God has no problem with correcting professing Christians when they are clearly wrong.

You do it quite regularly, actually, with your comments about 'you and you are going to hell'.
They are if they are not born again. That is not my judgement, but God's Word.
Within the terms of your religion, it is not for you to judge the nature of another's relationship with god. Only your god has the right to do that
See above.
Indeed, one might also point out Christ's teaching about not being seen carrying out your devotions – frankly, most of what you do on this forum is a version of that: 'Look at me – I'm the one with a relationship with Jesus; I'm the one who's right and you're all wrong and going to hell. Aren't I so completely the most wonderfully religious person you've ever seen?'
I am not religious.
It's in Matthew somewhere – I think Jesus describes people like you as hypocrites.
Biblically speaking, a hypocrite is a person who shows off but does not have a true relationship with God. I do have that relationship.
It's not evangelism. It's showing off. And judgmentalism. Pure and simple.
You are working for Satan. Don't tempt me.
