By doing it, spread the word without judging. Why would you judge the lost? To what end? If you suceeded in making every sinner not sin, they still would not be saved would they? It's supposed to be the other way around, first the salvation, then the rest. Jesus himself said "for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." and "Ye judge after the flesh; judge no man." (Of course there's other scriptures where Jesus says he judges people, but that's another discussion)

There is no "right" person to marry. I married a person whom I love and who loves me back, and we're both comitted to our relationship and making it work. It's that commitment that MAKES that person the right person.
I know many pastors, and have known many. But I've never "known" when one was a real man of God and another wasn't. But I see you are unwilling to give any other answer.
Many of the pastors I have known I think of as great
men. Because of how they treated others, how they loved and respected everyone (not just those in their flock or those that shared their beliefs). A number have had a great impact on my life. But so have other men who had nothing to do with the church.
