I would think that what would make a Christian is not only the acceptance of Christ into your heart, but also your obedience or will to follow His word.
The heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects as false - Galileo

We learn from history that we do not learn from history - Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

I think a Christian is one that accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour ( and all that goes with that), that He lived and died and as resurrected and will come again.
A Christian accepts this a truth and proclaims it in word AND deed.
In short He not only believes by faith BUT that faith leads him to love as our lord loved us.
