A christian will follow the rules of the holy bible. Its as simple as that.
So have I. I was raised to be a Christian, and I'll tell you now, other kids were raised to be Christians too but in a different manner. I had students in my class who'll go to church every Sunday, students who were whipped with a belt if they did wrong, students who'll groan when asked to pray every morning in assembly, etc... different.

There's different interpretations of religion. Some people will kill in the name of religion, some will offer aid, some with stick to what they know best, and some will hide away under a pew at church. But lumping everyone together in one solid lump because a few will act differently is wrong.

Also, the Bible isn't a rule book. It's a guide book to leading a good life. It's completely up to the reader how they interpret a good life. We all have free will - so who's to say who's wrong and who's right?
