Nothing. That's for God to figure out and judge. We should not be about labeling anybody, whether they be inside or outside of the Body of Christ.
Entrance into that Body is done by God in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. It's nothing we can do on our own (Eph. 2:8-9) - nothing we can "earn". Since it's all grace....those who are Christians are those who are Baptized.
We ought to leave the "good" and "bad" Christian judgments up to The Lord.

The difference between a good Christian and a bad one is obedience. The good person is by spirit living the life Jesus had instructed all humanity to live by. The bad Christian of course lives according to the fleshy desires of the world. The bad person will live the life that best suits them, not necessarily the lifestyle Jesus meant. Why is there good kids and bad kids, or good honest people and dishonest people? Good people are not only confined to a religion per se but humans in general are either good or bad.

A Good Christian shares your views. A Bad Christian are those that don't share your views. So, a Good Christian is only good to those that believe what they do; however, they are the Bad Christians for all those that don't believe the same. Got that?

Not sure in what context you mean.
To me, a "bad" Christian would be one that man believes to be a "Christian" but is actually a False Prophet, False Teacher, or the Anti-Christ....
I also think as "bad" Christian is one whom attacks and swears at people without realizing they are doing more harm then good by doing so.
LOL....my concept of a "good" Christian would probably differ from other points of view, but, in all honesty, I would classify Christians in a different way....complacent, comfortable, sleeping, eager, judgmental, bold, empathic, etc.,. all things that either need work on or are counted as blessings
Peace be with you :)

there are no good christians and bad christians. just regular christians. it says in the Bible that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". So all Christians, as all people, have sinned. every single Christian is technically a "bad" Christian, because noone is perfect. However if that Christian repents of his/her sins and turns away from their sins they are forgiven by God. SInce Jesus died on the cross for their sins, when God looks at a Christian, all he sees is His Son's blood covering their sins. u prolly got that idea from the world where there are fallen christians. these people have just gotten away from the things of God and turned to the world.

Bad Christians claim to be Christian and live in the world. To be Christian you live the WORD. You follow His law and show love toward everyone. I don't have time to list every thing, but just following the Bible will do it.

A good Christian really tries to let both conscience and knowledge of good and evil be his or her guide in making the right decisions in their life. A good Christian doesn't just accept Jesus as their Savior but try to emulate Him in all that they say or do, and follow a moral code not because they fear the punishment of sin, but simply have no desire in their hearts to hurt or harm their fellow residents (of any kind) on this planet.
A bad Christian is one who commits a crime of hate or evil in the name of Jesus for their own personal reasons or gain. A bad Christian is one who has been taught the truth and the way, and chooses to twist the truth to justify their bad behavior, or who simply does know better than to treat other people like that and does so anyway with complete disregard for the other person and all for the sake of selfishness and greed.
A good Christian truly loves Jesus and tries to follow Him, and tries to follow the admonition to "Love one another as I have loved you." A bad Christian is one who goes to church on Sunday and beats and berates his wife, kids, friends, and coworkers on Monday.

A good Christian believes in Christianity and what it stands for. They do not go around preaching to non christians that they are going to hell if they do not believe the same way that they do, They are willing to discuss their religion with other religions without condemming the other religion.
A bad Christian believes that their religion is the only religion that is good and right, They go around condeming non christians and people who do not think or act like them. Instead of sharing their religion with others they try to force feed their beliefs to others, If you disagree with them they say that you are doomed to go to hell,

You are bad if you claim you are Christian but do not go to church or follow God or pray. Good Christians do some of that.

There is no one good, no not even one. All sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God...which is why we needed a Savior. Any Christian should tell you that they are NOT a "good person" in the sense of righteousness. The only thing that makes us righteous is Jesus...not ourselves. Jesus did the work...we accepted the gift
