He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. - Matthew 12:30 This is a statement of fact, not a admonishment or guideline on how to treat people.
We can accept this as Truth and still approach the unbelieving or fallen away with love and respect. Sometimes we forget that He most of all has the right to be offended by mans rejection, yet still chooses to offer Salvation. Can we hold ourselves in any higher regard?

Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."
But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."
Luke 9:49-50
