Thats because so-called Christians only want to here what makes them feel good, that way they don't look at themsleves. As Peter says, "Walk in circumspect", meaning to always examine yourself for the things which is sin, habits, words, deeds. Christians are following and worshipping religous legalisms and doind the right things, this is the failure of religions, it doesn't matter about being right or doing right, it's about having a right heart. God never says things like, " I know what kind of good things they have done", instead His focus is, "Let my Word be written in the hearts of men." When Christians wake up and find out they have been following religion instead of Christ, they will be very miserable, mostly because it will be too late.

How would you know an unmoveable, firm,GOD fearing Christian when you heard one?
Do you mean unmoveable, firm, GOD fearing like Mel Gibson? Or unmoveable, firm, GOD fearing like Jimmy Swaggart? Or Jim Bakker? Pat Robertson? Jerry Falwell? Oral Roberts?
I mean, what code words do they have to say to reveal themselves (other than "send my ministry your Social Security checks and I will pray God will send you a Buick")?

Unfortunately, no one here really knows. In fact, no one in the world really knows. As you've seen, there are about as many opinions of what it means to be a real Christian as there are Christians and maybe a few more.
To me, being a good Christian, means modeling your life after the principles of Jesus, not worshiping the religion about him. Jesus was accepting, forgiving and caring, qualities lost in so many worshipers of the religion about Jesus, who seem to be greedy, judgmental and exclusionary. I think one person who achieved this well was Mother Theresa.

my friend, a real Christian doesn't do religion! There is only one religion, and that is Jesus Christ! Not man-made rules, by-laws, etc. God's Word is Religion!
Why do you think there are so many religions? Because they are man-made, what's convenient for that person is the religion he chooses, which is a man-made religion.
If we chose God's Way, there would be no other way! Look at the verses below:
2Ti 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4
And they shall turn away * their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Im not a Christain, and I am still going to answer this question so that I can point out something that SHOULD be obvious to you - you have just JUDGED everyone on this site, quite contrary to the teachings of your savior. So, apparently, not even yourself is a very good Christian.....
Thanks, thanks very much for the applaudes.....

Yes I do. You're free to read my answers and make your own descision as to whether I'm a true Christian or not.

You are prejudiced against people who are not Christian. Last time I checked, in Jesus' day, the established churches rejected him, and many in society thought he was weird. It's funny how the people who supposedly follow him live like those who were against him.

Loving God worshiping him. Loving your neighbours. Spreading the word of God?

Loving The Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Question is to vague. Are you looking for a definition, or what it means to us personally?
