[ArmyMatt]

become like Christ.

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Inner transformation, dying to self, pick up your cross and follow. The one thing that many Christians don't seem to get is that kindness, generosity and patience are essential practices of putting on Christ. we have so many choices throughout the day when it comes to responding to people and situations.

It's not that black and white, and you can't do any of that without Christ God in your life. I'll repost your list and share my thoughts:

1. Give your life to God. - Yes.
2. Become celibate. - That's not required. You can marry.
3. Go to church every time. - As often as one can.
4. Preach. - Not everyone is gifted with that, imo.
5. Be humble. - Yes.
6. Keep the ten commandments. - Yes, as best as one can.
7. Be virgin. - Yes, when you're not married.
8. Become priest, monk or non-orthodox: pastor. - Not necessary to become a Saint.
9. Become holy. - Yes
10. Fast all your life. - For those who can, yes.
11. Almost not talk. - Limiting talk is advised, but doesn't mean you can't talk. The Saints speak on what is good to respond to and talk when one feels the need to.
12. Don't have any joys. - Why would you think that? Joy is being in the Light of Christ right now.
13. Become friend with other saints. - That may be easier said than done.
14. Be born again.
15. Be baptized. - "born again" is being baptized.
16. Be baptized in the Holy Spirit. - Baptized in the Trinity
17. Be chrismated.
18. Receive the Holy Spirit. - Being chrismated is when you receive the seal of the Holy Spirit.
19. Die for Jesus. - If called to.
20. Torment your body for Jesus. - I'm not sure "torment" is the right word. But treat your body as St. Paul says - the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
21. Be perfect. - That is a continual process, even past our earthly existence.
22. Become god like Jesus. - A human can't become God. We can become partakers of His Grace.
23. Have only clean thoughts. - One should always strive toward that, but being human, spiritual warfare includes fighting unclean thoughts regularly and throughout your whole life on earth.
24. Never blashpemy. - Yes.
25. Never insult. - Yes. That would be good, but sometimes we slip up as humans.
26. Keep all the things Jesus said in the gospel, whole old testament and whole new testament. - As best as one can, yes.

A saint is one who dies in the graces of God.
There is no defined criteria other than confessing true faith and having repented before death of sin.

We do not become saints after death, we are saints now by being disciples of Yeshua and following "The Way" as the early christians did.
