I am christian, curious, to Me I define it as to become Christ-Like. I am doing what I can to share Gods Word, teach salvation, Pray and uplift others. I myself will not judge others, however do to I am not perfect, & I am a sinner and praise GOD for Salvation & forgiveness. I am saved .I believe we are to exalt , worship GOD!, I am also a Sunday school teacher for children. But I dont believe we go to Heaven because we do good works, we go to heaven Because of JESUS!

You're absolutely right. We go to heaven b/c of Jesus. So you want me to define Christian...ok the literal meaning of the word is someone who follows Christ, and tries their best to live the way He did. Many get the word Christian confused w/ only believing in Christ. We know that's not enough, even the devil believes.
We, as Christians, need to show everyone love by telling them how to be saved, or teaching salvation, like you put it. I think that's the best way to show someone love, showing them the way out of hell!
Keep up shining your light.
God bless.

Christian in the bible was one who knew the bible Acts 7:1-60; 13:17-23; Heb.4:12; Heb.11:1-40; John 1:14; 10:34-36; 12:47,48;
Then when one knew the bible, he was able to teach the bible. Matt.28:18,20; Jesus taught his disciples from his age of 30 until his death. Acts 1:15; 2:1-4; 4:13 All had to know they had been with Jesus. Acts 11:26; They taught much people. Philip.2:5,9-12;
Indeed the mind of Christ is what is needed. John 3:16; John 17:3;

That is exactly what a Christian is. A person who is Christ like. Jesus is the only way to heaven. God bless you.

A Christian is one who does God's will through the Holy Ghost .
They receive the Holy Ghost when they repent of their sins and ask Jesus for the remission of their sins and surrender their will over to the Lord. They become a slave to Jesus, so to speak.
What do we do?
We do God's will lead by the Holy Ghost. To preach and baptize and heal and cast out demons are some of those things we do. But to name it all, there is no room to name it all here :)

You are mostly correct. amen. BUt you refer to yourself as a sinner. cuz you say you arent perfect. God so clearly tells us because of the forgiveness of Jesus, we are not to call ourselves sinners, we are to be called Saints of God, and to live our lives as Jesus would, trying to be Christlike by allowing God to show us how to do that. Its not our good works that save us. Its only by the grace of God thru Jesus.The gift is free. BUt holding onto that gift can take much effort on our part. Not striving to be good enough for God, but allowing Him to show us what He required for us to get thru to victory. God says obedience leads to blessing and disobedience leads to curse, and when we do, He will see us as perfect in His eyes. Thank GOd for grace.
Never call yourself a sinner again. THose not forgive can say that. Now, go on to sin no more. You asked what is the definition of a Christian. That is someone that follows Jesus Christ, loves HIm enough to Obey Him, to sacrifice for Him as He does us. Its not just believeing, even the devil believes. We must obey and live like Jesus . amen

My definition of a christian is a person who believes in GOD and who tries to show love to others and helps people less fortunate than they are.GOD put us here on earth to see how we take care of each other and to teach us to care for each other. Good luck with your sunday school class.

Your about to leave your friends for a long time. Your final word to them may be your last words to them for a long time. Would they be important? Of course they would. What were Christ last words to his friends?
Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

A Christian is someone who is born again according to Romans 10:9-13.
We should witness about Jesus everywhere we go and whenever we can.

"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds." (Titus 2:11-14)
