The tares look like wheat, smell like wheat and yet bear only ungodly fruit. No I do not know as born again person like that but I know several who are deluded and being deluded into thinking that they are born again while the whole time rejecting God's Word. There are of course those who taste of God nad never enter His Kingdom:
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
But these fell after coming to God. I am referring to lost sheep who take the Name of Christ yet never walk His way or repent.
