So, from your definition, would someone that has repented, but has not yet obeyed Acts 2:38 be considered a Christian?

How would you derive that from my definition? :coffee2

Has someone that has repented not turned from their sins, and devoted their life to following Jesus??

You are correct. Somebody that looks like me, talks like me, and agrees with me.

But theriouthly, folkth! :rolleyes2

My definition of a Christian is a person that:

a) Believes the bible is the inspired unchangeable word of God
b) Believes that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and died for their sins
c) Has accepted God's call to repentance
d) Believes that their soul's salvation is found only through accepting Jesus' Blood as the covering for their sins.
e) Makes a discernable effort to emulate the Lord and His Apostles in life and conversation.

You'll notice that a great deal of protestant trinnies qualify for my definition. They are sincerely Christians, but are sincerely deceived or sincerely living beneath their privileges.

Roman Catholics, in my opinion, are not Christians. On the rare occasion when a Catholic has elucidated this viewpoint from my lips, the ensuing conversations could only be termed, 'interesting.' Yikes.
