A lot of people can say they are "Christians" but to me it is not about the title of being called a christian. It is praying and having a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is loving the unlovable, and accepting people and trying to be a witness, and bearing good fruit. If we act hateful, because people don't believe the way I do, then....why would they want what I claim to have. God is love, and if we don't show love then why would people want it.Being a Christian is walking the walk and talking the talk and backing up your words with action. It means loving people who are hurt, confused, depressed, and don't know where to turn. It means not condemning people for their mistakes. Ultimately, everyone just wants someone to love them. They will look every where for it. Being a christian, is being christ like.

The term can be be used by many. So this is my belief:
I believe that right is right and wrong is no where.
I believe in treating others as I would want them to treat me.
I believe that each has the right to choose what is right for them, and that they have a right to have those choices be respected even if not agreed with.
I believe in helping those that can not help themselves.
I believe in working for what you get, and for not being jealous of what others have.
I believe in honesty being the best policy.
I believe in faith and hope
It is never enough to talk the talk, and not be able to walk the walk.

Ohhhhh, so much..... but let me try ....... 1. KNOWING that Jesus died, was buried and arose for ME and YOU !!! He paid for my sins and I am now a citizin of Heaven..... I put God before ANY earthly being or thing..... I live to serve Him as best I can, and strive each day to do it better than the day before.... To spread not only His Word but all that He is, glory, love, trust, grace, mercy...... I define myself as 1. A child of God 2. A Christian 3. wife 4. mother 5. grandmother 6. daughter 7. sister, and each of these *parts* of me are made better because of Christ !!!!! Christ hides me in God so I am NOT a part of satans' earth !!!!!! A Christian feeds, clothes, puts their arms around, hugs, holds, crys', laughs, be silent, what needs to be done to/for/with a brother or sister or stranger....... go in peace..... God bless

Being a Christian means that I have committed my life to Jesus. I try (and often fail) to live my life the way He would want me to, but I know that I can ask Him for forgiveness and He will grant it. I also know that I have a place in Heaven cos he paid the price for my sin and wrongdoing. I am not perfect, but He is, and it is that perfection that God sees. I also know that He is coming back and believe that it may not be very long before He does.

Ah, Christianity. The greatest work of fiction since Superfudge.

I am a person that believes in God and believes that he sent His son as a living example of what we are supposed to be here on earth. I believe Jesus died for me and I believe that I should exhibit all the characteristics he had and try to help as many people as I can while I am here.

Each and every Christian has a different interpretation.
As an agnostic, I find it to mean people who claim to have answers to unanswerable questions.

To be Christ.
The same as being Buddha for Buddhists.

For me it means taking seriously the teachings of Christ. Christ's teachings show us how to stay centered on God.
It means experiencing Christ in the present.
