A mature Christian is someone who has been a Christian for a while and who also devotes alot of time for study and reading of scripture.
It doesn't mean that they know and recite scripture, any one can do that and in the wrong context. A Mature Christian can be described as someone who has a good understanding and vast knowledge about scripture. Anyone can quote CS. Lewis or TOZER or WIGGLESWORTH, doesn't make them any better of a Christian, just means that they follow the old time religious scholars...

A mature Christian is someone who is a good strong Christian. Someone who has a good foundation in their walk with God. They usually have been a Christian for a while because this type of relationship does not happen over night. A "young" Christian is someone who is a new believer or who has not increased their relationship past the point it was when it was new. Being a Christian is more than just asking Christ to be in charge - it is a relationship that happens all day every day.

To me, a mature Christian is one who has a good understanding of the Bible, for some this does not take a very long time but for others it can take a lifetime.
Having the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a great help in becoming mature but many people become mature without His baptism.

I think a "mature" Christian is someone who has been a Christian for a long time. Is well aquainted with Christian ideals, and has the maturity to express their ideals and beliefs in a way that does not bash other faiths, but is still true to their own beliefs.

Nope.
A mature Christian is one who has been in the faith long enough to know that NON CHRISTIANS have no idea of what Christianity is all about and in most cases do not care to know.
They understand that non Christians can live a different but happy life style than Christians do.
A MATURE CHRISTIAN IS NOT A BIBLE THUMPER!

A mature Christian is someone who has come into maturity in the faith, not necessarily the amount of years someone has been a Christian, but one who abides in the Lord and seek to do His will. Is humble, and a servant of all like Jesus.

Catholics are the unique Christians. the 1st church, which Christ began became the Catholic church. For the 1st thousand years, there became basically one Christian Church. In 1054, it split into 2 branches, the eastern Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church. there have been in basic terms 2 Christian branches for yet another 500 years. In 1518, Martin Luther began a third branch, Protestantism. The third branch splintered into many denominations. you're probable recognizing that Catholics are no longer Protestants. the unique Christian Church continues to be Catholic. The Amish is actual certainly one of the various Protestant denominations. Jehovah Witnesses are no longer a Protestant denomination yet an offshoot of Christianity with the aid of fact they suspect Jesus is the angel Michael and not the Son of God.

a real mature Christian is someone who by exercising the Word of God in their life has learned to do the things that Christ did. Christ loved unconditionally. He walked in power and authority. In addition, He did supernatural feats. Anyone who has matured in Christ will start to exhibit the same abilities as Christ, including to move in the supernatural. You will see this also in Mark 16:15.

What's a "mature" Christian?
One that has learned the true meaning of the word.
One that has the wisdom and understanding of all the books.
One that believes the word as it is written and could care less the traditions of man.
One that if so far from the level of "Jesus Saves" that they understand that!
One that knows Why!
