Often when a Christian gets into the news, or maybe just an AFF thread

, for doing something horrible, out come the explanations: this person is not a
real Christian.
So let's explore this, shall we? It brings up some obvious questions. What is a real Christian? Do real Christians never do horrible things, ever? Do real Christians never do anything even a little bit naughty? How bad is bad enough to declare the person "not a real Christian"?
Just wondering.
