To become a christian is only on baptism.Not only attending mass or attending prayer meeting.For me being a christian is to accept the challenge given to you.Do the responsibility unto you.and most off all to be a good christian is in the hearth, meaning love, because love is the secret key of being a true christian...how about you?

To be a Christian means to be born again. To be born again is not to be baptized to the born again religion. To be born again is to do good works, to be born again is not to be a member of any religion. Jesus said in John 3:3 ...ye must be born again , because all men are sinners and a child of the devil. John 8:44..."Ye are of your father the devil". A christian is a person that has a relationship with God, a person that is a child of God. A person that is 100% sure of going to heaven, a person that is saved, a person knows that he has Eternal life. How to be a christian is so simple. Just repent of your sins and receive Christ into your heart as your personal savior. Romans 10:9-13, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth and believe in thine heart ... thou shalt be save.. v.13. for WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ephesians. 2:8-9 For by Grace are ye saved through faith and not of yourself it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. Romans 3:28 says "there we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." If you will receive Christ as your personal savior the Bible says that God will give you power to become the child of God, "John 1:12- But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God.", Romans 8:15- For we have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear but the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry abba Father. So if you want to be a Christian just simply repent of your sins and receive Christ as your personal savior. (You can do this through prayer - Romans 10:9-10) God Bless.

Being kindly and humane makes one Christian. Professing that one is Christian or receiving baptism does not make one Christian. To be kindly and humane one has to believe in Jesus Christ and accept that his the only Son of God. This entitles him to receive the quality of Jesus Christ and have the privilege of being a Christian.

For me, being a christian means living the life God wants me to live which is all up to me and thanking Him everyday for living. In church they always say that you have to follow this and that. But I believe that God gave us free will to live our life and I believe the best way to thank Him is to live your life to the fullest and do what you do in His name and trust Him, have faith in Him, and love Him. That's what being a christian means to me.

To become a christian is not only the baptism. Accepting Jesus as your personal savior is the initial stage of christianity for any religion whether they are hindu, muslim,sikh, buddism etc. After that only baptism, attending mass,prayer, beeing good, showing love to others. Icorinthians 8:5,6 says "For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many gods and many lords) yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." Each day as a christian we have to be Jesus. (in character, behavior ect)
