A true Christian is continuously taught many good things by GOD, including to be humble like the CHRIST, not arrogant! A true Christian knows that but for the grace of GOD he/she would still be under wrath, so where does arrogance come in?
I have stated before - per the Bible, which is truth - that not everyone who claims to be a Christian is in fact so. The Lord GOD knows those who are His - 2 Timothy 2:19

Could it be that (hypothetically) the vast majority of Christians are not true Christians? After all... according to what you just said, only God knows who is the true Scotsman (err- I mean, Christian.)
The reason I ask is, if it were the case (hypothetically) that your religion consisted mostly of untrue Christians, then maybe your entire religion isn't something a "true Christian" would want to be involved in.
