I believe Jesus lived.
I believe he was sent here to enlighten us and teach love.
I believe he was self-less and gave of himself to all of mankind.
I believe in doing good even when it's difficult to do.
I believe in taking responsibilit for my actions, even when it's difficult to do.
I believe in an all-loving God.
I believe that God wants us to be with Him.
I don't believe that it is the death of Jesus that is important, but his life.
I don't even attempt to understand what or who God and Jesus are because I don't think I could understand it anyway.
I believe that everyone is deserving of heaven and only people who choose to go to hell, which is just the absence of God. No more. No less.
I don't even attempt to comprehend heaven.
Am I a Christian?

MadameWuzzle,
Christianity is a religious distnction, a style of religion.
If you don't know if you are a christian then it might be worth your while to go to a library and read about their beliefs.
You sound like to me that you are a very basically good person who wants to believe in a higher power and that is good.
The style in which you believe is what will define you in your ways of believing.
Religion is the teaching of the Lord under that particular religious manner.
I won't waste your time listing all the religions and you probably know about most of them anyhow.
Just remember that all religions are about the believing in a higher power that we call God in whatever manner.
You sound only confused about wether you want to be a Lutheren, a Babtist, a Catholic, a Jehova Whitness, a Pentacostal, a Mormon, Jewish, Hindu, Budist, or one of the many other ways to believe and honor God.
Like I suggested, try the library first, so that you may familiarise yourself with all the different religions, and then maybe speak to some people who are practicing the religions you find most appealing to you. After that pick a church and go to a meeting and sermon to see if that feels right to you.
Yep sounds to me that you just might be a Christian, and maybe a pretty good one at that!

what a great question to ask!!! You must have repentance and ask forgiveness of sin and ask Jesus into your life...many people merely "believe" but don't have a relationship with Him..
The death of Christ was very important, or he wouldn't have done it..By his death, we are saved and forgiven (but you must believe it to have it. His ressurection was to show that we will have life eternal with him even after the grave, if we die before his return. So, the answer to your question is...you are a Christian if you ask forgiveness and ask him in your heart...so if you did that..yes, you are...just continue to die to yourself daily and take up your cross and follow him....relationship is the most important. Hope this helps.

A christian to me is one who believes in Christ, excepts Him as their creator and follows in His footsteps. If you believe that than you are a follower of Christ, a christian.

God doesnt care what you call yourself. Man does. He knows your heart.
