Since I have been on this site, I have seen a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. There are true believers that know the word of God, and there are so called Christians that are not true believers who think they know the word of God. ninety percent of the time,there are worldly conversations, a lot of idle talk from people who claim to be true believers. Jesus did not lie when he said that you can tell a tree by the fruit that it bears. People who spend ten percent of their time scrolling through the bible picking out scripture,and don't know the meaning. You can't fool a true believer. they know a bad tree from a good one. Just one of God's gifts to his children. Jesus call them blind guides, and those that follow a blind guide will fall in a ditch with the blind guide. Then there are those who come in to learn from others. There is no games in the kingdom of God. Salvation is too important. There are froward people here also that look the other way and ignore people who live in sin, being partakers with them. I might get booted for this, but at least I won;t be going down that broad and wide road, where many follow.
 
Whether someone is a true believer in Jesus or not is not for us to decide. Ultimately God knows the heart. Let him be the judge. Just because people have what one believes as worldly talk or idle talk, that does not mean they are not Christians. Who are we to judge who is and is not Christian? Only God knows the heart.

Now if someone is denying that Jesus rose from the dead for instance, we know the person is not Christian. However if someone is for instance gossiping about someone or people are backbiting one another, we should not say because they are doing these things, they are not Christians. No, we are all sinners and we will all sin. And if someone is living in sin for a while that doesn't mean that they have not received Jesus into their hearts. They might be losing reward in heaven though. In the end, God is the judge not us.

Jesus has said " Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." See Matthew 7:1-2. Be careful that you are not looking at other people's sin without considering your own sin. Jesus speaks against this in Matthew 7:3-5. I don't think you are going to get booted and I really don't think you should get booted. You are simply stating your beliefs just as I am stating mine. Difference of opinions makes way for hopefully but not always healthy debate.
