...but many others also act better than many other others that claim Him. This was also mentioned by Christ directly "...begone from me you workers of iniquity."

Mentioned "directly"? I don't recall in the bible where Jesus said this. Post the verse.

You may also wish to consider Matthew 7:16-23.

This is in Matthew Chapter 7, (NIV):

15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

The last phrase is translated in the KJV as being "workers of iniquity".

Take care for the fruit you are bearing, brother. You may want to brush on The Sermon on the Mount. It includes many fundamental teachings of Christ.
