The point is, do not beat on what people now know. God will bring His people to the point where they know Him and want to serve Him.
Not shocking at all. Rather astute, actually. If we want to ignore and be done with the folks who don't look, sound, smell, feel, or taste like a "Christian" or "follower" or whatever, we will eliminate some pretty hefty names in history, beginning with major ones right out of our own Bible. If I have learned anything in trying to be what Jesus wants me to be (Matthew 5-7), it is that trying to outguess, outsmart, and outmaneuver God is THE losing proposition. In keeping with the painfully true constant, that mankind can mess up a home run, we ought to let God do what He does and stay out of His way.

Blessings...
