No one could possibly know if the authors of that definition are Christian or not based upon what is written in that definition alone...So some one does necessarily have to do, say, preach exactly what it written in the Bible to validate that they are a Christian...or believer...And God wants people to truly know him, and have them understand he knows them as well...because God knows the hearts and minds of people...not just what they speak...It is nothing at all to do with what a book can do or say...Jesus is all about people finding him because people freely want to do it...and understand why...not simply regurgitating what any one else has already said...or scribed in the Bible...
Having faith in Jesus means understanding why you choose to have faith that he is the savior...Or ones faith is dead...
If they try to explain how they believe that he is the savior based upon what someone else other than the savior thought Jesus was...then their faith is currently dead...or not there...
The Bible is a guide, but one must do everything else upon their own because they have faith in it...and embrace Jesus Christ as Lord...and want too...
The Bible, or any messenger can not make this leap for anyone, and one must decide why they want too...on their own...
God is different to everyone in different ways, since he knows everyone, and everyone is different...
The Bible can never explain how one truly feels about God personally because one must always find this answer themselves, and nothing that is ever written, or said to be embraced, scribed, thought etc...is MORE important to God than what YOU believe he is, upon your own...and why one believes it is true...
It does not get any more real than that...
