Do some deists believe in Resurrection of Christ?

“Christian deist” is a contradiction in terms. Christians believe in the pre-incarnate existence of Jesus as the eternal and uncreated Word of God who was with God in the beginning and who is God. “The Word became flesh and dwelt with us” (John 1:1-3; 14). Deists reject any notion that Jesus pre-existed before he was born.

Christians also believe in the miraculous virgin birth, that the Holy Spirit was the means by which Mary was impregnated – that no man was involved. Deists reject the virgin birth.

Christians believe that Jesus gave up his life in order to pay for the sin of the world and that it is only by repenting of our sins and coming to saving faith in what Jesus did that we can be forgiven. Deists reject any notion of sin, repentance and salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Christians believe that the resurrected and glorified Jesus will return to judge the world and establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. The enemies of God (the powers of sin and darkness) will be destroyed in the final battle and then God will establish a new heaven and a new earth. Deists do not.

This deist might believe in the resurrection of Jesus but from what you’ve said, their view of who Jesus is bears little resemblance to the biblical and Christian beliefs concerning Jesus Christ.
