Just when I've stopped doubting about my spirituality, that is to stop relying on my feelings to determine my relationship with God but instead to rely on what He says it is, my brain goes on to doubt whether I'm truly a Christian.
It goes on to the question of "if you're truly a Christian, why do you find the idea of worshiping the human Jesus so hard to swallow, or why is it that you wanted to do God's work, but resist every thought of really doing it?"
"Are you sure you've actually decided to follow Christ?"
Heh. I can't say I like this kind of moment, but I'm glad that in Christianity, I am allowed to be honest. I am allowed to doubt. I am allowed to allow God to work in me.
Of course the honest and doubting part mostly do not apply to other humans. I hope it would not be stumbling block. But one cannot deny that if God knows what you're thinking, there's little use to being dishonest and pretend you're not doubting, when you are.
I guess it's so much better to tell him about it outrightly, and see what He has to say or would do.
Back to the issue, is there a step-by-step guide, or a criteria that makes a person Christian? Or perhaps such thing exists only for us to judge whether another person's a Christian.
So Lord, what say You?

one unworthy life given to the Almighty; one seeking heart turning back to meet Him in an embrace; a pair of unclean hands held out to be cleansed by the blood of the Son of God. This is a walk trailing the path treaded by Yesus Kristus.
