There are multitudes of disagreement even within Christianity itself, thus the splitting of it into countless factions, each with their own specific ideas of what constitutes the “truth.”
As for my spiritual “commitment” (your word), it does encompass the Christ story but that constitutes only a part of it. This is not to diminish the Christ scenario, only to say that my beliefs are not limited to it.

Yeah, yeah I get it.
There are essentials that transcend
the factions, tenents within the pale (small o) of orthodoxy and all of the 3 (RC, Orthodox, and Protestant) branches adhere to them. Not going to digress any further, but if you do
not adhere to Christianity as it has been understood
for a couple thousand years, at least be upfront about
what you are. I don't go around saying, “ Buddha said
this, and Mohammad said that “ because I do not follow them.

Your “spiritual commitment encompasses “the Christ story”,
says it all.
