You have fans and you have followers. Fans are Christians who are worldly they have no relationship with Jesus. Followers are disciples of Jesus Christ who have a relationship with our King Jesus Christ. The standard is what we learn from "The Great Commission".
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.[d] Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV

the 'Christian Standard' has not been the Biblical Standard, set by the Bible or by God, since before 300 a.d.
(so much so, it is as Eugene Peterson puts it in The Message "SURPRISE! SALVATION COMES" when salvation comes !
when salvation came to me, I was SURPRISED!, as I had been a 'perfect' church goer all my life,
and was told all along I was saved. instead of what the Bible Standard is, and what the Bible says, or what Jesus says.)
that's why there's so many different 'denoms things' and 'bitter disagreements'(even killing, since 3xx a.d., "in Christ's Name" but not of Christ.
in the body of Christ, there is union in Christ, unity by the grace of God, healing by the grace of God, in faith (not taught in 'the Christian Standard') , and what is is the Bible is seen in the body of Christ, few places though it is.

You have fence riders that follow whichever way the wind blows that like a feel good message, but yet lack that of the Spiritual knowledge and understanding as they are swayed by mans doctrines, interpretations and traditions as they like to have their ears tickled. Then you have those who are Spiritual diggers into the word of God that allow the Holy Spirit teach them as they gain knowledge and understanding by that which God has already spoken. The Biblical standard is found in bearing burdens, helping the needy, fellowship, brotherly kindness and mutual edification, Galatians 6:2; Acts 11:29, 30; Acts 2:42; 1Peter4:7-11; 1Thessalonians 5:11. The Biblical standard is the signs of faith as in Spiritual growth, fruitfulness, perseverance, persecution, obedience and good works, 2Peter 3:18; John 15:1-6; 1Corinthians 15:58; 2 Timothy 3:9-12; Philippians 2:12; James 2:14-26.
The standard for Christians is love the very rock and foundation of our faith is love and the love Jesus has that he would die on the cross for us. When we are saved we are given a mustard seed, This seed represents our faith.
The seed will grow even without love for Jesus spoke of ppl performing miracles without truly knowing him. But it can never Grow into a stunning tree bearing all sorts of fruit without love
Anyone can say they are Christians buts its your heart that speaks who you are

He said IF you have faith the size of merely a mustard seed, you could speak to this mountain ......
and in another place(s),
He told His disciples they had enough faith - they were in the kingdom already! - start ACTING /LIVING LIKE IT.
faith doesn't grow into something big or wonderful we can be proud of, and it's by sheer grace anyway, not of ourselves, so our only boast can be in the Lord .
the people of faith in the O.T. and in the N.T. , and in Hebrews specifically, did not 'grow' their faith. they lived it. they trusted Yhwh and did what He said, they obeyed Him, confident that He would do what He said He would do. He always does.
