Someone that does good works, believes in the Son of God, goes to church every sunday, loves on everyone, is born again (well depending on your denomination), believes in the trinity (depending on you denomination)?
A person who accepts Christ as their savior, believing He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect (sinless) life, was crucified for our sins and raised from the dead and sets at the right hand of the Father. A lot of the rest is opinion. One should be baptized, but this is not a requirement, the thief on the cross is proof of this.
You just described my former beliefs. I must have been a Christian then.
Nope. You probably imagined Christ on the left hand of the father or probably thought it was his wrists and not his hands that were nailed. These are are important facts. Hell awaits thee
