Bali is a part of Indonesia with unique behavior and tradition. It has some specific symbols which become the mirror of its identity. More than 90percen Balinese are Hindus. For Hindus, the faith is clearly shown in their daily rituals. In the other hand, Bali tradition is similar with Hindus. Identity in their society contain primodial sentiment such as etnics, religion and etc. For this society, identity is a ?self-value? and ?weapon? to face the foreign or external power using symbols in language and culture. Therefore, to get its resistant, built ?pekraman? village or Bali traditional village which legalized by Bali government and considered that villages do not include in ?pekraman? village is foreigners. The resistance of Hinduism is strenghtened after the Balinese bombing in 2003 by ?ajeg Bali? programme. The problems may occur that not 100% of Balinese are Hindus. All of the villages in Blimbingsari are Christian which different from the common Balinese. The matter in this research is the specifically found how Blimbingsari?s effort to obtain a legacy that they are considered as Balinese eventhough they hold their Christianity. This research uses the etnography of communication with the writers?s observation by living in this society. The result of this research shows that Blimbingsari do some effort to acculturate in building cultural symbols by inserting culture of (Hindu) Bali without leaving Christianity. This result indicates that acculturation process within Cristianity and Hinduis in Blimbingsari conducted through some communication media or lines, i.e. the architectures of Pniel Church in Blimbingsari, the carving in Pniel Church, the rituals of Pniel Church, social organization and Awig-awig in villages with Christianity tradition. Blimbingsari uses culture as one of the media to fight for the dominant culture. The acculturation within Hinduis and Christian culture in Blimbingsari village is an effort to fight for without violence, and a conformity which they try to use in reducing conflicts happened inside Bali society. The acculturation of culture creates self identity of Blimbingsari culture, in Bali society which embraces Christian in a village with Christianity tradition.
