And what if they think they are acting in accordance with christian values? What if they just know something you don't? What if they're right, and you're wrong? How can you tell?
If Ghandi killed people violently would that make him less of a pacifist?
There's the label and then there's the actions which define that label.
I'm a Christian, but sadly most times you wouldn't know it. Even though I wear the label, you couldn't say that most of my actions we're Christ like. Let me generalise: this is most (if not correctly all) Christians. We believe we are flawed and fall short of the glory of God.
So are flawed people who call themselves Christian whilst doing anti Christ stuff, still Christians? Absolutely they are. Are their anti Christ actions Christian... no.
People make mistakes. I could be wrong and another person right in their understanding of what Christ's actions would be. We have some checks for that.
