A Christian is a person who follows the teachngs and example of Jesus. That's it. That's all there is to it.

It has nothing to do with ceremonies invented centuries after the death of Jesus. It has nothing to do with wine, or wafers. It has nothing to do with folklore borrowed from figures in Greek literature, such as Apollonius. It has nothing to do with the Bible. It has nothing to do with baptism. It has nothing to do with the cross. It has nothing to do with special days, or special houses of worship. It has nothing to do with some kind of magical "being saved."

If you know what Jesus said and did, and if you emulate him and follow his teachings, you are a Christian.

Be modest and kind. Help others. Love them as you love yourself. Treat them as you wish to be treated by them. Return reason for hatred. Forgive your enemies. Follow the ten commandments. Use the Lord's Prayer.

Christ wants a relationship with you. You have to put Him above all others.

Do you really believe Christ wants this? That he is so egotistical that he needs you to worship him, and put him above the needs of your fellow human beings? Did Jesus put worship above the needs of the people while he was alive? It seems to me that he helped people when then needed help.

Putting Christ first, serving him and living His word will cause us to serve others as He did. We are to serve Him by living out His example.
