Yes, I love Jesus. And I intend to remain that way throughout eternity. The purpose of my life is to be conformed to the image of Christ in character and power. I really want to hear Him say to me on that day, "well done".

Yes, I am a Christian. I believe a Christian is anyone who follows the teachings of the Bible and Jesus. A Christian is someone who above all things, loves God and has a desire to do things His way. (Even though we often fall short of what our goal is) A Christian realizes God is Love and all the rules and the Bible information is to keep us safe, because He loves us! A Christian longs for a better life, one without sadness, pain, illness and hate.

i define a Christian as someone who is there to share Christs love. i know people that have been judged by Christians and think they are the worst people in the world. but once they found out i was a Christian they were amazed at how easily i accepted them. i think it is all a matter of loving someone....but not loving them and viewing them as something bad but give them the love that Christ gave us.

The word "Christian" means a follower of Jesus Christ.
To me, that is someone who has:
1. Admitted they are a sinner
2. Agrees that Jesus is God who died for their sins.
3. Believes that Jesus rose from the dead.
4. Has asked Jesus to forgive their own sins.
5. Has received Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
6. Lives their life according to the above.

I was a Christian until about the age of 10. Once I gained abstract reasoning abilities, Christianity and religion in general just seemed like a bunch of bunk. People who stay Christian must have a higher tolerance for bunk than I do.
Christian--A theist who has accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior.
By this definition, why do I think it's full of bunk? Because it requires you to make a lot of assumptions you can't prove, such as:
The existence of a God that is concerned with human affairs
The existence of a historical Jesus (a topic of much debate)
The ability and inclination for God to reproduce
That Jesus was the son of God
That God actually gives a crap about your individual life
That God is good, loving and omni-everything
And so on...

No. Asatru Heathen
I define Christian as someone who follows the faith of Christianity as outlined in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, specifically one who believes that Jesus Christ (as described in the New Testament) is a savior deity and their only path to enlightenment and spiritual salvation of their soul.

I am a Child of God.
A true Christian is a person who has put his or her faith and trust in the person of Jesus Christ and fact that He died on the cross as payment for sins and rose again on the third day to obtain victory over death and to give eternal life to all who believe in Him. John 1:12 tells us: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” A true Christian is indeed a child of God, a part of God’s true family, and one who has been given new life in Christ. The mark of a true Christian is love for others and obedience to God’s Word (1 John 2:4; 1 John 2:10).

I believe myself to be a Christian. To me it means living my life to the best of my ability, helping others when I can, living by the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule. I use the Bible as a roadmap and guidebook to help me until my journey on Earth is finished.
