For example: If I believe I am a Christian, then I am a Christian. If I believe I am Fat, then I am fat to myself correct? What we believe becomes our reality.

True in some ways, false in some ways. Your examples are certainly true, but I can believe that I will survive falling off of the Sears Tower all I want and it still won't be true.

Not necessarily what you "believe", or what your thoughts are about something, but it's usually what you SAY, what you SPEAK out loud to yourself and to others, THAT becomes real, what you SAY becomes real for you. If you get other people to agree with you, you have a lot of agreement that such-and-such is so, is TRUE, is real, then what you have is reality. You can "believe" you can fly, but unless you get agreement from other people that you can fly, guess what? You CAN'T fly! So, having a belief or a thought become REALITY for you and for others means that you've gotten some agreement about it and therefore, to that degree, it's real, it's reality. This is basically the premise for ancient magick, whereby one SPEAKS something into existence by making it real, but it's not supernatural. Besides that, the Bible says that "in the beginning was the Word......." the WORD is a spoken word. Genesis says that God spoke, and said, "let there be......" blahblahblah..........I dont believe in this kind of "god" but the point being made is an old occult principle, it's an ancient occult premise that you are what you speak, what you say can become reality, what you speak can become manifest physically. There are lots of examples of this in the Bible. The story about Jesus teaching how you can say to the mountain, "Be removed!"........?well, that was a teaching about SPEAKING, and having INTENTION and ACTION. Just speaking something once and taking no action around it, and having no intention or committment that the thing manifest, that will NOT get you any reality.

False, just because you change the definition of something doesn't make you that. If you weigh 30 lbs you may perceive yourself as fat but that doesn't make you fat. If you go around doing the opposite of what Christ did in every aspect of life, believing you are Christian doesn't make you Christian. Following Christ is what makes you Christian.

True!
edit:
Yes, folks, but whether or not it is real to those around you, what you believe is real to you! If I weigh 90 pounds and think I'm fat, then to me I'm fat. That does not make it healthy, and it does not mean I don't need help, it just makes it my reality in the time and place where it exists.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that your reality is real. People can believe fallacies. It's a form of hypnosis. That's why you can get hypnotized people to do unreal things. The key is to believe what is genuinely real and true. Now you're a real human.

We manifest whatever we focus upon - pleasant or miserable. Thoughts and feelings affect physiology ie placebo effect. They also attract similar vibrations in the universe to ultimately effect changes that we may not even be aware about.
The universe does not judge; it simply reflects our reality back. Sometimes it is good that we don't always attract painful stuff because of a lag effect in bringing higher dimensions down to our lower one.

Believe what you like about the kitchen table. It will continue to go behaving in its own very table like way. The table is part of your reality. So no, you don't have that level of control over your world.
My world is filled with trees and the moods of trees. To me, the mole that has invaded my apartment is a bothersome house guest. To another in the same town and same apartment, their world might be filled with power lines and traffic noise, and their mole would be a vermin. So yes, you do have that degree of control over your world.

No, You must accept Jesus into your life to become a Christian. Even Satan believes. Lots of stick thin people are far from fat.But they think they are fat.This is only a reality in their head.

Know truth makes you FREE of beliefs & non-realties.
Many shall come & say I am Christ-ian...to DECEIVE.
The biblical objective is NOT to believe, but to "know".
Ye shall "know" the truth... shall make you free: Jn 8:32.
Devils "believe": James 2:19; So believe not: Mt 24:23.
Grace --> Mercy ---> Peace with you all. Amen.

Yes.
I believe this shapes not only your perception of reality today, but your future as well.
