[quote=Anonymous]You have to define the term Christian.

Culturally it can mean whatever you like, from someone who likes the teachings of Christ, to one who attended church as a child, whether atheist, agnostic, mormon etc.

But Christ's own definition excludes the vast vast majority.
The overall teaching of the gospel is that Jesus is the Son of God, and that indeed he is God (John 1: in the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was God...the word became flesh."
That he died as a sacrifice for human sin and rose from the dead which proved his divinity (1 Cor 15, Hebrews 9)
He was the Jewish Messiah prophesied throughout the old testament such as Deuteronomy 18, Isaiah 53, Psalm 22 and many more.
And that to be his disciple you must believe this and repent your sins including idolatry (false religion)
John 1 "to those who believed, those who received him..."
Mark 1 "repent and believe the gospel"
Luke 24 "repentance and the forgiveness of sins in Jesus name"
Acts 2 "repent.. and be baptized in the name of Jesus"
