1. The God that we worship came down from heaven to live among men.
2. He lived and died according to the scriptures.
3. He rose from the dead after being crucified.
4. Scriptures record that He was seen by hundreds after His resurrection.
The difference in Christianity from all other religions is that we worship a living God, Jesus, the Christ.

Christianity is different on a few aspects.
1) It is the only religion that had prophets who fortold the coming of Jesus thousands of years in advance.
2) the bible is the only book that science can't prove wrong, in fact the bible proves science right.
3) Christianity is based on love, have you ever noticed other religions say convert or we will kill you. Well a Christian will never say that, The Crusades that were done in the name of GOD may have been done in His name but they were in no way Christian. GOD will never kill anyone for just not believing and that's what happened in the crusades.
4) Christianity is the only one where all of the prophecies fortold actually happened.
5) Christianity has eye witness accounts to Christ's suffering and to the miracles that were done, I've personally seen some in my life.
6) Christianity is the only one breathed by GOD, some man did not make it up. It's every word is true.
7) Christianity is the only religion where its believers are persecuted and made fun of on television
8) its the only one where its beliefs are now considered hate crimes (against homosexuallity)
9) and its the only one where its beliefs are being removed from the public eye (the removal of the 10 commandments.

All other religions demands you to DO something.
In Christianity, Salvation is offered as a free but not cheep gift..so it is DONE for your Salvation. You want to do good, but you do not get saved by your deeds, only through mercy and grace of God.
Jesus is only God, He is the one who lived here on the earth, died and conquered the death and rose up. There was a prophecy about Him in the Old Testament, and He fulfilled the prophecy and did what He told He would do. So we know that He is able to wake us up if we die before He comes 2nd time.

The one basic difference between true Christianity and all other religions is works. You cannot work your way or earn salvation in Christianity in anyway and you can't add anything to it, it is all a work of Christ given to you as a free gift. Even your faith so that you can believe is a gift. All other religions and all false Christian religions have some sort of works in order to be saved.

Grace. No other belief system believes in salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. They all have works based salvation. Grace or unmerited favor from God is only found in Christianity.
The person, Jesus Christ. All other beliefs are based on philosophies or some imperfect humans theological bent. Christianity is based on Christ, His life, death and resurrection.

Christianity beleives Jesus is the son of God, Judaism doesn't accept Jesus in anyway, Islam sees him as a prophet. Any other religion is a totally different belief.

Christianity is the only religion who believes it's Founder is God. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and equal to God the Father and God the Spirit.
Christians also uniquely believe that there is one God and three Persons.

There are some specific points of difference. Current mainstream Christian dogma says that God killed his kid as a sacrifice for the sins of humankind. But for it to work, you have to believe it works. That's about it. There are some denominational differences like dunking or droplets but those are trivial issues.

Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
"King of Kings" was found 3 times in 3 verses in the New Testament.
1 Timothy 6:15 - Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Revelation 17:14 - These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16 - And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

True Christians have love amongst themselves and this includes refusing to learn war or prejudice or nationalism. All others claiming to be Christian will be told by Christ at Armegeddon, "I never knew you."
