What are five characteristics of christianity?

Answer 1

Christian - The Latinized Greek term Khri‧sti‧a‧nos′, found only three times in the Christian Greek Scriptures, designates followers of Christ Jesus, the exponents of Christianity.-Ac 11:26; 26:28; 1Pe 4:16. This is How The Bible Describes True Christians: 1. God's servants base their teachings on the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. 2. Those who practice the true religion worship only Jehovah and make his name known. (Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth. (John 17:6) "I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word. 3. God's people show genuine, unselfish love for one another. (John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves." (1 John 4:20-21) If anyone makes the statement: "I love God," and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot be loving God, whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him, that the one who loves God should be loving his brother also. 4. True Christians accept Jesus Christ as God's means of salvation. (Acts 4:12) Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved." (John 3:36) He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. 5. True worshipers are no part of the world. (John 18:36) Jesus answered: "My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source." (Romans 13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. (Acts 5:29) In answer Peter and the [other] apostles said: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men. (Mark 12:17) Jesus then said: "Pay back Caesar's things to Caesar, but God's things to God." And they began to marvel at him. 6. Jesus' true followers preach that God's Kingdom is mankind's only hope. (Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. (Psalm 146:3) Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. On the basis of what we have just considered, ask yourself: 'What religious group bases all its teachings on the Bible and makes known Jehovah's name? What group practices godly love, exercises faith in Jesus, is no part of the world, and proclaims that God's Kingdom is the only real hope for mankind? Of all the religious groups on earth, which one meets all these requirements?' The facts clearly show that it is Jehovah's Witnesses.-Isaiah 43:10-12. Jehovah's Witnesses certainly are TRUE Christians - practicing the truth of the Bible!
