7. The Bible says we aren’t supposed to judge people.
Jesus did tell us that in Matthew 7:1-3, but in that context, He was talking about judging our neighbors’ hearts or their motives.
1 John 4:1 is very clear in telling us that we ARE to judge people’s doctrine (what they teach): “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many FALSE PROPHETS are gone out into the world.”
We are not qualified to judge who will go to hell; however, putting someone in heaven is the same judgment. No, we cannot judge who will be saved and who will be lost because God has already made that judgment:
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5).
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy ghost.” (Acts 2:38)
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…” (Mark 16:16).
If we were to judge, we might say, “He that just believes – plus nothing, minus nothing – shall be saved.”
