I'm not sure if I have or not but there are good people who are not Christians. Being a Christian should make them better but a person can do good things without believing in christ. works does not get us into heaven, believing on Christ does but we are to be know by our fruits. The Bible says that no one is good (Romans, I think) so you really can't compare the two. Good doesn mean being a Christian and bad doesn't mean being a non Christian.

Yes, certainly. If "Christ-like" means behaving in a manner like Christ did, then I have met a Jew and a Muslim who could be described this way. Both were the most selfless people I've ever met.

Yes, many times. Most of the Christ-like people I know are non-Christians, you are one of the three Christ-like Christians that I have met...

Met...no, but I really don't know many spiritual people at all.
Religious, but not spiritual.
Of course, I have not met any Christians that I could describe as "Christ-like" either.

Abso-freakin-lutely.
Jesus is the great example, not the great exception.
Part of His message was that we are capable of doing things just as great, if not greater than Him.
Being a Christian does not make someone Christ-like and at the same time, possessing the same qualities as Jesus and being a beautiful Child of God does not carry a pre-requisite of being a Christian.

Not yet, but i've heard of one. And even Martin Luther King acknowledge this person.
Martin Luther himself wrote:
"I came to see for the first time," wrote King, "that the
Christian doctrine of love, operating through the Gandhian method of nonviolence, is one of the most potent weapons available of an oppressed people in their struggle for freedom."
"I believe in some marvelous way," he wrote further, "God worked through Gandhi, and the spirit of Jesus Christ saturated his life. It is ironic, yet inescapably true that the greatest Christian of the modern world was a man who never embraced Christianity."

Yes I have. I once went to church for a time at the Brethren church, a sect much like the Amish. They had Christ in their hearts and it showed. I have also met Buddhist monks with the same quality. This Divinity is not confined to one belief and it is Universal.

Sure all the time.
This will sound mean but I really don't mean it to. Christians think they have the corner market in good deeds. But anyone with a good heart can do things that are "christlike". Its not restricted to those who follow him. Its really sad that some ppl think that. They miss the forest for the trees.

Take Gandhi for example. He was not Christian, but showed more of Christ's example than most "Christians" today.

Yes there are plenty of non-christian people who speak up against authority and debunk oppressive regimes and go out and spread the good news that authentic power and freedom resides within you, and they will fight to the end for their cause no matter the consequences, even death
