Who or what is a Christian?

In a recent article entitled "Tension among Haiti's religions grows after quake," Associated Press writer Paisley Dodds lists some of the Christian groups providing aid to the population: "Baptists, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientologists, Mormons and other missionaries."

I'm sorry, but this demonstrates the world's confusion about who and what we are. They have no clue, especially about the concept of the "εκλεσσια," the "church." The Scientologists make no claim to be Christian. The Roman Catholics at one time claimed to be the one true church; the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses still do.

There is much disagreement among the various denominations about what constitutes "being a Christian." We all need to think on the question.
