What is a "real" Christian?
There are conservative Christian theologians who promote various heresies related to salvation that cause some people who claim to be Christian accuse other people who claim to be Christians to not be "real" Christians.
Some conservative heresies that I'm aware of add the following requirements for someone to be a "real" Christian (I have either been accused on RF of not being a Christian or have personally heard pastors require the following, and I'm not talking about Fred Phelps):
1) The requirement to believe that the Bible is the perfect word of God
2) The requirement to hate homosexuals
3) The requirement to share one's faith
4) Tithing
5) Speaking in tounges
6) Voting for Bush - seriously
7) Being against abortion
8) Hating black people (in the South, of course)
9) Hating Mexicans (in Texas)
10) Supporting Israel
11) Hating Muslims
12) Yawning in a boring illogical Scriptural discussion
13) Wearing a dress to church
16) Wearing jewlery to church
So have you heard of anyone adding anything else to be a "real" Christian?
