True christian is just a cop out excuse, people use that word all the time to write off the other christians as fakes. Its so annoying when christians constantly bad mouth other christians and use well they werent true christians, also isnt that judging and arent christians NOT supposed to judge?

Christians are human too - not perfect. We will make mistakes. We are just forgiven and strive to please God. But true Christians are not supposed to judge - you are right.

To them it matters. But they should be able to stand up to criticism based on the very book they use to criticize others. Agreed, it is a cop out. I'm surprised so many are blind to that... or maybe they simply don't care. Either way, it's not an impressive move on their part. As for judging, everyone should judge the actions of others. And the bible does tell them to judge those within their faith to make sure they are of their faith. BUT! They use this just a little too much to write off people they don't particularly like or just downright can't stand. If a person disagrees on one point, yet agrees on the rest (even while arguing), they still write that person off. I don't think I've ever seen a group of people that would throw out the baby with the bath water the way some of these Christians do. And then try to act as if they had some authority to do so and everyone should just agree. It's rather annoying to be drawn into someone's fantasy world without even being asked.

Jesus will be the only judge as to who's a "true" Christian or not.
That's one of the reasons he's scheduled a judgment day .... so everyone will finally know the truth ... who made it ... who didn't ... and why.
Until then, all we can do is struggle with our own weaknesses and imperfections, and hope in Christ that we can make it to heaven.
If some of us don't do it very gracefully, it's a shame, but that's life.
God will (hopefully) forgive, and understand.
Why don't you try it?

Yes, I'm a true Christian atheist..I believe myself to be a Christian atheist and so I am, the rest of you guys are not real Christians at all only Christian atheists are true Christians. You have to have faith and believe that's what people don't understand.

Yes, people use "true Christian" to try to differentiate people they don't like who are Christian from themselves. It is a cop out.

Ya very true,,none of us really knows each others heart like God knows our heart...To be a Christian you do have the right to Righteous Judgement but my question is when does that draw the line...Good question..

I will tell you I am a Christian, but I don't know about you. That is between you and God.
Believing you are a Christian ? Jesus said many will say Lord, Lord, and didn't we do this in your name.... and Jesus said depart... I never knew you.
We need to accept Jesus as Lord.
