I like this verse better my friend:\n\nJoh 11:26  and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" \n\nA Christian is someone who both lives and believes in Jesus. Repent is close but no cigar. We must make Jesus the Lord and Master of our life.\n\nGlad to help :)

I have to disagree with everyone else.  I believe you can.  \n\nBy definition, a Christian is someone that believes that Jesus was the son of God and that only through him can you find salvation.  \n\nThe bible is secondary.  That majority of Christians find their faith through the bible, but you can be a Christian (by definition) and not believe in the bible.\n\nSo, if you are someone who is Christian by definition (see above) but do not believe in the bible... you could hold whatever belief you find to be the most true in your own heart.

God would never betray you, not ever.  His promise of that is written in the Bible.  Therefore, I will ever remain a Christian.  :)

For me, a belief in God through Jesus Christ is not a vehicle by which I seek to attain the lofty heights of “good person” status, neither is it inspired by something as vague as a “feel”. It is far more definite than that and I thank the Lord that He has helped me to see these things with clarity.\n\nBut getting back to the crux your question, there are many people that have led a more righteous life than I (and others professing to be Christian), who perhaps from our limited human perspective would “deserve” to be way ahead in the queue for receiving God’s salvation.\n\nThe properly understood, “Good News” of the Gospel however is that we do not (and can not) receive the gift of God’s salvation by means of any good deeds or works that we can muster. There is simply nothing that we can do well enough to “earn” our salvation.\n\nWe need no preparation, (it’s futile), we come as we are (because God’s love is unconditional), we do not put it off (it’s the devil at work), we place our trust in Jesus, the Son of God (His blood, our only means of salvation), and we believe it in our hearts, confess with our lips and receive…… We are born again …...and with God’s help and the guidance of His Holy Spirit we become His “work in progress”.\n\nAs for being a good person, I believe that every true Christian strives to fit that bill as indeed plenty of non-Christians do also.  You do not need to be Christian to be good, you do not become Christian by being good but good (or heading that way) is what every true Christian should be.\n\nMat 6:33\nBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

First of all, becoming a Christian means accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour.  You do this by praying a simple prayer.  Here is a prayer if you would like to use it.\n\nDear Heavenly Father, I come to you and ask that you would come into my heart and lead my life.  I admit that I am a sinner and need and want forgiveness from you.  I believe that your son Jesus died on the cross for my sins and  came alive again on the 3rd day and went to Heaven.  I accept Jesus as my lord and saviour.  Please lead me to the truth through you.  Amen  \n\nStart with getting yourself a Bible.  A good place to start is in the Gospels in the New Testament.  The Book of John in the New Testament is a great place to start.  Pray to God that he would forgive you of your sins and that he would lead you in the right direction.  He will answer you and lead you.  Look around for a church to go to.  Talk with the Pastor at the church, he can help you.\n\nThe Gospels in the New Testament tell about Jesus' life and all that Jesus did for us.\n\nMay God Bless you and keep you safe, I will pray for you.

It is very sad indeed that these statements hold so much truth. Just because someone says they are Christian does not mean they are Christ like although that is what the bible teaches us to be. All through out the Word of God we are taught love. I believe because of a few who are ready to condemn or judge others they are defeating the purpose of true Christianity. We are not suppose to turn any away and still there are those that do. Then again the bible says that many will knock but few will enter. I personally apologize to all who have been hurt by someone claiming to have done so for religions sake. The God I serve is a God of love and He loves each and every one of us no matter what our flaws. I'm sure that when He sees someone turning away from Him because of something said or done He is truly heartbroken and disappointed.

Being in Christ is a spiritual walk in love and truth, which means that the carnal aspect of our natures has been, and is being, overcome.\n\nThis I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

true christians live their lives according to and for God. false christians claim to be christians but are only really "christian" on sundays when it comes to going to church. every other day of the week they live in sin.

1.) Technically it is someone who has been "saved".  That means they have recognized that they are a sinner and have asked God to come into their hearts.\n2.) A good Christian should:\n     a.) love and respect everyone, even those who believe  differently\n     b.) somehow contribute to society in a good way\n     c.) often thank the creator for his wonderful artwork\n     d.) not force their personal beliefs on others\n\nBasically a Christian should act like any other productive member of society.

Ask Christ into your heart. Believe that he died for your sins and will forgive you and he is the risen Lord. Read the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your heart. Find someone who is a Christian who can answer your many questions you will have. Find a good church that teaches truth from the bible. Continue to pray and strive to become more like Jesus by reading the bible and listening to Him in prayer.\n---In your question you said "REAL" Christian..These below are of "real" or true Christian ways. \n1. go to church. (the church is the body of Christ, everyone who is a Christian is a part of this, going to church can help you because there are some or many Christians there)\n2. hate everyone who is not of your faith.(not true)\n3. try and convert everyone who is not of your faith.(if you believe and love them you would, but you do not need to make everyone exactly like what you think a Christian is)\n4. call gays bad. (love the sinner hate the sin)\n5. be intolerant of everyone whom you don't like.\n6. fear god (true)\n7. love god (true)\n8. hate the devil (true)\n9. be understanding of hell. \n10. be the best person you can be (Jesus died for all the bad we do..wouldn't you want to do what you can for him?)\n11. don't over due it, as deeds don't get you into heaven. (Most believe we are saved by God's grace and we couldn't do it on our own because we are sinners by nature)

"anyone who is a good person is a Christian."  I don't agree.\n\nYou are not a Christian unless you believe the teachings of Jesus Christ.\nIt even says that in the dictionary.\n\n\n"...it takes more than (being good or nice) to be a follower of Christ."\n\nYou're right about that

Well, if someone has really been a true christian, and loved everyone, and treated everyone as they would want to be, then they have nothing to worry about.\n\nIt's the "christians" who preach hate and bigotry, discrimination and homophobia, and "ours is the only true way" that have some 'splainin' to do . . . and fast . . . .

If you have a trinitarian baptism, then yes you are a Christian.  That is the 2000 year definition of what makes a Christian a Christian.  If you do not believe me, read what the early Christians wrote and believed.  I suggest THE FAINT OF THE EARLY FATHERS by Jurgens.\n\nNow you can ask if they are actualy practicing the Christian faith, but if you have a trinitarian baptism, then you are a Christian for all time (baptism is an ontological change in the individual)
