For me based in my observation if taking about unbeliever our 1 expression is, a "sinner" but in reality also a Christian can commit immoral like fornication, adultery, gossip, back bitter and judgmental. Unbeliever and Christian are the same....

Hi dude..just want to clarify you something about its differences. the Bible tells us that there are 3 kinds of man: the natural, the carnal and the spiritual. the first category includes the unbelievers, those who are still unaware of the truth, committing sin, and didn't know Jesus. The second one are those who receive Jesus but did not turn back from their sins. people who used to call themselves "Christians" but cannot see the fruit of receiving Jesus in their lives. The last will be those who truthfully receive salvation from their heart and live the Word that God has given to them.
you seem pertaining to those Christians who are still carnal in living their faith. i advise you not to be judgmental based on what you can see by your naked eye and please don't generalized people through your criticism. :)
the one you're talking about are not real Christians. and also, we who received Christ as our savior are not still perfect. we can still commit mistakes just like a simple human do. we are still living in God's grace that whenever we do so, we ask asap forgiveness in His name. Godbless^_^

So meaning you are the holy and anointed one? Those people who are received Jesus Christ are Christian can still commit mistakes or sin! I have a friend, he was a son of pastor but his attitude and character are very evil.... I'm not judging for what i can see but i want to tell to everyone what i witness...

we have to work for our own salvation so it doesn't mean that once your parents are all believers their son will also be saved. not quite like that. i could say he is in carnal category...:)

All people "sin". The Bible says so, so that's just ironic that someone who believes in the Bible would say otherwise. All people are equal. I find it funny that people actually think that they are better than someone else because they don't hold the same beliefs. It's ridiculous. Religious beliefs is not what makes a person. Believing that it does just creates a malicious heart. How can one speak of peace when they are always cutting other people down? You are right that the unbeliever and the Christian are the same. Namaste.

I must take exception here. A Christian is someone who embraces the dogma of Christian mythology. It is both intolerant and prideful to apply the label of unbeliever or sinner to those who do not share your beliefs. I am not a Christian but I do follow the teachings of my religion and deeply resent derogatory labels being applied to me because my belief do not correspond to yours.
