Assurance of Eternal Destiny (might be the same as #5)
Salvation is NOT based on our merit.
Terrific! Prepare to have it stolen!
1 2 and 3 all a bit vauge, 4 through 10 would all be considered to be the case by muslims too.
4 through 10 are wrongly affirmed by the Muslims since only one can be truly true through and through.
Actually #5 is not applicable to Muslims--they are not promised paradise. Allah can capriciously decide to send whoever He wants to hell (even if you've been a good Muslim). The only one's guaranteed heaven, in Islam, are those who die as martyrs.
that Christianity is real.
Jeremy,
We also have a realistic Holy Book! It does not demonize the villians nor does it mortalize its heroes. The Koran and the Bible both point out that man is sinful, but the Bible provides a solution that really works!
Also Islam makes men servents of God but servants only (that is their path to possible salvation). The Bible makes us free to serve, but we also become the children of God. One other feature of Biblical Christianity is that we have a real Father/son relationship to God. It's a relationship, not a religion. ;-)

Jeremy,
Don't you know that religion does not belong in the blogosphere? Don't you know that your existence here is forcing religion down other peoples' throats?
What are you thinking man?
Don't you know that CERTAINTY is arrogance, and truth claims are simply power grabs?
You need to be deconstructed man!
God is dead. Haven't you read that yet?
Come to think of it, you should be DELETED!
In the name of tolerance, I will do all I can to silence, trivialize, marginalize, and stop you.
Just shut up already.

I'm sorry, John.
Who am I to think that I might be right about something?
