Can you explain what "signs of Christianity" would be that others would observe?
-
That's difficult. Usually, Christians tend to try and act as if they were Christian. The success they have at exhibiting these signs is quite varied, and tends to follow along lines of denomination. I think that the more conservative denominations tend to be better at living righteous lives. On the other hand, the more liberal denominations often have trouble with this ( I know - I'm a silly almost alcoholic Episcopal). Anyway, to answer your question, I don't think you can. A Christian who doesn't live life the way he or she should is either a silly almost alcoholic Episcopal or not a Christian at all. I hope this helps.

I am sorry, but if a Christian isn't living their life in such a way that others can tell what religion they are, then its probably because they are backslidden... The Bible tells us that Christians will/should/do live a lifestyle that is different than the rest of the world. That they will/should/do exhibit the Fruits of the Spirit in everything they do, not just the time they go to church.

because they will be up on the moral high ground along with all the other church bangers.

Here… some scripture that may help you trying to discern… 1. Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:15-17 (in Context) Matthew 7 (Whole Chapter) 2. Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:19-21 (in Context) Matthew 7 (Whole Chapter) Fruits that the Bible is referring to are the “fruits” of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) these are: 1. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:21-23 (in Context) Galatians 5 (Whole Chapter) 2. Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Ephesians 5:8-10 (in Context) Ephesians 5 (Whole Chapter) And Love is described in 1 Corinthians 13.
