Well, I am a Christian, and I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for my sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. I have accepted His atonement for my sins, have been baptized, and have been born again by His Spirit. I love others because I have the love of God in me. I take what He had to say about judging others very seriously, so while I may disagree with someone's lifestyle, I leave the judgment up to Him. It's very important to me as a Christian to live my life as an example of Christ's love and compassion so they will see His light glowing in me and be drawn to Him. God bless you!!!

Any person who has followed the plan of salvation. See Acts 2:38-9.

A Christian is someone who repents of their sins and accepts the forgiveness of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Attributes? They must love God with all their heart, all their mind, all their soul, and all their strength. Everything else will flow from that.

A christian is someone who asked Jesus to be in their heart but they have to really mean it. If they don't go to church after doing that they are still a christian but it helps build your faith a lot to go to church.

I define a Christian as someone who believes that the Bible is true, believes in God as described in the Bible, and believes that Jesus is their savior.

A Christian is a follower of Christ, imitator of Christ, one who believes as Christ believed, loves as Christ loves, forgives as Christ forgave. When you meet a real Christian, you know you have met someone who really loves HIM.

Christ-like.
Read the Bible to know how Christ was/is/always will be.
