WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN ARE YOU?

So a week ago someone asked me this question: What kind of christian are you? And since then. i've been asking myself that question. What kind of christian are you? As christians, we know what is right and what is wrong. And when people ask questions like these, we always try to give the politically coorect answer, which is "I am the light of the world..." etc. But everyone knows that to say one thing is different from being what you say you are. Hence the common saying "don't just talk the walk, walk the talk".

So until today...i still find it hard to articulate the kind of christian i am or at least i'm try to be. So the next question i asked myself was "how am i different from non-christians?" or "how is my lifestyle different from non-christians? Is there a difference at all in the way i behave and do life?" (don't get me wrong. i am by no means trying to say that christians are of a different or higher class than non-christians)

So is there a difference? There should be, because we've got the LOVE of God and the Holy Spirit residing in us. We should be living our lives in such a way that will lead others towards God. But why is it not suprising than to hear people, believers and/or non-believerss, call christians hypocrites? Why is it not suprising when people actually have to watch their backs when in church? And is the church doing anything about this or are they just trying avoid and ignore the situation?

I suppose, if every child of God asks themselves "what kind of christian am i?" and give a candid and honest answer, maybe the church would be a more accepting place? I don't know. Hmmm....
