Matthew 7[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
“Jesus never knew these people and yet it would appear to anyone on earth that they were firm Christians.”I am a Christian today. You’re saying that Christ might not have ever known me?
If Jesus never knew them, how could they have been Christians?

The answer is no. Appearances can be deceiving. They appeared to be Christians, but were not, because Jesus never knew them.
