15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

So you think Jesus' warning above gives you license to decide for everyone whether they are true Christians or not?
See,
bearbear, it's that kind of response that makes you sound like a religionist. Instead of understanding my point as I meant it and as I'm sure you know I meant it, you take it to an extreme.
Just about every rule has an exception. It doesn't take a genius to jump on the exception to what someone says and quote a verse in order to back yourself up. This is becoming your pattern and it's boring. You sound like my pre-teen sons when they take the opposite side of what I say just to give me a hard time. If I'm not charmed by them I'm certainly not going to be charmed by you.
