Stories like this just make me mad. Satan doesn't "make" us do anything. We choose to do them because of his influence but the choice is always ours. I hope he learns from his mistakes and becomes a true Christian man.

He's already a "true" Christian, just as the members of Westboro Baptist are true Christians, that the members of the Society of St Pius X are true Christians, and so on. Claiming he is not a "true Christian" is a fallacy, called the no true Scotsman fallacy or an appeal to purity.

CPO Rob Ponce - if we're going to go with the historical route, then "true Christian" would be limited to the Eastern Orthodox Church. Otherwise someone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian.

CPO Rob Ponce - what makes your definition correct? Hence, the ‘no true Scotsman’ fallacy.
