I know it is not a matter of opinion, it is truth. I only ask because on some of the other questions and answers on this site, there are some really rude and unkind things said.
I must say, overall, GREAT RESPONSES brothers and sisters on this question.
The rudeness hasn't found its way here just yet.

It's not an opinion, the Bible makes it clear that we will display the fruits of the spirit if we are saved. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and sself-control.

The word "Christian" means Christ-like, does it not? I think we (true born again believers) should try to be as much like God as possible. Doesn't mean we'll always succeed, after all, even Paul wrote that the things he doesn't want to do he does and vice versa.

1Pe 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your earthly residence in fear,
1Pe 1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers,
1Pe 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;
1Pe 1:20 indeed having been foreknown before the foundation of the world, but revealed in the last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 those believing in God through Him, He who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Pe 1:22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,
1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever.
1Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out,
1Pe 1:25 but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you.

A true born again Christian does not sin. (First John somewhere). Since that excludes everybody, there is nothing such as a true born again Christian.

i would expect a true born again christian to act as much like Jesus acted in the new testament as possible and when they failed to act that way they would recognize that fact and attempt to grow

To be truly sorry and repent of your sins.
The nature to please God Be God centered not self centered.
And to use your gifts, talents, abilities, and strengths to help others with the blessings God has given you.
To know Jesus cares for you even when you feel overlooked or underappreicated.

For one thing, they never, ever, lie.
It is a spiritual walk in love and truth.
