If someone said to you that someone isn't a Christian and then you worked to use The No True Scotsman Fallacy to show them how you think they were wrong to say that and then later you looked at the words in 1 john 4:1, do you think you would judge yourself wrong for working to prove what you wanted by The No True Scotsman Fallacy ?
Just saying, "someone isn't a Christian," isn't exactly committing the NTS fallacy though, Thomas. It's used in refutation to evidence supporting an argument. You are going to have to give me a more specific example than what you just presented.
LadyForCamus,
I was testing you. Maybe you've learnt something new from it. I don't do it with bad will.
To help, you may think of a Christian saying that another person called a Christian, is not Christian and an atheist thinking they can use The No True Scotsman Fallacy to show how it's wrong of a Christian to say such things.
