I give, Lucky Day. I went through your answers and your questions. You are either a cynical (but fairly clever) Christian or an aetheist. Perhaps a bit of an antagonist?

Do you like killing small animals, wetting your bed, starting fires or attending Satanic rituals just for fun? Then you are not a Christian. Do you not believe in anything? Then you are an Atheist, not a Christian. Did your soul go up on the roof and not come down? Then you are a frisbee-terian! LOL1 If you are a good person and don't go out of your way to hurt people but don't like sitting in church, you are probably spiritual. If you have a turban piled up high on your head and make your women cover their faces and walk behind you and carry a machine gun around like a purse, you are not a Christian. If you are Roman Catholic, you are not a Christian.
Christians usually base their beliefs on Jesus, a man who walked this Earth and became a martyr for his spirituality at the hands of the Holy Roman Empire (Catholic). The followers of Jesus Christ were hence, Christians.

A Christian is someone who accepted Christ as their Savior, by admitting your need for a Savior, and asking him to forgive you of your sins, and repent- which means turning away from your former way of life, and following after the things of God. If you have done this you are a Christian. Repentance comes before you can be a believer, and after that you will desire to do the things that please the Lord. Works cannot save, but once saved you will want to do works that lead to producing fruits of righteousness.

Go to church tonight and ask the pastor to pray with you to accept Christ. Then you will be saved and know yo are a Christian. However, there is more than the prayer of salvation to make you a Christian...it's the way you live your life.

A Christian will have true faith, which, according to the Heidelberg catechism, Lord's Day #7, is "not only a knowledge and conviction that everything God reveals in his Word is true; it is also a deep-rooted assurance, created in me by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel that, out of sheer grace earned for us by Christ, not only others, but I too, have had my sins forgiven, have been made forever right with God, and have been granted salvation.
Hope that answers your question.

It's a process over time, it's not going to happen overnight. But there are steps to take. First pray and ask the Father into your heart (mind) and life. Ask for change of you. Ask for guidance and direction. Ask for forgiveness of your sins. Do all this in Jesus name (authority).
Come to the reality that as long as you dwell in the flesh body you are going to fall short. All are sinners. Repentance is a change of mind not a license to sin. Perfection is maturity or full age in His Word. We are to produce fruit and glorify Christ.
His Word is an life learning process. Trust this man or no man unless you check it out in His Word. I've been at it earnestly for 16 years. I'm producing fruit but feel I'm still in the process. Don’t clean house (clean up your act) without filling that void with the Word of God.
Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
By the way, born again means born from above, check it out.

Well, that's a good question. If you were you wouldn't be asking yourself which makes me think you are not one...
You could try start going to a church, you'd love it, best thing that happened to me was to know Jesus. He's the truth, the way and the life.
God bless you :)

When you are brainwashed into believing that Jesus Christ the Lord is your savior and you hate everyone else that isn't in your tight Christian center blowing your money every sunday to the church and believing that Dinosaurs lived the same time with Christians 10,000 years ago blowing up abortion doctors and clinics and beliving in Ted Haggard who pays for homosexual sex yet is married and a bigot towards gays.

When you learn how to lie while smiling.
Kill non believers.
Become a racist and a Bigot.
Believe in a flying non existing Jew.
And follow blindly any fool who says he is a messenger of God.
