No , we are called upon to pray for all and to love even enemies .
This.
What I was trying to point out is that unless we hate someone completely arbitrarily, which I'm sure we all know is wrong, we're hating the actions of the individual and not the individual themselves. But we must remember the sin that still works in all of us, even us who have been regenerated. Thus, we must strive to love and pray for the repentance of even the misguided, belligerent, or even demon driven. Even when we pray or sing the
imprecatory psalms, we do so against sin and the devil, not individuals who can still repent. We pray them as we pray for justice and out of jealously for our God's character, His Law, not out of a hatred for some person who personally angers us. Kill um with kindness and pray for their souls, for God's will, will be done.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. To the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:19-21 ESV)
