I think you mean that they're acting like petty sheep, right?
Comparing them to wolves is far too generous.

Jesus says in these versus,(28) "Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed you overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God which he purchased with the blood of his own Son.(29) I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, (30) and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves."
So, as we can see from these verses, there will be wolves among the flock to draw the sheep away from the teachings of Jesus. The words "from among you yourselves" shows that they are within the congregation, making it difficult to tell the difference. Which is why we are admonished to "Pay attention" . So, really they are not christians. True Christians are defined by their behavior.
I have to respond to the answer using Jehovah's Witnesses as an example.I don't know where you got your info, but I know a Jehovah's Witness and actually took the tim e to listen and ask questions. They do not baptize the dead.
They believe the only way you can truly be baptized is first having accurate knowledge of the Bible. So you make a decision for yourself to be baptized.No one else can make it for you. So, only post the facts that you have actually researched.

Because Christians are humans first and Christians second. It doesn't matter what faith you profess... You are still a person first.
And people are wolves, not sheep. Period. It's what I like to call 'human nature'. We are a violent species.... It's in our genetics.
Sorry for the reality check.

because that's the way they were raise and the kind of church teaches them to go out and preach the world about the Savior but they get to harsh at the chance at getting their head challenged like when a Jehovah witness came to the door they act like theses wolves you spoke about the call themselves Christians but they truly aren't they baptize their dead when alot knows there's only one life to count for what you done on earth in front to be seen that you asked for for giveniness before you get judged you have to be baptized in the sprit of life to get the washing of sinns. without life your dead there has to be life to be truily baptized.

And why so many questions about Christian's. Talk about stereo typing. Give it a rest all of you, for Gods sake, enough already.

Because they do not follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
