What Satan Don't want you to know
Christian is "one who belongs to the Anointed One and shares in His same anointing."
Hear an apostle
"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

Btw most claimed Christians . Do Not even Know what Messiah means! How they gonna know What Christ means
 
A Christian knows where Jesus went and knows the way. He is the way, straight and narrow, and there's no going around Him.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
1 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Matthewc7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

A person is a Christian when they confess Christ and allow the Spirit to lead them.

If a person hates sin, and does not want sin and allows the Spirit to lead them they will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

2 Timothy 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2 Timotgy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Not all people allow the Spirit to lead them for they will not let go of the flesh and love sin more than God and they do not come to the truth.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

They say they cannot abstain from sin so they are holding on to sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash their sin away.

We must allow the Spirit to lead us not wanting sin.

If we sin we must repent and not want the sin anymore and allow the Spirit to lead us.

God knows the heart whether we want sin or not.

my short answer is this: being transformed to Jesus, thinking, speaking & acting like Jesus. a new regeneration n spirit, soul, mind & conscious. a full dedication to a Jesus life style as much as is within you.

Redundant. If people are not born again then they are not Christian. People can be believers in the intellectual sense. That does not impress God. "You must be born again," said Jesus.

And even that needs fine-tuning: Sinners/demons can believe in the existence of God, but that does not save (Jam. 2:19).
What God requires for salvation (GRFS) is repentance of rejecting His will and instead accepting Him/Messiah as Lord (Matt. 4:17, John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Rom. 10:9). More fine-tuning or elaborations of these normative ways of stating GRFS may be done in a creed.
