When Christians (those that follow the Lord and does HIS WILL and not what we choose) - sin, they know it, the HOLY SPIRIT convicts them and they repent.

So if I see you do something habitually that is sin (gossip, pride, boasting, gluttony etc) I can safely make the judgment that you are unrepentant and therefore not a Christian.

She enjoys her sinful lifestyle. Big difference.

What person, Christian or non-Christian doesn't enjoy a particular vice they are involved with?

She is not living a Christian lifestyle.

I said the same thing in my post. We can judge what fits a Christian lifestyle. But we cannot with all certainty judge the person as non-Christian in their heart.

You can do whatever pleases you. You seem to have a thing about "judging and condemning".

According to you, if the terrorist's started calling themselves Christians, you would say "now, we don't know if they aren't Christians in their hearts".

I REPEAT - "WE will know them by their fruits". AMEN

If you don't believe God when He says that - don't.
I believe it and if a non - Christian asks me, "Can I live like her and be a Christian" - I would say NO! According to your thinking, you would say, "If in your heart you think you are a Christian, and since everyone sins, it would be ok".

If I believe in my heart that I am the smartest person in my neighborhood, does that make it so? I could be deceived. So believing something in my heart is just something I want to believe about myself and according to you - I must be right. Instead of you taking a stand and showing me the errors of my boastful 'heartful thinking' - you will let me slide into my boastful ways since it is what I believe in my heart.

Be Hot or Cold but lukewarm - I will spew you out of my mouth.

The porn babe can do whatever she wants - she knows exactly what she is doing and I am not condemning or judging BUT I will not let it pass saying her lifestyle is that of a Christian just because she believes it in her heart. She is deceived. Only a fool rejects correction.
