Do they issue you score cards in Sunday school? How is this rated and determined? Do you deduct 10 points for someone celebrating halloween, add 5 for someone who goes to church every Sunday, deduct 20 for being the "wrong" denomination, etc?
How do you judge...errrr.....I mean rate, other christians?

Be honest folks,,,we see it all the time here... "But that person isn't a TRUE christian..."

The sad thing is there are Christians that are just like that.
The good thing is that not every Christian is like that.
I, for example.
God bless.

It is not my place to "keep track" of who is a true Christian and who is not. When a Christian states that a person is not a true Christian is their opinion because of the way another is not showing the love of God. But we are not suppose to judge. But when some one asks a question that's says something like.>( if they are such a good Christian then why did they do this, or that). Then another Christian will say that they are not a true Christian. Although I agree that there are some out there that do not show the true love of God in the way they answer or ask their questions, i am not the one to tell them so. That judgement is for God. I have my own opinion of whether they are true or not, but it is not my place to tell them.

Fake Christians= somebody who calls themselve Christian, makes mistakes, hurts others, ect. and dosnt give a d@mn about it. The Bible describes them as "wolves in sheep's clothing."
Real Christians= somebody who calls themselves a Christian, makes mistakes, hurts others, ect but cares about it and tries to do better.
By definition, a Christian is somebody who believes in Jesus and tries to follow his teachings. If a person calls themselves christian but has no desire to follow how can they be Christian?
An example would be a girl I knew from high school. She was involved in wicca, didnt believe in God or Jesus, yet called herself a Christian to keep her parents happy.
But nobody, at least not anyone I know, "keeps score" of what somebody does wrong. Its none of my business bc that is between them and God and I have no right to judge.
BUT!!! yes many Christians do judge others...and each other
and also many dont.

God does not supply us loose will. If component are already destined to ensue, for occasion predictions of doom sooner or later in accordance the bible.. the place is the loose will? there is none,.. additionally what with regards to the mentally ill? What does god say approximately that? technological expertise has shown that with no healthful functioning strategies, one isn't able to make sparkling and judgment of right and incorrect judgements? when you consider that God is familiar with all and created all, he's familiar with of those human beings born with the psychological annoying situations to think of for themselves. faith is a extremely clever thank you to regulate the masses of folk, faith is artificial. The very people who wrote the bible do no longer have confidence their own lies.

The New Testament is the guide. If someone does not believe all the New Testament, they are NOT a Christian. I do not judge them, They are judged by the things written. Christians must judge people because Christians are to withdraw from certain people in the church (thieves, liars, sexual deviates, fornicators and many more). The only way they can do that is to judge by their fruit. We cannot judge their thoughts and intentions, only their actions.

“Every tree is known by its own fruit” (Luke 6:44). Although God ultimately knows everyone’s heart (i.e., whether someone is saved or not), Christians can usually tell who's real or not by what they say or do. This is the fruit of what’s in their heart. And of course, the Holy Spirit will give me witness as to what I’m viewing or sensing is right or not. So what I see (i.e., the way they talk and act) may be different from what I sense (i.e., that something’s not right = that they’re not real Christians). And usually, what I sense proves to be right in the end.

My relationship with God is the one I concentrate on. That being said if one professes to be in the faith but their works are not of the faith then I don't associate with them. I still do not judge them only God knows the heart but we as Christians are to discern between right and wrong.

I saw a recent answer from a christian lady. She said--I read all of the other answers that you got to this question and all of them were wrong. There were like 20 answers.
The sad part was She was serious.

No I do not sit in judgement of people, I find it more rewarding in my life to make sure that I am doing the right things according to God's Word, as for other people they are answerable to God on their own behalf as I am answerable for my own behalf not anyone else's, I am not their Judge, that is not my job! Therefore I do not rate them at all!

I'm a very vocal member of the Roman Catholic church. I usually get disqualified for the "real Christian" category right from the get-go. So I won't be much help to you, I'm afraid.
