I've noticed that each person who considers themselves a Christian has very different characteristics. Most seem to have a very kind and loving attitude....while others seem more focused on the details of their traditions or church structure or whatever.
I'm just curious to see if other people notice this too.

There are christians who say they are but do not do the will of God, that is the big difference. A true christian does the will of God on a daily basis and thrives to become like Jesus.

Yes it true. There are fake Christians, ture-Christians who live by God's rules and don't follow just one or two but all of them. There are the one day Christians, (the ones that consider themslves Christians, just for going to church on Sundays). And many others. I wish everyone was a true Christian, cuz it makes me mad when i see people at my school who smoke and drink and do drugs, have sex w/ their bf or gf or anyone and swear adn have bad values and say, "Oh yeah i am a Christian, i rep God". I am like "what??" They are such hypocrites and it makes me mad. People (alot) have this disticntion that just going to church adn being good is goign to bring them to Heaven and thats not true. They live OF the world, and God specificallys ays in the Bible to not do that. They listen to secular music and even dance to them. Rep the hip-hop designers clothed, which means that they are representing the artists. Why can't people just folllow like Jesus and stop saying they are Christians just for going to church?

Yes I have. In several responses to questions, I tend to use quotes when speaking of " Christians ". I do this as to not to offend the actually Christians who should not be help accountable to the evil that these people do in God's name.

Depends on the person. I find Christians filled with a sense of love and forgiveness are far greater than those filled with justice and judgement.
God Bless, and have a good weekend :)

I am Christians myself, I am not criticising them, my experience is some Christians are Christ-like when in church but as soon as in public their "evil horn" appear.

Yes, you are exactly correct. Unfortunately, those who are sincerely Christ-like seem to be the minority.
Blessed Be

Christianity is just like human growth we go thru stages.

it's just a reflection of society as a whole, not just christians.
some people are more concerned with social works, some with converting non-believers and quoting scripture.

It's true for everyone -- all faiths and no faith.
