Humans are a very judgmental specie, even though we should not be because we have no right to judge. It is human nature to pre-judge but that doesn't mean we should be prejudice. Pre-judging is making a decision about someone when you first met, or even just after seeing or hearing about this person. These decisions are based on how a person carries him or herself. A pre-judged opinion can be changed after getting to know a person. Prejudice is when you judge a person based on the group of people (s)he is associated with due to shared interested or characteristics. Most prejudice start because some individuals in the group of people will do some undesirable actions staining the image of that person's group. For instance many different denominations of Christianity have bad stigmas because of the acts of ungodly individuals. He welcomes all to His kingdom, and I urge all to come, but do not tarnish the name of the Lord, by confessing the name of the Lord without first truly believing in the Lord and knowing Him as Savior. Words that leave the tongue without first visiting your heart are like birds who try to fly without first being taught.
I was once a bird who could not fly, I confessed my place in His Kingdom before knowing Him, the King and the door keeper. That my friends, does more harm to His kingdom than blasphemy. With blasphemy His servants know to arm themselves with His armor, but when you infiltrate His servants trust by portraying yourself as His servant than you are most useful for the dark enemy, for you can make many stumble in there walks. By confessing your salvation you are confessing your devotion to follow the model of Jesus, to get closer to Him, so He may lead you to His father. How, I ask, can you follow a model you've never seen? You see by saying you have been cleansed white as snow by the grace of Jesus Christ when you have not, makes others hesitate to find God, when they see the filth that is still on you, for you were never cleansed.
I am not saying not to confess the Lord as King in truth that is all you need to accomplish in this world, but believe first than confess second. You can only take the joy He gives you in to heaven so why concentrate too much on anything else. Also immediately after you're saved your prime objection in life is to lead others to the most vital choose of existence, the choose to Christ. Basically what this whole post is saying is don't talk the talk if you're not going to walk the walk.
