Scripture will tell you that if it leads to such conclusions as "now i am saved, and look, they do not do this, so they are lost," then you have missed the point. You have found another way to be proud and arrogant. This is outlined in many places, several parables.
28“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘My son, go, work in the vineyard today.’z
29“He answered, ‘I don’t want to! ’ Yet later he changed his mind and went. 30Then the man went to the other and said the same thing.
“ ‘I will, sir,’ he answered. But he didn’t go.
31“Which of the two did his father’s will? ”
but you are welcome to make this about Jews and Christians, if you like.

Was Peter arrogant in
Acts 2 or
Acts 10, when he told them what they needed to do to be saved?
Now, we can present the Gospel in such a way that people are not receptive to it. I believe that is what you may be referring to overall.
We need to live it and be prepared to witness when the time and place is right.
