Since there are SO many Christian denominations today and they all seem to just shrug their shoulders at the many differences between denominations and their beliefs, I am just curious as to what are considered the essential doctrines of modern day protestant Christianity?
Can somebody please list them? Can we come to a concensus as to what they are?

The only truly relevant ones are to follow Christ and His commands to "love God and each other" . . . all else is vanity and human hubris.
The basic precepts of the Christian faith are , the belief and having a relationship with the Living God through His Son Lord Jesus by the power of His Spirit ..... Were this God is of Goodness, Just, Merciful loving God, as God is Good, the spirit he does put in His followers is a good spirit compatible for His interaction, Faith is God and his Words and Works is essential, obeying the commands of love of the Lord and all people are essential.... accepting Jesus Holy Spirit into Christians life is essential,, building the fruit of the Spirit of righteousness is essential, resisting the works of the flesh of this world and the dark spirit authority of this world is essential , preparing a place in the world for Jesus Church to exist prayer is essential for Apostolic survival of Christians in Nations is essential, Christians helping Christians and helping other to come to Christ were, To fill Heaven and shun hell is essential,... There are many fruit of the spirit to expand on needed, and many works of the flesh to avoid but I will leave it there...

Love the Lord your God with all you heart, soul, and mind.....
Then love your neighbor as yourself.....
Believe in Jesus.....
Trust the word of God( the Bible ).......
Receive the Holy Spirit and bear the gifts of the Spirt.......
There are alot of essentials but they actually compliment one another and clarify each.

We shrug, because the differences are just minor or secondary points-at least for 95% of said denominations. Some of the main differences have to do with style of worship, style of church government, the color of the carpet or the mode of baptism.
Lok up the Apostles or Nicene creed to get a view of the basics. Anyone who trusts in Jesus for their eternal destiny and has a relationship with God is a brother or sister.
FYI I am involved with a Lutheran and Assembly of God Chruch. They both think well of the other denomination.
ex-protestant here, Moderator cut: delete
Protestant Christianity is a vague word that covers a lot of different believes, mainly however they believe something extraordinary about Jesus of Nazareth.
