Jesus was not baptized until he was a man. I thought the word "CHRISTIAN" meant follower of Christ.\n\nSorry, the baptism of children who are not at an age of accountability is a man made teaching contrary to Jesus example.\n\nThere is NO biblical record of a CHILD being baptized.

I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.\n     My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.\n     I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.\n     My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.\n     I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.\n      I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.\n     I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.\n     I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!

Being a Christian does mean you are perfect. It means we are trusting Him for out eternal destiny.. That is all.. Now God does work in our lives and gives us a hunger for His Word, and a desire to talk to Him. And He tells us to Go and teach others. But to be a christian is to hold faith in Him...  Jim

Absolutely!!  That is what "Christian" means, "Christ like", that is what we are supposed to strive for, to be and act like Him. Yes, we are obligated, teach by example, have faith the right person will learn from your example.

My pastor put it this way. We're compassionate beggars telling other beggars where the food is. We found something great and we want others to know where we got it from. \n\nIt's not just Christians today. Christians have always been "radical" since the beginning of Christianity. I like that term. \n\nradical- tending or disposed to make extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions\n\nI just wish I was living up to that standard. I've been really lazy and need to get up off my butt...

No, i dont think so, but he/she could be sure if they do the following:\nWebster’s Dictionary defines a Christian as “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teaching of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point in understanding what a Christian is, like many secular definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian.\n\nThe Bible teaches us that the good works we do cannot make us acceptable to God.\nA true Christian is a person who has put his or her faith and trust in the person of Jesus Christ and fact that He died on the cross as payment for sins and rose again on the third day to obtain victory over death and to give eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Followers of Jesus Christ.  Those who have been "born again".  Not by works, but through faith in Christ.

This is true, going to church does not make you a Christian. Accepting Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior makes you a Christian. However, you do need fellowship, but do so with strong believers.\n\nI go every Sunday because that is where I can learn the Word and fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters. Both are very important.

The bible's definition of "Christian" is pretty clearly associated with those who preach and declare and persuade from the Scriptures. Which self-described Christian religions are best known for their global preaching work?\n\n(Acts 11:20-26) Declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus. Furthermore, the hand of Jehovah was with them, and a great number that became believers turned to the Lord. ...it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.\n\n(Acts 26:25-28) Paul said: “...I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. In reality, the king to whom I am speaking with freeness of speech well knows about these things... But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

Christianity! ( not as in organized religion, tho) As an individual that has a personal relationship with Christ. \nWhy? Because it is the TRUTH! Only thru Jesus, can we attain salvation.

I'm Christian.\nIn my view, to be Christian, you must be what it means, and Christian means to be "Christ-like."\nNo one is exactly like Christ, but to sincerely live by the WWJD (what would Jesus do?) rule, is what a true Chrsitian should be...\nWe must believe who He is, and live a life that He says we must, and not just on Sundays or the Sabbath day, but at all times.\nI have learned a lot being not in a church and being in different types of churches...\nYes, there is much hypocrisy in the churches- but heck! Hypocrisy is everywhere! People in churches seem to be held at a much higher regard because of their proclamation in a perfect God and His perfect way, and this is why many notice more when they make the same mistakes that a non-Christian does...\nBut that high standard should be there...If someone says they are a Christian, what does that mean?\nFirst that they should know what it is to BE a Christian.\nThe basics- the Bible. We need to know the Word of God, before we can say or portray that we do. \nJust because someone babysits once in a while doesnt make them a child care professional. Just because somene likes to do hair doesnt make them a stylist. Just because someone goes to concerts doesnt make them a groupie.\nSo, just saying you are a Christian doesnt mean you are.\nWe need to show we are, by living a life that we are supposed to- the one where "Christian" rooted from- the teachings of Christ.\nI know tons of people who are Christian and live the life of. Praise God! But I also know many who say they are Christian, but have never even read the Word of God...\nThe Bible teaches us Christ was...What did He teach? He showed and taught many things to people and also to His disciples, who He told to go out and then teach the people His way- how to treat oneanother, God, themselves...\nWe need to know the Word in order to know how to be Christian. Many religions (which is man made, not GOD made) do things that God tells us not to...\nJust like the Catholic religion...I know where you are going with the Catholic thing. I agree.\nThey break the very first Commandment:\n\nEx 20: 3-5\n\n"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \n\nThou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. \n\n"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"\n\nThey do this all the time, with all their statues of the Pope, statues and prayers, shrines and rituals onto Mary, angels, etc...\nAnd in Mark 12:28-29, God says this is the most important Commandment:\n"And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? \nAnd Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"\n\nSo, I see where you are going with that. But I also know that there are many Catholics who are sincere in their faith and belief. God will judge us all on what we knew and what we did what what we knew. He knows our hearts.\nGood comment/question!

We all have our Friends, then our close Friends, then our best Friends, and finally our best friend. Jesus was the same, he had His followers, His disciples, Peter, James and John, and His best friend was Peter. \nPeter seamed to be the smartest and most inquisitive among the disciples, which usually makes one a leader among their peers.\nPeter had the strongest faith and acted on that faith.

They were Jews. The term Christians didn't come about until the pagans in the city of Antioch coined it as a derogatory term for those religious people who acted like they were "little Christs" which is the meaning of that term.\n\n"So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.  Acts 11:25-26

baptism is a sacrament of Christianity, along with communion.  Might you mean being Baptist??
