Actually Jesus said, "With God all things are possible." and my first quote was from Paul, no longer Saul, try to keep up.
I call him Saul, Just like I call Mewhammed Ali Cassius Clay.
Although I do admire your scholarly advise.
Try not to contradict yourself it ain't seemly.

He could also ask christians since they seem to know who is a true christian and who isn't.
I'd say anyone who calls himself a christian is a christian. Just like I'd say anyone who calls themselves an atheist is an atheist.
Except that I know that upsets people cause some people who call themselves something sometimes do stupid dangerous things under that guise and then they all get called on it.
So...the question should be "who gets to appoint the title of christian on someone?"
Evangelists are in many aspects, another type of politician. Very few are involved in charity activities with the exception of those who for publicity reasons have a token part of their organization directed to that. In my home town of Phoenix there are thousands of Christians and non Christians who "behind the scenes" are involved in charity dining rooms, food banks and rescue missions. What is visible to the public eye is not always indicative of the groups as a whole. We are reactionary sometimes. We see a negative aspect of something and make a knee jerk determination that all of it is that way, which is never the true picture. This is true from both sides of the coin. Theist and Atheist alike. Seem like it's been that way for some time.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."(Matthew 7:21 NIV)
those you may call not christians believe they are doing "the will of "his" father who is in heaven. They believe the same way you believe you are doing the will of his father who is in heaven.
They don't believe differently. Their believe is coming from the very same spot in their brain as you believe is coming from.
