No offense is meant here. I'll tell you why I have asked, and I'd like to know what you think about it.
Do you really think it's your place to go around telling who's a "true Christian" and who's not? Your relationship with God is something that is inside of you, correct - between you and God?
Isn't assuming to know about that relationship a character judgement - something you aren't supposed to do?
When a non-Christian asks you "Why did this Christian I know call me a name?" or, "Why did this Christian I know have sex before marriage?" or, "Why did this Christian I know lie to me?" ...Don't you think it's a rather weak argument to claim that person is not a true Christian, and that's why they committed (fill in the sin). Isn't that rather arrogant?
If the people that say "Oh, well he's not a true Christian" would be more tolerant of their own fellow Christians - then I'd feel more confident that they would be tolerant of the rest of us as well.
