Of all the religions in the world, Christianity - true Christianity - is the only one which gives you the Spirit of God.
Those who are unsaved do not have the Spirit of God.
Those who are saved have the Spirit of God -- or are being led by the Spirit of God to that point.
So some questions you might ask yourself:
1. Are you always aware there is the Spirit within you?
2. Are you able to distinguish between your own internal voice and the voice of the Holy Spirit clearly?
3. Can you clearly recall times in your life when you have heard the Holy Spirit?
If not, and you can hear this, then start seeking.
There are a lot of people out there who think they are Christian, but do not have the Holy Spirit.
They are in all manner of churches. It does not matter.
What is done externally is meaningless, if internally you are not truly born again.
Handing waving and rituals do not tell you that you have the Spirit. Claiming to have the Spirit (of God Almighty) does not matter, if you do not. Being what you think is 'all about Jesus' does not matter.
You can go to church every Sunday of your life. You can wear all the right clothes and say and do all the right things. And be completely and totally wrong all along.
You can persuade others you are a real Christian, and be accepted as a real Christian. But, that does not matter if your heart is empty of God.
