A christian without Christ
Its expected that a Christian, does all of the following:
1.Have the mind and attitude like that of Jesus Christ
2.Grow the kingdom of God on earth
3.Love God's children just like Jesus did
4.Have nothing to do with sin of any kind
5.Keep and teach others to follow God's 10 commandments
As it is, many of those who claim to be Christians do the exact opposite. All that the think, do and write demonstrates that they indeed belong to another camp. And because of that, the term "Christian) does not carry the weight its suppose to carry.
Are you a Christian? What kind?
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." (Psalms 119:11)
"and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." (Acts 11:26)
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:15-16)
1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them." (Ephesians 5:3-7)
