Most churches would view the following as characteristics of a mature disciple:

1. Careful students of the Scriptures
2. Zealous and active in their stand for God
3. Desire for worship and prayer
4. Consistent in worship attendance
5. Practice scripture memorization
6. Not afraid to pray in public
7. Active in the local church
8. Fast regularly
9. Desire to stand against ungodliness
10. Firm grasp of basic, foundational theology
