. It takes a 100% perfect score to retain the High calling and Title of “Christian”.
That being said, many today will find out that they can only go so far and do not truly believe in the Jesus of the Bible, or the God of the Bible. They will find that they worship and serve a false Jesus and a fake god. This does not have to be so. Just align yourselves with the Bible and truly be a Christian, the kind that Jesus will say He knows. You see, all these questions relate back to Jesus and Who and What He is in God’s sight. You cannot remove one and still have the same Jesus. They all must be accurately represented to truly be Jesus. To say you believe in Jesus, you must believe all that is said about Him in the Holy Word of God. So, Get A 100%!

He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. (45) But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.

(20) But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? (21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (22) Do you see how faith worked with his works, and from the works faith was made complete? (23) And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.” (24) You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. (25) And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way? (26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

(28) Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, (29) and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”
-Fact 2: 1 Corinthians 15:21-24 “For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. (22) For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. (23) But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

Congratulations!!: If you passed with a 100%, you can rightly call yourselves a “Bible-believing, spirit-taught, blood-bought Christian”. You might have learned a lot of new things you never believed before today, and that is okay. All we can do is live up to the light of truth we have been shown. As they say, we are not responsible for what we don’t know, but what we could have known and rejected. You might have been a Christian with childlike faith, not having the fullness of truth before today. Now you can mature into a firm faith as a fully developed believer. Jesus has grace and mercy for those who are growing and learning, but not to those who reject the truth and deny the facts.
John 4:23-24 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. (24) God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
