Christian mean to me that Christ died for my sins. He was the Christ and was God manifested in flesh and became a man so He could suffer and die for our sins. He was God because He rose again the third day for our justification. Philippians 2: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

To me the word christian doesn't necessarily mean you participate in organized religion. I think it's more of a life style. I think anyone who believes in Jesus and what he stood for could be considered a christian. There are many different religions that don't agree with each other but are all a part of Christianity. To me it's all whats in your heart.

the word Christian, to me, means a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity on the other hand is another way of Fund Raising.

Any person who believes in Christ as the Savior is to be considered as "Christian". As to what a true Christian is, read the New Testament.

The actual meaning of the word "Christian" is "Christ-Like" and as we all know how accurate this description is for the Christians today....

True Christian = A follower of Jesus Christ
Nominal Christian = a Christian by name, but not nature
Cordially,

To be perfectly honest...I feel like it means someone who thinks they know it all and are better then everyone else. Or at least that's my basic feeling of the word...

It means believing in Jesus and that He died for my sins. It means being loving and accepting and forgiving. It means peace and knowing I will be spending eternity with God.
