You can invent whatever religion you want, as long as your practices don't break the laws of the land, and if those laws allow, you can even open a new church.
Now, if you want to be recognized as a member of an established congregation without adhering to its precepts, then you should expect to be rejected. They don't have any obligation to accept you, nor your beliefs.
There are various flavors of Buddhism and of Christianity, but I don't think that they are compatible in any way. Buddhism is basically atheist, while Christianity is theist. But this shouldn't stop you from inventing whatever appeals to you, with the caveats mentioned above.
