At work I asked a patient if he wanted to list a religion, part of my job. He said with enthusiasm I am a born again Christian. I told him I believe him because of how he said it. I remember, when my car broke down, so I was walking along the freeway and the truck driver that pulled up said no one here but me and the Lord. SoI knew this knew this person was Saved. The word "Christian" is so generic. What is a Christian vrs. a "Christian". Not just in word but in deed?

Fence sitter christians are people who call themselves christian without seeking God and just more or less believing he exists...
Actual christians follow Christ and his principals and try to be like him and do whats right

Yes, in simple terms, a follower of Christ and a Christian trusts in Jesus Christ for salvation. A Christian is not someone who belongs to a false religion or cult that mentions Jesus but perverts the gospel.

Asking most people will get you an internal thought of "Obviously, ME (and maybe a few others) but definitely NOT "Them"... the guys who don't believe correctly, as I do." .......... no matter what we speak out-loud.

our Saviour plainly/clearly explains to those who will listen and whose ears and hearts are open,
what a True Christian is and what is required of them and what they will do in order to
fall into His definition and category of just what a 'Christian is'...

but, in our present world, anyone can and will call themselves a 'christian' under any
circumstances than they desire to create...

A Christian is a follower of Christ, a chosen person, an authority child, a being that should not live by rules of the natural world, a person whose spirit was raised with Christ.
It's a wonderful thing.
You can check Christian sites or meet a fellow Christian and of course get Life from the Bible.
