Many Christians believes that they are the people of God. But there are so many denominations with specifics teachings and doctrines.
Is this true, according to the Scripture, that Christians automatically are the people of God, or is there a specific criteria to be called as the people of God?

define people of God..... I would submit that if God created or takes care of something he created, it would make that creation "His." Thus all people belong to God.... in fact all creation belongs to Him....
Where there is life, there is hope....

Seeing that this topic was posted in the Bible Study forum, I took this as the beginning of a new Bible Study, therefore, what does the Bible say about the people of God?

Definetely, the people of God are those who enter heaven and have the right to the fruit of life.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Of course, in one sense everyone, whether sinner or saint, is a person of God. But God makes a distinction between those who are chosen and those who are not. The chosen people of God in the last days, according to the Revelation, is the Seventh-day Adventist church. We are commissioned by God to call people out of Babylon (i.e., catholic and protestant churches) into the SDA church.
1 Peter
2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
2:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Genesis
6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
John
1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Romans
8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Philippians
2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
1 John
3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Revelation
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Surely you see that your last post is an exercise in prooftexting. The quotes when read in context are not talking about the same thing as your start comment.
Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell

The people of God are those who know Him.
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

Thomas, do you disagree with the idea that God makes a distinction between those who are chosen and those who are not? And, do you disagree with the idea that the SDA church is God's chosen people in these last days?
