What distinguishes a Christian from a non-Christian, a believer from an unbeliever?

In this study of Ephesians 4:17-24, the Apostle Paul contrasts the unbeliever's mind - the vanity of the mind - with the believer's mind - renewed in the spirit of the mind - and the behaviors which result from each.

If unbelievers do not ask you what you have they don't have or what is different about you, could it be that there is nothing at all different about you because you are not really a Christian?
