A Christian is someone who heard the Gospel UNTO Salvation,believes and receives Jesus Christ. Is born again, as a Child of God. Is filled, and sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is when that born again BELIEVER walks in the Spirit by following Jesus.

Christianity is based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. The death, descent into hell, resurrection and ascension of Christ. The holiness of the Church and the communion of saints.

Since GOD looks at the heart and man can only look at outward appearances,Christianity IMO would be telling other men,I’m a christian and I follow CHRIST but Christianity In Truth Is a person who’s spirit has been changed and Is just and made perfect and now they will be seeking to match themselves to the new creation that they have become.

A christian loves their neighbor as themselves, and loves the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, and strength. They believe that Christ died on the cross for all of our past, present, and future sins, and is risen again. With this in mind, we don't try to sin because we know that we are forgiven, but we try to act as God expects us to. I believe that God is three in one; Father, son, and Holy Spirit. As St.Patrick said in the Veggie Tales special: "Three persons, one God."

It's a religion even though many christians deny that it is. A religion is simply a faith-based belief system. Christianity is a system of faith based on the bible, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the belief that he is the Son of God and the one true savior of mankind.

In as few words as possible: you are saved by Christ, so act like Christ

notice the part where it says "you are saved by Christ" that part was done by Christ himself
the next part, what does it mean to "act like Christ"? (be imitators of Christ)
see where we are focusing on? be imitators of Christ

and I highly doubt that we can sum up Christianity in fewer words other than, "share Christ-like love" (3 words)

for more information, read my signature, and my next question is, is there a limit to how long the signature can be?

it's easy for humans to over-complicate things, we always forget this simple purpose: to never lose sight of the simplicity of the gospel, and how to live for God (sanctification)

you summed it up in one word, LOVE!

salvation is the root that leads to faith and spiritual fruits (ie: love)

as long as we have the root, we will never lose that root (John 10:28)

Christ Is In Me My Version Of Christianity
I Am In Christ

In the twilight realm of majesty
Of the colors of the setting sun,
Shadows cover the earth
But not the loving heart.
Walking through the paths of nature,
Covered in ivy greens,
There is a moment that spurs the mind
To something never seen.
Something within, that has the power,
To bring to life each waking hour.
And as the sun goes down and gives way
To a rose of silent bliss,
A trembling of gentleness,
A taste of love's sweet kiss.
People here, people there,
People walking everywhere
A land of echoes,
Of endless waste,
A treeless branch across the trail.
Wander and roam,
Find a home,
In pastures of verdant green,
Where answers lie,
For questions never asked.
A mansion built on high,
Way up in the lofty sky.
And there I wake
My dreams are true,
Filling my arms with love of God
Living the daily life of Christ.

If someone says that they are a christian how would anyone know that they were really a christian.
The only thing someone could look at and tell If they were christian Is by looking at the outward appearances of the person that claims to be a christian and any other judgement would be In error.

Only GOD could look at their heart.

It’s like In the court system someone may go through a trial and be found not guilty when they are guilty we would all have say they are not guilty but In front of GOD the TRUTH would be they are guilty.
