Was this directed at someone here on the site, using "Christian" in quotes and pitying their teaching? I'm asking for some clarification on this.

You say you-all
That implies all.
I'm saying all is synonymous with the remnant of Judah or Israel. I referenced it being scattered everywhere per the tower of Babel.
I'm also saying all is synonymous with all the faithful unto GOD. And seeing as how the Christ of GOD is the only way to GOD, it also follows that all these branches abide in faith in the Christ, and His example, and His teachings.
hope that helps.

"you-all" in John 15 is about disciples who follow Jesus. They-all are the branches and some of them-all may be insincere or uncommitted - like in the parable about the fish-net that came back filled with good and bad fish (the net being the Kingdom of God and the fish being the people in the Kingdom). The insincere/uncommitted would be the branches cut off and burned in John 15. The faithful would be the branches trimmed to increase their fruit production. So I agree that the you-all refers to all the faithful (and some not so faithful) in the Vine (body of Christ/church).
