You can be religious but lost. It's not about being religious. It's about following Christ. We are NOT supposed to be looking at man but at Christ as our example.
The best way for the enemy to destroy a camp is NOT from the outside but from the inside. It's clear that Satan has infiltrated the camp and walks the aisles of many churches today. Jesus said you will know a tree by its fruit. If a man calls himself a Christian but his fruit is bad (love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, etc) then he most likely is not a Christian no matter what he calls himself.
We should NOT let these "professing Christians" get in the way of going to worship with a local body of believers. We are commanded to do that. There is NO such thing as a lone ranger Christian.
