What is the criteria for being a Christian?

Pastor Adam Ericksen answers the question, “What is the criteria for being a Christian?” This question is posed by a Catholic who believes Christian Evangelicals would not consider her to be a Christian. Adam cites Pope Francis as a model for being Christian.  Although criticized by people within the Church, he continuing to do what he doing. Pope Francis is not in rivalry with his critics.

People who seek to divide people by declaring who is a Christian and who is not often lack a strong sense of self. The act of comparison is usually designed to enhance one’s own position.

The main criteria for someone calling themselves Christian is to follow Jesus and not get caught up in rivalry.
