God is love.”—1 John 4:16- "Of the fruitages of the Spirit Gods main attribute is love."
Love endures all things. Love never fails.’—1 COR. 13:7, 8.
God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.”—HEBREWS 6:10.
I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”—John 13:34.
Matt 5:44YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 However, I say to YOU: Continue to love YOUR enemies and to pray for those persecuting YOU; 45 that YOU may prove yourselves sons of YOUR Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous.
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—JOHN 13:35.

The bible says what is expected of a Christian and therefore how to recognize a true Christian. Of course there has to be the faith that Jesus is the son of God and that he died and rose on the third day to save us from our sins, that we are sinners and there has to be an acceptance that we are sinners and the person must have repented for their sins through the death of Jesus on the cross. But anyone can say that they believe and have done all of this so how do you tell a true Christian from a false one? Look for the fruits of the spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23: 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.'

For the list, Darwin become raised a Christian and by no skill claimed to be an atheist. He in simple terms couldn't trust that a god created guy and definitely all existence as is. He knew for a incontrovertible actuality that existence advanced and is ever evolving. there become no deathbed conversion for him. Hitler become Catholic and were given help and a smokescreen from the Vatican yet i do not imagine he become non secular truly. He in simple terms used the bible to justify his movements, very like the inquisition did. To be a Christian is basic. concept and adherence to Jesus Christ. even though it really is obvious you are able to flow round in that very gray area.

There is, and can be, only the ONE Mark, and that is the joyous, zealous obedience to the Teacjings of Jesus, ans if one truly believed that he were Christ (John 8:31-32).

Bigotry, judgemental, persecuting, mob mentality, self righteousness, destruction of the mind, imagination, piety, obedience, hypocrisy.
A true christian would not use computers the internet or any electrical appliance because anything scientific would be the work of the devil.
A true christian will never see a medical doctor or go to an hospital either because their god will cure them of anything it wanted to.
Do you know any real and true christians?

There is no one answer to that. Different congregations of Christians all have their own ideas as to what constitutes 'true Christianity,' and will often castigate those who disagree in strong terms.

They would use God's name Jehovah and witness to people like Jesus and his disciples did. Acts 20:20. Matt. 24:14. They would stay out of wars. They would disfellowship unrepentant sinners.
