It is up to the Christ to say who He considers to be one of his followers and who is not:

Luke 6:46
(46) And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Later, He dictates to John, who writes in Revelation 22:

Revelation 22:11-15:

(11) He acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly. And the filthy, let him be filthy still. And the righteous, let him be righteous still. And the holy, let him be holy still.

(12) And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his work is.

(13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.

(14) Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city.

(15) But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie.

(and ‘dogs’ is slang for homosexuals)

What are “His commandments”?

Mark 10:19
(19) You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and your mother.

God is not mocked! It is pretty clear who strives to conform their public actions and private thoughts to what Jesus says and who does not. This is why there is so much push-back on the left to any discussion about this in the public square.

Pleas allow me to add that I don’t know what BHO really believes. I only can make conclusions based on his actions, the policies he supports, the policy suggestions that he rejects, the people he associates with, those he invites to the White House frequently, those people he declines to meet with and those people he speaks against.

BHO advocates taking money from some citizens and “spreading the wealth around” as he famously was video taped saying to Joe the Plumber. That is overt coveting and theft. That is not a Christian value. But even many Catholic priests believe in doing the same in the name of “social justice.”

If Jesus would ask BHO the same question that he asked in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard in Matthew 20:15, we already know from his many speeches that BHO’s answer would be “no” while Our Lord’s answer would be yes:

“Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own?”

It is not for me to judge BHO. But what is evident about whatever “faith” he has is that it is more in harmony with socialist values than with Christian ones. And even a Christian should know that socialism is based on lies, coveting and theft. They should also know from the words of Our Savior in Revelation chapter 22 that no liar or thief has eternal life.
