I have received a number of comments surrounding what it means to be a Christian today. Not only is there a wide range of theological implications to this question, there are eternal implications as well. 

Pastors and Bible teachers want to make Salvation a hard line in the sand. You’re either saved or lost. You have either “asked God, through Christ, to come into your life, and He has filled you with the Holy Spirit and and saved you from your sins”, or not. For God, it truly is that simple. For man, the reality that no one wants to talk about is that true Salvation is much more nuanced and harder to pin down.
