A little over a year ago, the Vigilant "Christian" Mario got caught red-handed in all kinds of perversion and sin. He was sending naked pictures of himself to his friends, he called escorts, he masturbated on camera and sent it to a girl. Christian video makers on YouTube came out with videos rebuking the Vigilant Christian. Instead of repenting and getting born again, the Vigilant Christian tried to justify his sin by listing a bunch of old testament figures that were committing sin (Lot committing incest etc.), he even listed the Apostle Paul killing Christians (not realizing that Paul was a lost man when he was killing Christians). Mario was also referring to the people rebuking him as "Pharisees" and "judgemental," thus proving he is not repentant. He also twists scriptures like John 8:7 to try and get people to stop rebuking him. Mario also said that God was punishing him and chastening him (which is utter insanity, God wasn't punishing him, he just got caught in sin).
Mario has a habit of refusing to take rebukes and corrections. When somebody rebukes him, Mario typically says the following:
"Don't judge me."
"You are a self-righteous pharisee."
"You are not without sin."
"We are all sinners."
"You are not being very Christian."
"You are legalistic."
Mario equates rebuking sin with being legalistic and a self-righteous pharisee. What Mario doesn't realize is that rebuking sin and judging righteous judgement is not only scriptural, it's actually commanded.
We are supposed to test the spirits (1 John 4:1-3).
We can judge righteous judgement (John 7:24).
We can inspect a preacher's fruits (Matthew 7:15-20).
We can know a tree by its fruit (Matthew 12:23).
Paul tells the Corinthian church that fornicators, drunkards, idolaters, railers, extortioners, or a covetous person should be cast out of the church (1 Corinthians 5:9-13). By Mario's standard, Paul was a self-righteous pharisee for judging.
Paul says that fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, sodomites, thieves, covetous people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The kingdom of God is spiritual fellowship with God (Romans 14:17), Paul said that you are out of fellowship with God if you are involved in serious sin. Paul would have been called judgemental and self-righteous by Mario.
Jesus Christ said that evil thought, adultery, fornication, murder, theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness come from the heart of man (Matthew 7:21-23). Mario would have called Jesus Christ a pharisee.
The Vigilant Christian is NOT vigilant and he is NOT a Christian, he is a false convert. He needs to drop his pride and come to God as a sinner and repent.
