All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
What makes you Christian?
Many connect with faith in Christ Jesus & are called believers because of the power in His name to do exploits while remaining in their wicked ways; But I tell you, except you get born again to that which is incorruptible, accepting Christ in understanding of His teaching and walking in it in truth and in the love of God, you will neither be fulfilled on earth nor inherit the kingdom of God.

You asked an excellent question and gave the correct answer for it. One must be regenerated/born again to be Christian.
I am not sure if i understand correctly what you are trying to say with your first statement though. Are you saying that some believers/born again folks who walk in their wicked ways are still able to do exploits or are you saying that some unbelievers are able to do exploits in the name of Jesus?
Blessings beloved.

I appreciate your contribution, I just asked the question after reading 1 Peter 1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. I now ask as a christian how real are you to God and to other, are we really like Christ in our conduct, attitude and character.

What I really like about the phrasing of this thread is that it is worded "what makes you Christian," not "what makes you a Christian?"
I like the word being used as an adjective here rather than a noun.
The emphasis is different.
I fear some think then can be a Christian withing being Christian.
There's got to be something central to loving God and giving your life up for others in the meaning of the good news if the teaching's of Christ have any merit.
