Question about who is a Christian

Advertisements [?]

I've been told that I am confused about what Christianity is. I have believed that following the (professed) teachings and trying to emulate Jesus was one definition of Christianity. There is also another definition, imho, which involves "an unseen but omnipotent god who lives in "heaven"" and that Jesus was Christ, the Messiah, belief in his "divinity" etc.

I guess simply following Jesus would make me more of a Jesusian (Jesuit?) since the "christ" in "christianity" would mean belief in Jesus as christ?

Thoughts?

Not sure how clear I've been here, will be happy to talk as we go along and try to clarify.
