    This is not the no true Scotsman fallacy. This is people claiming a name while behaving in a way opposite, or at least unrelated, to what that name represents.

    It would be like if I were to vocally claim to be a socialist while actively promoting capitalism in my actions and fighting against socialist causes.

      These people would claim that they are the only TRUE xtians, and declare that other denominations are not “real” xtians (or just call them “pagan”, lol, which is xtian-speak for “RINO”).

      John 3:16 says absolutely nothing regarding behavior. If you claim that someone in their heart doesn’t truly “believe” you are stepping into divine revelation which is solely reserved for god according to Christian doctrine.
