You are an awesome Daughter of the High King. The Bible says that one will know a servant by their fruit, and I can absolutely see Christ in you, no doubt. No, you do not have a bad attitude, and if you argue, it is over a valid point, and you aren't mean about it. You are His, and there is nothing that the enemy can do about it.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:38-39

I wouldn't assume you <i>weren't</i> a Christian. But I wouldn't point at you and scream "JESUS LOVER!!!" in the hallway either. :p I try not to assume religious things about people. I'm either wrong or wind up generating stereotypes.

from someone who has asked that question to himself a time or two or ten thousand, i would say that if you have doubt in your attitude showing Christ, then there probably is a problem. I deal with the same battle on a regular basis, and it truly is a matter of the heart. you have to be solid in the word and on your knees daily and then you can't help but show Christ through your speech and more importantly your actions. But don't get down on yourself, the people who know you best love you, its the people who are on the outside watching you that you have to be on a spiritual guard for. they are the people who see that you are wearing a church t-shirt and then correlate your actions either with a true believer or just another stereotypical hypocrite...

i don't know if you have a copy of "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers, if you do, check out the June 30th entry, it should shed some biblical light on your question . . . if you don't have it, let me know and i'll e-mail it to you
