Exhibit the qualities Christ exhibited while on earth. It's not only about going to church. Some cultists/ritualists seat on the front pew in church.

1 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of Gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

2 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

3 - You laugh at polytheists (those who believe in many Gods), but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

4 - You feel disgust when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

5 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that worships humans as avatars, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

6 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established facts, e.g. age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

7 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

8 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some crazy people rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

9 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

10 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a christian.

Chritianity came from Christ-Like and if you don't possess those attributes of Jesus then you're not a Christian. Going to church everyday is not Christianity.

Jesus started one true Christian religion. So
today there must be just one body, one group,
of true worshipers of God. (John 4:23, 24;
Ephesians 4:4, 5) The Bible teaches that only a
few people are on the narrow road to life. --
Matthew 7:13, 14.
The Bible foretold that after the death of the
apostles, wrong teachings and unchristian
practices would slowly come into the Christian
congregation. Men would draw away believers
to follow them instead of Christ. (Matthew 7:15,
21-23; Acts 20:29, 30) That is why we see so
many different religions that claim to be
Christian.
Qualities that identify "true" Christians:
1. The most outstanding mark of true Christians
is that they have real love among themselves.
(John 13:34, 35)
2. Another mark of true religion is that its
members have a deep respect for the Bible.
They accept it as the Word of God and believe
what it says. (John 17:17; 2Timothy 3:16, 17)
3. The true religion must also honor God's
name. (Matthew 6:9)
4. True Christians must preach about God's
Kingdom. Jesus did so. He always talked about
the Kingdom. (Luke 8:1)
5. True Christians believe that only God's
Kingdom will bring true peace and security to
this earth. (Psalms 146:3-5)
6. Jesus' followers must be no part of this
wicked world. They avoid the harmful conduct,
practices, and attitudes that are common in the
world. (John 17:16; James 1:27; 4:4)
All these qualities are in union with Christ.

All the true Christians I have been close to all have this in common: idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions and factions. So these must be the qualities of a true Christian.

Re: What Are The Qualities Of Being A True Christian by MrCritique: 12:10pm On Sep 08, 2013
I think the thing (yes singular) that markes true Christianity is LOVE (not the type the media preach, but the type Jesus practised).Jesus said 'if ye have love one for another then are ye my desciples'. praying, going to church, giving of alms etc are all provoked by LOVE. this type of love cuts across tribe, religion , ethnicity, race ,political creed etc. If you have this type of love you will evangelise ,care for the widows and less privilege, visit the sick, in fact you will be HUMANE. think about it.

Human beings are God's treasures, if you can't help em, at least don't hurt em.

Even Jesus christ in his glory sited several examples about been good to humans. e.g
The parable of the good samaritan
: In this story, there's was no indication that the good samaritan was a believer of Christ or Jehova...
However, he was commended for his love towards his fellow.


The parable of the Lazarus and the rich man
: This time around, according to our Lord, he never talked about living a sanctimonious life Hypocrite born again life... what he talked about was the negative way the rich man treated Lazarus.

The parable of the unforgiving servant : Unlike other ones, this one was centered on forgiveness. It emphasized on letting go of what people will do/did against us.

Overall, what really matters is our attitude towards our fellow beings.

To me, it's aiming to be the kind of person that does good on impulse or without thinking.
I mean, doing good/morally right deeds should become part of your person completely, without trying to impress anyone or even impressing God (eg: "let me do this so that God will bless me"wink, as that is the ultimate perfection.
