A personal pet peeve of mine is when I see friends and others I know posting bible verses and whatnot on social media, but in real life they live nothing that they show or say on those sources of social media. I call those "Fake Christians" who do it just for the image but want to live however they want to live. In other terms, what is most troubling to me is how difficult it actually is to be received into Heaven. And a lot of people don't actually understand that. Going to church and reading the bible, praying every now and then isn't enough to reserve your spot in heaven. And I wonder every single day whether or not I will be accepted. It drives me to build a stronger relationship not only with God, but also with my fellow Christians as well as my non-christian friends and coworkers.

Well according to the bible if you accept Jesus as your savior you're in heaven. You can't be a good person and gain entrance according to the bible.

Fake Christians are very detrimental to Christianity as a whole. I think many of them do it because they've heard about what hell is supposed to be like and think that going to church on Sundays reserves a ticket in heaven.

Fake Christians can cause newer Christians to be led astray or even give non-Christians a bad idea of what being a Christian is all about. SO yes, very detrimental.
