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.
Not if you do not still believe He is who He said He was. If you still believe He is the savoir and have rejected Him, then yes, I believe you were a Christian.

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
You've been in space to long, either that or you're crazy.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
