Christian: One who believes in God and in his son, Jesus. Who follows (or really tries to follow) the example of Christ and live by the bible.

I assume you mean: "What is the definition of a Christian?" A Christian is a person who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who believes that Jesus died for his sins, was buried in a tomb and was raised on the third day. A christian believes that through the blood of Jesus he has been born again, that like Jesus he has been raised a new creation in Christ, and that he has the promise of eternal life in heaven. He has traded in his pride for humility and has agreed to let God run his life.

I am a Christian. A Christian has accepted Jesus as Lord. Jesus is God, born as a baby, grew to be a man, died on the cross, was dead and came back to life again. Jesus took our place of judgment for sin, so we can be innocent, and free from judgment that we deserve.

A christian by definition is one who believes in Jesus as the messiah and savior. However, there is more entailed in actually being a christian as opposed to simply going by a title. To be a true christian you are supposed to live your life by Jesus' example. This in itself is proof of christians as the tree will bear good fruit if it is a good tree.

I think a Christian is any person that follows the teachings of the Young Carpenter. The religion OF Jesus

In that way I could consider myself a Christian


Other people say to be a Christian; one must believes the bible is the literal word of God, Jesus was the ONLY son of God, and be a member of a Christian church, Jesus died for our sins.

Under that criteria; I consider myself a devout pagan because I have little or no respect for the religion ABOUT Jesus.

Christianity is a religion based upon the teachings and miracles of Jesus. Jesus is the Christ. The word "christ" means anointed one. Christ is not Jesus' last name. Jesus is the anointed one from God the Father who came to this world, fulfilled the Old Testament laws and prophecies, died on the cross, and rose from the dead physically. He performed many miracles which were recorded in the Gospels by the eyewitnesses. He is divine in nature as well as human. Thus, He has two natures and is worthy of worship and prayer.
Christianity teaches that there is only one God in all existence, that God made the universe, the Earth, and created Adam and Eve. God created man in His image. This does not mean that God has a body of flesh and bones. Image means the likeness of God's character, rationality, etc. Because we are made in the image of God, every person is worthy of respect and honor. Furthermore, this means that we did not evolve through random processes from a single celled organism into rational, emotional beings.
God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden of Eden and gave them the freedom to choose between right and wrong. They chose to sin. Sin is doing that which is contrary to the nature and will of God. For example, God cannot lie; therefore, lying is sin. The sin of disobeying God that Adam and Eve committed resulted in them being expelled from the Garden of Eden as well as suffering the effect of death.
As a result of their sin, their children and all of us inherited a sinful nature. In other words, our offspring are not perfect in nature -- we don't have to teach children to be selfish. They know it naturally. That which is sinful cannot produce that which is not sinful.
Christianity teaches that God is a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not three Gods), that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity, that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead physically, that all people are under the righteous judgment of God because all people have sinned against God. It teaches that Jesus is the only way to be saved from the coming judgment of God and that salvation is received by faith in the work of Christ on the cross and not by anything that we can do to please God.
Where all other religions in the world teach that we must do some sort of good in cooperation with God in order to achieve the right to be in God's presence, Christianity is the only religion that teaches salvation by grace. This means that we are not made right before God by our efforts, sincerity, or works. Instead, we are made right before God by faith in what Christ did on the cross.
Christianity further teaches that once a person is "born again" (becomes saved) that the Holy Spirit lives in that person and the person is changed: "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come," (2 Cor. 5:17). This means that God actually lives in the person and the Christian then experiences a true and living relationship with God.
Therefore, "What is Christianity?" is best answered by saying that it is a relationship with the true and living God through the person of Jesus Christ by whom we are forgiven of our sins and escape the righteous judgment of God.
