I can say "I believe in the one God of Abraham and God's holy prophets. I believe in God who is behind different religions".

But what I believe do actually have a label.. What I believe is really a kind of omnism. So i do not have to make up my own belief system

Omnism is a belief in all religions. There are variations in exactly what omnism means and the extent to which it should be applied. For the most part, omnism does not imply literal acceptance of every single religious claim as true. Rather, omnists generally perceive some level of truth or specific truths in all religious faiths. Omnism would assert that all religions share a common goal and a common ability to achieve those shared ends.

A omnist believe the belief that no religion is the only truth. but that truth is found in all religions

It is certainly true that truth is found in all religions because they share things in common. Unless of course they share false beliefs :)
Jesus said that He is the truth. That is a strange thing to say.
If He is the truth then having Him is to have the truth even if our other beliefs are not quite right.

I do not really a omnist. . Maybe a kind of omnist

Omnism is this:

So.. I do not believe in all religions and religious denominations. I only believe in religions that teach kindness, love, justice, goodness is important. I do not believe in religions that teach that violence and hate is important

What Jesus said is strange if you understand his statment wrong. I believe he meant that if we follows his teaching about loving god and our neigbour then that path lead to God. I do not think he thought that you literally have to believe he is the Son of God to be saved

Thats basically a definition of a Bahai, other than your specific mention of "Quranist Islam".

Yet, I am curious. WHen you say you believe in Christianity, are you trinitarian Christian with the belief of Original sin and the salvation through the Christ being the sacrificial lamb?

Bahai's do not believe what I believe.

No i do not believe in the trinity. I believe in strict monotheism. But I have nothing against the trinity. The trinity is a kind of monotheism.
I believe in christ being a kind of sacrifical lamb yes

You dont believe in the Trinity, but you believe in Christianity? Or are you just saying you believe in the Bible, not Christianity. Or, do you have your own version of Christianity?
