You may think how I started the thread was enough for a person with enough experience to realize what I was saying.
You may compare in an example below.
Christian says: That person who calls themself a Christian is not really a Christian.
Atheist says: You are wrong to say that someone who calls themself Christian is not a Christian.
Christian says: Have you ever looked at 1 John 4:1 ?
RoadRunner79,
--See, that is getting a little better. Your first post was fairly cryptic--
Some may think of me as cryptic if they don't have the experience needed to understand me.
Do you not think I posted in an atheist forum and offered a discussion about a comparison of 1 John 4:1 and No True Scotsman Fallacy and sophisms ?
We may agree that the misuse of The No True Scotsman Fallacy will be thought of from that by a person with enough experience.
--There are people; who misuse or don't understand the "No true Scottsman" fallacy. For some, if what they say is correct, then I am also legitimized, in requiring everyone to refer to me as Dr. Murray (Though I have no such degree).
In actuality, I don't think that it is pertinent if they are or are not a Christian, and that Augustine's thoughts; to never judge a philosophy by it's abuse is more relevant.--
Thanks for the comparison. I have experienced the benefit of Augustine's thoughts in the past.
RoadRunner79, you may look at my answers above.

What may you think proves that anyone who claims to be a Christian is one ? Have you ever heard of the burden of proof ?
--And "john" can go fuck himself.--
I'm not hurt by that. I've got the patience.
Minimalist, you may look at my answer above.
