What makes a person a Christian? A video that compares the answers from Got questions Ministry verses what the Bible or scriptures really say. Recently Got Questions ministry made a video on how to become a Christian, and the way of salvation. Though partially right, the Pastor failed to show the whole truth. I agree with the scriptures, that say this. We ought to obey God rather than a man, and beware of those who change the gospel, or try to manipulate the words of Christ. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Now, as far as the definition of a Christian. Again, the pastor was partially correct in the texts where people were called Christians. Paul, who wrote a majority of the New Testament and was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. He had his sins washed away because of his belief in Acts 22 and 16, wrote this accurate and excellent definition of a christian. "For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3, 26 to 28. That fits the words of Jesus, who said for all who believe to get baptized in His name in Mark 16, 16. And there is no other name but Jesus that saves, or is commanded for all things, or that is all powerful, or that every knee will bow and confess to. See Acts 4, 12. Colossians 3, 17. Matthew 28, 18. Phillipians 3, 14 and 15.
Before I go to show that and the proper path of the Apostles who were instructed by Jesus in His way, let's take a brief look at the church age we live in now. As this shows us how people are today, and will help give you a better understanding from God's viewpoint.  
We find these words of Jesus in the book of Revelations 3, 14 to 19. "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot. So then because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. Because you said, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and do not you know that you are wretched, and miserable, poor, blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye ointment, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
So, we find that today the world is churchy, and the church is relying upon wealth more than ever before instead of Holy Spirit power to represent itself. We have every type of Christianity and confusion available. Many false teachers and prophets have risen that claim the name of Jesus, and to be christians, but these don't use it His name or word over their entire lives. Yet Jesus has never changed, nor will the word of God for anyone or anything. 
Some of the popular ideas are simply saying that we beleive in Jesus, yet we are not obligated to serve Him lovingly by faith in action. This idea is known as easy believism. Yes, we must believe in order to saved. Jesus said, He that believes and is baptized shall be saved in Mark 16:16. His half brother James wrote that faith alone without works was dead. The devil believes in God, yet He is not saved because he cannot act upon that belief. John wrote in 3. 16 to 18 of first John. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Jesus said that faith itself was a work in John 6 and 29.
