What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

Disowning them as not true Christians is sometimes just a convenient way to make yourself appear cleaner. What does that change for the rest of the world? They're still there calling themselves Christians with plenty of arguments to back them up. They're still a self-proclaimed Christian group acting like dicks and making people dislike Christians. The problem doesn't go away like this.

At least I still see a lot of Christians calling them out for their actions and trying to correct them, so it's not like this is being ignored entirely. That's good.

I agree that believing Jesus was the son of God is a base requirement of Christianity. WBC falls in line with this. If you want to have a debate about what a Christian should act like, you should tell them. Telling me won't change anything at all. I still see two groups calling themselves true Christians and nothing improving because of it.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
