This may be one of the most unchristian, debased articles we have ever read by the Doctrinal Police. Can you imagine? A person sets out to rate Christians in order to determine who is the worst one.

This author does not edify. He does not offer correction. He makes no effort to offer a solution.
Ironically, he begins by conceding that it is "pharisaical" to ask who the worst Christian is, but goes on to say he can still "fairly" ask the question, with the thinnest of justifications: The perceived damage done to the Church.
But he doesn't provide the Scriptural documentation of this. In fact, he doesn't quote a Scripture, reference a Scripture, or explain any Scriptural principle. At all. Period.
We should note that we do not intend to defend Mr. Mohler, we are simply interested in the egregious presentation of the author.
Lastly, as we have noted elsewhere, there is no biblical principle that can be invoked to call out errant Christians who are not part of the congregation. All the correction and discipline contained in the NT was local correction by those in authority in that church.
Thus the bomb-throwing from afar is not biblical and not appropriate.
