Well, according to those scriptures, we must also participate in the world wide preaching work of God's coming Kingdom and the good news along with it.
Just as Jesus and his followers did. They preached publicly, from house to house, and wherever they found people. So we must also do the same and preach about the Good news of God's Kingdom and the wonderful affect it will have on God's faithful servants.

A Christian is a Christian because he or she puts their trust in God through Jesus Christ. Nothing can get in the way of that once it's accomplished. God promises things in the Bible and a Christian will believe it. They trust God to fulfill His word, whatever God says, he will do.
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
hence, many of us are here. . .
and
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
And so it is beginning. I remember some missionaries were saying that Chad was as yet unpreached to. Perhaps the current refugee situation is causing a change in that way?

Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.
1 John 1:5a. Now this is God's grace, whosoever believers.
But you are making a distinction between a spiritual Christian
and a carnal Christian. Like the Christians that Paul rebuked in
Corinth. Some of us live our lives by the Scriptures and others
live just like a non-believers. So, this lesson is not to judge
because we are not God and can't see the heart of one who
believes in His Son. Any questions e-mail me.

Nope, that's it. Just live the life because our lives are observed, watched very closely, by the unsaved.
"if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved." (Romans 10:9) (No ifs, ands or buts.)
The "great commission" you've referred to is to ALL followers of Christ.
Paul expounds on that somewhat by saying in 1 Cor 3:6, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." and in 2 Cor 9:6, "He that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully." The planting and sowing being sharing of the good news about Jesus.

The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—

We are called to be Disciples of Jesus.
Just as the 12 we are to spread the Good News.
When the last Gentile hears the Gospel then the end will come.
No will be able to say they never heard.

I am a believer in and follower of Jesus, the Christ. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, auntie and friend and in those roles, which God has placed me, I try to surrender my actions over to Him according to His guidence.
To call myself a CHRISTian is to profess the name of Jesus, our Christ in my life, and this means that I believe in Jesus as my personal Savior, and I, by the grace of God alone, have chosen to live my life as Jesus lived His. (I am a work in progress, which means I make mistakes).
I believe in all Jesus taught, no more and no less.
To believe in anything other than what Jesus taught is to be a follower of something other than Jesus, therefore I would not be worthy to call myself a follower of Jesus, our Christ, aka: a CHRISTian.

It means as a true worshiper of Jehovah as Jesus was, we must also preach and teach others about God's Kingdom and its benefits for all mankind.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter." Matthew 7:21
"So love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." Mark 12:30
The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." Mark 12:31

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
