The truth is I am either one or the other
Birds of the feather flock together,
fake Christians are everywhere
I am not looking for them.
But would they, [the fake ones that is], not be the ones really in need a the Great Physician? [Matt 9:12] If you are not looking for them then does that mean that you are one of them...or?

If you are a true Christian and not a fake Christian,
explain to me what exactly it is about you that differentiates you
from any of the fake Christians.
There are not "true or fake" Christians. A Christian is a follower of Christ, of which there are some who fall by the way side, some on stony ground, some among thorns, and some on good ground. But only those who are changed are born again of the spirit of God.

None of these statements or questions
here have anything to do with the debate topic.
Therefore if you see me ignore them you shall know why
without any explanation from me.

I am waiting for a true Christian here on the forum
to come forth and tell me what exactly it is about them
that differentiates them from any of the fake Christians.

All these idle words or meaningless chatter does not interest me.
Nor is it on the topic of the debate thread.

So if I do not reply back to you or ignore you
this is the reason for it.

I do not have to prove it to God
He knows everything.
You have accused me. If you cannot prove it, the accusation is hollow and against you.

Great.

The Lord God judge between you and I
on this matter and let He who is accepted by God
be rewarded with everything between you and I.

So be it as according to your word.

Love is the first thing that comes to my mind. A true Christian radiates the love of Christ, because of my Father's sacrifice for us. He sent His only Son who died who was beaten, mocked, and spit upon. He died on a cross and on the third day rose again. His blood paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sins on the cross and for this I am eternally grateful.

I don't know your motives. And I'm not all that good at debate. But I tell you this. That if you are a true Christ follower, you

1) Have admitted you are a sinner and trusted in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins.

2) spurred by that love and gratefulness, you write God's laws on your heart and seek after following His statutes and commandments.

3) spurred by that love you tell others of what He has done for you and try to walk in the way you are called as a child of the one true king.

I hope as a daughter of the King, I walk in the light as He is in the light as His Word says to do.

Basically a Christ follower is like a candle/a beacon of light to everyone around them. They try to use every opportunity to glorify God with their body and talents. I want to be completely sold out for Christ that I don't even have a desire to sin at all.

Do you believe you are a true Christian
and if put to the test you would pass the test
that would prove you are not another fake Christian
pretending to be a true Christian?

Well golly gee. Never thought to ask myself that question!

Can you give me some kind of guidelines? What does a real Christian do?

It depends on your definition of what a true Christian and a fake Christian is. According to my definition I believe I am 100% even as someone who has fallen many times. As far as what the test is, it would depend on your test I guess. Though I try to be ready in season and out of season, I know my daily walk with God is only one that continuously is growing...I am always learning. I think that everyone knows inside whether or not they are true or not.
