I would rephrase the question to What is a good Christian? A follower of Jesus Christ is a Christian. A person who believes the Bible to be the 100% true, inerrant Word of God - that gives us guidelines and encouragement for daily living. God's Word is how God speaks to us. Starting with the very first book of the Bible - Genesis to be true and actual history. To obey the commands God sets before us, to come to Him with a repentant heart when we have sinned, to know that when we die we will be with God for eternity if we believe that His Son Jesus Christ is who He said He is. There's so much more!!!! The closer you come to Jesus Christ, the more you realize how pathetic you are as a human compared to His holiness and goodness - knowing that we don't deserve anything but hell - and He has come to make a way for us to be forgiven - through the shed blood of Jesus Christ - and proving Himself to be God by rising from the dead. Nothing we can do as humans can earn our way to heaven. If you confess with you mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heat that God raied Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED!!!

"There is no one that is good but God."
"all sin and fall short of the glory of God"
I read that Billy Graham rated himself as a Christian, 10 being the best. His rating was a 3!
If he rates a 3 I'm -50. Good thing For Gods Grace eh?

The concept of a good Christian is not Biblical.
Jesus said 'No-one is good except God alone" (Luke 18:19). "Unless you come as little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:3). Read the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14).
Paul repeatedly said that there was nothing good about him, except Christ living in him, which was only by grace; he didn't deserve it, in spite of all his great deeds for God.

I'm afraid it's not me.
I prefer to think that I can be a good person without benefit of religion---just because it's the right thing to do, and not because I fear "God" or hellfire.

I try to be, and hope that I am. But it isn't for me to say or decide.
