There's this girl at my school who got saved about a year ago. Thing is, now she's out practically splashing people with holy water. Anything you do, she has a Bible verse. "Don't do that because Mark says..." it never ends. She's so adamant about judging people and telling them why they're wrong. But then she turns around and will make fun of somebody's hairstyle. It's getting mad annoying. If I make a joke, she'll say, "You shouldn't say that because Luke says..."
I'm a Christian, but I think it's wrong to go around and get on EVERYBODY for swearing or getting a tattoo or being gay or sleeping in church...I mean, nobody's perfect, so it's senseless to go around and point out everyone's fault, especially when she's gossiping about people three seconds later....it's your average holier-than-thou thing going on...what should I do?

Go after her with a PENTAGRAM and see if she gets the message on how it feels.

The bible, and in fact any personal development technique, is intended to provide tools for a person to go inside and deal with their own issues.
However what some people do to avoid their own inner work is to adapt these tools in order to change other people.
You could try to point out what she is doing and persuade her that she should be trying to change herself, and not other people.
Of course you will have to be thoroughly commited to doing that for yourself also, otherwise she will be able to turn your argument against you.
Your challenge is to do this with true compassion and humility.

When she says "Mark says..." You need to ask her WHEN she spoke to him & grill her about HIM & what he sounds like & what he was wearing & blah-blah-blah. She'll take the hint after awhile. If she doesn't, go to your school counselor & file a complaint in regards to a bothersome student who seems to be harrassing you & other students. She probably needs counseling & you need to get it on record that she is making unwanted contact with you. This type of person has a way of twisting words & situations that can get you & others in harms way. She is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I kid you not! Please make a report to your school's higher ups. It can probably be done anonymously. Good Luck. This girl is a danger to herself & others.

You are a Christian in name only. As such, what Christians do is none of your business. Just be quiet and follow the other sheep.

When people start bugging me, asking if I'm "saved", I simply reply "I am at peace with myself." It's usually all that needs to be said.

Quote this verse to her, then just move on.
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged." (KJV Luke 6:37)

SHE IS SUFFERING FROM SOCIAL ANXIETY AND USING HER "BORN-AGAIN" STSTUS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH OTHERS. SHE PROBABLY DOESN'T REALIZE HOW SELF-RIGHTEOUS SHE APPEARS TO OTHERS.
. YOU COULD JUST SIMPLY STATE:
UM......JESUS CALLED. HE SAID HE WANTS HIS CROSS BACK.
OR, YOU COULD ASK HER POLITELY WHEN DID GOD GIVE HER PERMISSION TO TAKE OVER HIS JOB OF JUDGING SINNERS......ASK HER WHERE YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE JOB
