A Christian is not one who has been baptized, necessarily, though a Christian is likely to be baptized. A Christian is not one who receives Communion, though a Christian may receive Communion, and if he\u2019s been properly taught, he will. But that is not a Christian necessarily. A Christian is not one who has been born into a Christian home, though the chances are more likely that he will be a Christian if he has a good Christian background. A Christian is not one who has memorized the New Testament, or is a great lover of Christian music, or who goes to hear the Apollo Club sing \u201cThe Messiah\u201d every year. A Christian may do all of those things and I think it might be fine if he did; but that doesn\u2019t make one a Christian. A Christian is one who sustains a right relationship to Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
