Sincerity in belief does not allow the heart and tongue to contradict one another. To state one belief aloud while inwardly concealing its opposite is not consistency between appearance and conviction.
Rather, what is professed as religion and creed is also accepted inwardly. Conviction is not merely a public statement designed for others to hear.
Rejection of hypocrisy in this context means not maintaining two opposed positions, one on the tongue and another in the heart.
