1) what's the difference in my attitude/actions between those I consider brothers/sisters in Christ and those who are not;

Ok, well answered; but we have come a ways from the days when 'church' was the community we lived in. Practically speaking, we are in a different world now. So I'm curious how you might judge a stranger with whom circumstances have thrown you together, with this model? What I see happening in reality is that folks with this mindset tend to exclude all as brothers until some arbitrary, and usually pointless, benchmark is perceived to have occurred in the part of the other; rather than the other way around?
