Under the heading of "What are the 7 characteristics of Christianity?" Google gives a list of atleast 8 items and sends us to an article at History.com for more.
They list these as "Some of the main themes that Jesus taught, which Christians later embraced:
- Love God.
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
- Forgive others who have wronged you.
- Love your enemies.
- Ask God for forgiveness of your sins.
- Jesus is the Messiah and was given the authority to forgive others.
- Repentance of sins is essential.
- Don't be hypocritical.
- Don’t judge others.
- The Kingdom of God is near. It’s not the rich and powerful—but the weak and poor—who will inherit this kingdom.
If a Christian is by definition a follower of Jesus the Christ then you are not a Christian until you start Following the Doctrines of Jesus. You cannot become a Christian and then later embrace some of the Doctrines of Jesus. Unfortunately, that is what many people did when they became Christians by the order of Constantine.
As an example of this the so-called Bishop Milan by the name of Ambrose was elected by these people claiming to be Christians to satisfy Constantine's edict.
Ambrose was an early Patristic author of a church who sought to persecute the religion of Constantine while seeking the guidance and benefaction of the Patronus of Rome who was one of the fathers of the earth the Doctrines of Jesus warned us about. The gifts, gratuities and benefits of the Emperor Constantine where the wages of unrighteousness offered by rulers who exercise authority one over the other. The masses who followed these new teachings, professing a false Christ[1], would eventually turn into perfect savages finding once more a monarch and a king.
They would soon propagate false religion, persecute real Christians with inquisitions
