I never declare that anybody else is not a true christian. Actions are often a good indicator, but I leave that judgement up to God.
So you only ascribe the good to Christians, and when they do something you feel is out of the realm of goodness, its not Christian?

I try to follow Jesus' teaching in scripture. Sometimes I probably do mistake my will will for God's. It usually shows in the results of my actions.
I can see how it would, yeah.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
