A follower of Christ. This is a person who does all of the works of the Christ and teaches people about things in the Bible, just like he did. (2 Pet. 2:21; Matthew 28:19, 20; John 13:35; 17:3; Acts 15:28, 29)

You want so everything was plain and clear ? All the New Testament is about what is it to be a Christian. I'm not authorized to write one more Gospel for you. Read for yourself, dear or else you can be deceived. Different people tell many different things and in the Holy Scripture the Word is undiluted.

The world's definition: a person who claims the title, goes to church at Christmas and/or Easter, and has a Bible somewhere in the house, under a protective coating of dust.
The Bible's definition: a follower of Christ, who has adopted his teachings, accepted his salvation, and strives to be a servant of God.

A Christian is a person who has the indwelling Holy Spirit and thereby believes that Christ is God, that he resurrected from the dead (and is alive today) and was born of a virgin (establishing his sinless nature)
1 Corinthians 3:16; '... do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?'
Romans 8:9; '... however, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.'

A christian is anyone who claims to be a christian until such time as their bad behavior has been exposed. At that time (depending on the perceived severity of the bad behavior), they become not a "true" christian, or a christian that has been tempted by satan, but now is forgiven.
