What is a Christian?

Are you intrigued or interested?

Someone recently informed me that they considered themselves a Christian but it was evident by their life style that they weren’t knowledgeable enough to know what a Christian is. This troubled me.

85% of American claim to be Christians but this survey included "religions" that are not considered "Christian Faith".

So who is a Christian?

A "Christian" is a person:
1.Who belongs to Christ Jesus and believes he is the Son of GOD.
2. They believe Jesus Christ is the only way into heaven and to be accepted by GOD the Father.
3. They have invited and received Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior of their life.
4. They believe Christ died for them on the cross for their sins and rose from the grave. By Jesus’ sacrifice, they are children of GOD.
5. They believe and live according to how Jesus said we should live with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
6. They should confess this "Good News" to others so they too will be saved and have eternal life.
7. They believe salvation can not be earned but it is a gift from GOD if you only believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
8. Believes in every word of GOD to be true.
9. Who loves the LORD, their GOD with all their heart, soul and mind.
10. Who loves their neighbor as themselves.

The book of Romans in the bible is a good place to start reading about all this good stuff.
