AG,
In statements like,[...salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ...],IMO has the potential to put down those of other faiths according to the guidlines of the forum.
You wrote,[...if I can not talk about Jesus Christ...this rule to be discriminatory...].
Well, the rule is not that you can not talk about Jesus Christ, but the rule is that posts are not acceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum [...if they put down those of other faiths...]. Now as to what constitutes what {puts down} those of other faiths can be seen in the past practice of posts that have been addressed by the administration as putting down those of other faiths and a search can bring them up.
In the case of your proposed post, it is my opinion, and I believe, that the proposed post is not acceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum even if "I believe" or "people of my faith believe" is put in the post. This is my opinion. You could submit your proposed post to Dr. Hsiung and get a determination as to its acceptability or not. But if the foundation of a faith puts down those of other faiths,I believe that the guidlines of the forum make the post unacceptable.
