This entire world is God's creation & there is nothing else any honest man is actually concerned with. God is the fabric of reality that brought the universe & everything in it, including us & this world, into existense. If you want to understand God, understanding the world is basically all we've got.

The only divide that I can see which makes any sense is social status vs truth. That which is only part of a person's imaginary little world vs the lasting truth of reality & existence.

But that would also kinda make the sort of people who are overly concerned about who qualifies as *real* Christian exactly the sort of status chasers that are concerned with the wrong things.

Christians do believe there are real Christians and fake Christians because the Bible tells us this.

Matthew 7:21-23

English Standard Version

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Yes, I like that passage a whole lot, but it sounds to me like it is speaking of all the status chasers claiming to do things "in the name of the Lord."

Jesus didn't spend his time focused on what group people belonged to.
