So, to you, the one word that would define Christianity is "obediance"? :doh:
To me it involves willing allowing God to Shape us and comform us into the image of Christ. To be a Christian is of course to us all more then a name slaped on.

Many call them self Christians but defined christian means christ like. This is a mouthful to describe in one word aside from this one. But to become like Christ is a process that begins when were saved by Christ.

A christian following the examples of Christ is ;
To be a witness, to walk in truth always, to walk with a pure conscience before God.

My prayer is psalms 139:23,24 Search me O God, and know my heart: try me and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.

This to me describes the very heart and mind and attitude that a Christ like follower will have if he is a Christian. This keeps me open with Father he know every corner of my soul. He should see all Christians with this kind of openess for his eye to search them for things he doesn't want to be part of us.

Hope it helped your question Brother
Peace to all in Christ

"During a British conference on comparative religions, experts from around the world debated what, if any, belief was unique to the Christian faith. They began eliminating the possibilities. Incarnation? Other religions had different versions of gods appearing in human form. Resurrection? Again, other religions had accounts of retun from death. The debate went on for some time until C.S. Lewis wandered into the room. "What's all the rumpus about?" he asked, and heard in reply that his colleagues were discussing Christianity's unique contribution among world religions. Lewis responded, "Oh, that's easy. It's grace."

After some discussion, the conferees had to agree. The notion of God's love coming to us free of charge, no strings attached, seems to go against ever instinct of humanity. The Buddhist eight-fold path, the Hindu doctrine of karma, the Jewish covenant, the Muslim law - each of these offers a way to earn approval. Only Christianity dares to make God's love unconditional."

~ Philip Yancey - What's So Amazing About Grace?

C.S. Lewis... what a legend.

maybe we should call it closed-minded

Did you know you'll give a account to God for you advice my friend.
Be careful your going to be judge by everything you do in the name of Christ.

Good or Bad

10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more:
but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Your being recorded

May I ask what that scripture means in comparison with the fact that God's word makes Christianity what it is?

I may be completely missing it, but I don't see the relation >.>

A Christian can be known by the fruit of the Spirit being produced in there life.Galatians 5:19-21

Here is the works of the flesh;Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Fruit of the Spirit; 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:

You can see there is a big difference in the amounts of good fruits or outward things you see them doing

Hope it help my brother
