Christian: A sincere follower of Christ and His teachings, which by default means that you believe 1) God is passionately in love with his creation, man, and 2) man is in need of a saviour due to personal sins racked up over his lifetime (which he is incapable of atoning for due to the sheer amount of them), and 3) Jesus is that saviour because he is the son of God and therefore a) eternal and infinite, and b) thus able to take the judgement for an infinite amount of sins committed by an infinite amount of people. So, if you accept what Jesus has done, you reap the eternal benefits of a slate wiped clean, which, among other things, means a living relationship with your creator. Quite incredible!

i believe a christian is someone who believes in god and has come to know that Jesus died on the cross for the world so that they can choose to be with god forever through Jesus Christ , i believe it is a Christians responsibility to be a light in the world of darkness and tell people about Jesus . i also believe that it is not an easy road to follow because its a struggle against evils and yourself to be closer to god . but Jesus said when you build a house do you not count the cost ahead of time

There is no one answer to this. Some are caring, loving people who strive to do good works and love others. Then there are those who are mean spirited, hateful people who try to impose their will on others. Others fill the range between these two extremes.

A Christian is a person who has been taught most likely from birth. That fantasy is real. That there actually was a man called Jesus who was a living God and who died two thousand years ago and is going to return soon and save the world and anyone who believes in him will be saved and live forever. Pure nonsense.

Christian is a term to denote a follower of Jesus. This term is misapplied by religious folks today who clearly show no understanding of what Jesus taught and practiced.

A true Christian is one who doesn't worship Jesus(PBUH*) as a God in place of ALLAH(SWT). A true Christian is one who follows strict monotheism and someone who strives hard in the cause of God and isn't focused on material gains in this life. I think of Christians today as Polytheists who don't worship only God and worship three different Gods. I think of Christians today are not the Christians of Jesus(PBUH*) Christianity. I think they changed the status of Prophet Jesus(PBUH*) as a Prophet up to "son of God" and then up to "God" to make themselves happy. I personally don't understand why you need an intercessor for God. Which is why I left Christianity and became a Muslim 1 year ago.

The only real "Christian" is Jesus Christ.
The rest of us are believers in the Christian.
Being a "Christian" means to live a life and that life is Christ's life. He is the only one who ever successfully lived that life. I try to live it, but I fail miserably everyday.

A Christian is one who believes solely on Christ for their salvation. Plain and simple.
