I'm as Christian as your good self, in the sense that I believe in the divinity of Christ.
I certainly would be excluded from your tribe because I don't believe in a physical resurrection of Christ. But I do believe in the resurrection of Christ in the sense that after three days of grief and feeling hopelessly lost thew lovers and followers of Christ pulled themselves together and began to teach again as Christ had taught them and this was as if Christ Himself had arisen amongst them.
This was the greatest resurrection because it led to Christianity reaching the entire planet.
In the scripture you quoted it says, he will live after dying, there it is, can it be any clearer than that, Jesus lived after dying by the very fact that His Message filled the world.
Christ raised, means His spirit, His Teachings, the effect of Christ became much stronger after they put His body to death. This is what all the prophecies mean, this is what Christ was trying to get across to the disciples, my physical death is not my death, in physical death I will be more alive and the power of my word will be unstoppable.
As for real and unreal Christians, well there are no real Christians, the Christian era has passed, besides that, it's beyond our pay scale to make that judgement on anybody.
