When we as believers label others who are different than what we perceive to be the norm, we are alienating them and in essence taking the place of God the Father and the Holy Spirit. This is but another reason why many in the secular world are put off by the Gospel and will have nothing to do with Christianity. The word of God is direct and straight forth in its direction to believers. We are to help and care for those who are different than us. We are to love them with the love of Christ. We are never to judge them, alienate them, or label them. When we put a label on someone, be they the saved or unsaved we are placing a wedge between us and them. When we labels those that are different than us for lack of a better explanation, we limit the ability of God to work in us a His representatives to the world. We are to be salt and light to the world. We are to be led by the Holy Spirit who in turn draws all unto Christ that redemption might have its way in their hearts.
