Anyone else think this is really annoying? It's just a divisive term used mostly by other Christians for those who don't agree with their exact beliefs or someone they think is not mistaken in their actions. People can be a Christian (believe Jesus is the son of God and try to live their life for Him) and have all kinds of differing beliefs and they sometimes don't act in a "Christian" way.
Not to say all those beliefs or actions are correct or should be accepted, but just because someone believes something that doesn't line up with your doctrine or just because they say or do some things that are not Christian-like does not invalidate their Christianity.
Christians should do their best to present Christ to the world, but people make mistakes and misunderstand things, so who are we to tell someone they are not a "real" Christian?
I will acknowledge someone has a Christian, but I will inform them in a loving manner if I believe they are not presenting Christ well.
