Because they did not BELIEVE. See John 3:18. Again, 1 John 2:3-4 is the effect and not the cause of knowing or not knowing the Lord. You are teaching salvation by works.
Also, when you read John 3:18, you also have to keep reading on into the "reference to the Condemntation" in John 3:19-21. Verse 20 makes it really clear. It says all who do evil hate the light. So if a believer in the Belief Alone camp says they can sin and still be saved on occasion because their future sins are paid for by Jesus, they are not telling the truth because John 3:20 says all who do evil hate the light. The true light that lights the way of every man.
