Faith isn’t proven by how loudly you argue online. It shows up in how you treat the person you disagree with.

Winning an argument in public and holding a conviction are separate activities that look similar from a distance. Volume reads as certainty and is usually just volume. What reveals more is the next thirty seconds: whether you let them finish, whether you repeat their point fairly, whether you stay civil once you are winning. Anyone can state a position; not everyone can be decent while doing it.

Take one argument you are in now, online or at school, and set a rule for yourself. No sarcasm, and no quoting someone out of context. See whether you can be the most reasonable person in the exchange.
