What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

[Pat Mustard]

That rules out almost every American who calls themselves a Christian. So you're calling us ignorant because we deal with the majority of people who call themselves Christians (team Jesus people), not the true Christians ™ as you define them. Sounds like the problem is really on your end, not ours.

The christian definition of "true christian": point to whatever doctrine I'm not currently arguing with a non-christian over, and say it's a core doctrine. Whenever I start to argue with a non-christian over it, it ceases to be a core doctrine. When not arguing with christians, adopt the doctrines* that I am more comfortable with.

*These can include doctrines which I have personally made up in the last ten minutes (like prosperity gospel) and are unrecognised by any scripture or authority.
