Re: How to tell a real Christian from an imposter
Darn, I thought you were going to suggest something like tying them up, throwing them in a lake and seeing which ones float.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Ring any bells, Nehor?
So because of that scripture you think you can defend your position that Christian means 'good'?
Wow........
So, you're admitting that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young weren't good people? :D
Read the title of the tread - it says real Christian. As in, a sincere Christian. As in, someone who values forgiveness over vengeance. Someone who loves his enemies.
Thanks for the softball, Nehor :)

Nope, just pointing out how stupid your criteria is.

So 'real Christians' are actually Jews, Buddhists, and atheists because you appended 'real' to the word? You're insane.

Thanks for establishing that you're an irrational dissembler redefining words to score polemical points. Luckily here there are enough of Scratch's simpering fellators around to allow you to maintain the delusion that you make sense.

You come off pretty butthurt. But the fact remains, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young don't qualify as real Christians. Just believing in Jesus isn't enough (and you could argue that their belief in so many other things that supercede Jesus crowds out whatever nominal belief they might have had). You have to walk the walk and behave like a Christian. They didn't even come close.

I am not sure how you tell a real Christian from an Imposter, but one example of a real Christian,
Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
Imposters, some poor sucker like me who would struggle even in trying to catch her up.
