So many people call themselves Christian but are NOT
A true Christian does not believe that its OK to sin "because Jesus died for" him 2000+ years ago and forgives everything... EVEN before the sin is committed! Jesus CAN and does forgive sins but not if someone is not sorry, does not repent of it, does not make "a firm purpose of amendment" as the words of Absolution (in the RCC) puts it.
A person who hates others and does them wrong is violating Christ's Commandment to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Yes, we have all violated that one, at least with words. But some Christians realize or suspect when they may be doing this and... again: REPENT.
If you are not repenting daily of your sins and attempting to get rid of them
Sorry, but you are not a true Christian.
Jesus said that FEW find the narrow Way. (Mt 7:14, Lk 13:24...). The canonized saints say EXCEEDINGLY few
