Someone can believe as Jesus as the Messiah, or prophet, or whatever you want to call it. But if he is not Christ-like, does that make him not christian?

yes, I'm sorry, you are right, it's more about believing and following his teachings... sorry, I knew I wouldn't be able to explain that right, lol...

oh and for one last thing, I'm going to have to quote the show 'south park' here for a second, when they were trying to convert Kyle, who is jewish and doesn't believe in hell, to come to christianity, or, well, it was like the "mind-warping" type thing, with the tongues and the rolling on the ground kinda thing, but anyways! I'm getting off subject, anyways so Kyle goes to his parents and tells them he wants to be a christian so he won't have to go to hell, and his parents say "we're jewish, we don't believe in hell" and Kyle says "But if they are wrong, then nothing happens to them, but if we're wrong, then we burn in hell for eternity"

I just thought that was ironic...
