'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world. (William Booth)

Matt, you are opening an double extra large can of worms with this question. Influential is probably right, but only God can tell if they are Christians. Some of these folks are growing in Christ and leading others to Christ, others are getting rich and leaving a trail of confusion and deception.
They may be influential but that does not mean I think that many of them have the best interest of Christians or the great commission.
Remove choices 4 through 10, 12 through 17, 20 through 43, and 45-50 and you will have the right list.
And for some, like choices 8, 9 and 23, remove from the list then apologize for including them
Choice 2 is probably the closest to being right as top christian minister or personality.
