Stereotype yourself

The other night, I was talking to one of my friends who isn't quite sure if he's a Christian or not, and in this conversation he said "I'm not the good Christian boy anymore," which made me think.
Deeply.
True, some of the things he's done are things I wouldn't be doing, but that's the point. Christians don't have to be cookie cut outs of each other, we all screw up in one way or another, and that seems to be the point. I read somewhere this little message:

"When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I'm not shouting 'I am saved,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost!
That is why I chose this way.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I'm don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches which is why I seek his name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian,'
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority I only know I'm loved."

This is my point --if the whole point of Christianity is that God will forgive anyone, no matter what they've done (as long as they ask for forgiveness), how can we stereotype ourselves as the "good Christian" boys and girls? Hmm? Is there such a thing? No! There isn't! Because there was only one good "Christian" boy, and He wasn't even a Christian, He was Jewish! So, in closing, don't stereotype each other just becasue they are or aren't a certain religion. That's pretty much the end of my stroke of genious for the day.
