I think scripture is clear how we should respond towards unbelievers who sin ... evangelize them.
And, it's clear how we should respond to believers who sin ... rebuke them, and if they persist in sin, avoid them.
But, what do we do about our adult children who claim to be christians but are demonstrating they're not by their lifestyle?
Treat them as believers (as they claim), and avoid them?
Or, treat them as unbelievers (as they clearly are), and continue to engage them and evangelize as opportunities arise?
Confused.
