I want to know how people see Christians? I know how if feel of course I am a Christian and I wouldnt change that for anything. I do know however there are people out there that do things in the Lords name that is no of the Lord so I want to know what you all think/feel about this subject.

A true Christian is a person who has dedicated their lives to following Christ. I don't mean that everyone should become an ordained priest or clergyperson, but we are ALL ministers in our own way. I don't think we have to make grand gestures to get other peoples' attention and to show them the love of God. True Christians know that even the smallest act of kindness or a smile or kind word can do great things in someone else's life. True Christians basically walk the walk and talk the talk so that it is apparent that they are living the way that Christ teaches us. Remember, no one is perfect, though. We are all sinners, whether we're Christians or not and no one but Christ is perfect 100% of the time. We can love people but not what they do.

I feel that the Lord said that I sould not judge. He will take care of that himself, I'm sure. It's between those people and God. When they sin, they are the ones who need to ask for forgiveness in Jesus' name. Otherwise it doesn't count. I try very hard to remember that, though sometimes it is very hard. If I can remember that everyone's relationship with the Saviour is personal, and try to keep my faith from stepping on the faith-toes of others, then it makes it easier for me to be a good Christian.
