Sounds like two questions: Are you saved? Yes, I have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus to redeem my sins and I am daily growing closer to God and showing the fruits of the Holy Spirit in my life.

 

Am I a "Christian?" By popular definition, probably not. I'm reminded of someone who was talking about the metaphor of Christians being the bride of Christ. They quipped, "I love Jesus. It's His wife I can't stand."

 Today, so many professed Christians are giving the body of Christ a bad name. They don't live overcoming lives. They look just like everyone else, so where is the light, the salt, the leaven of Christ to help a hurting world?

 Followers of Christ must be transformed. Laying down your life and taking up your cross are not just archaic metaphors -- they are truly part of the path to sanctification. If we are to make disciples of all nations, it starts with BEING a disciple of Christ.

"What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?"

Not me.  Jesus wasn't a Christian either.  A Christian would be someone who follows the tenets of Christianity instead of communing directly with God.  They worship Jesus as a shortcut to heaven instead of doing the hard work of serving their soul's purpose.

Matt. 24:13: "He who endures to the end will be saved." So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus. Am I a christian?  Yes, for I am a follower of Christ. Anyone professing to be a Christian do more or less recognize Jesus Christ as their pattern or they would not take the name "Christian." If he is one meriting to be followed, then we must, logically, adjust our thinking to his.  One must accept Jesus as their savior, learn about his ways, his ministry, and follow his steps closely and to the best of their ability (1 Peter 2:21).
