Although we are admonished against 'judging' others, we are instructed that we must 'discern' right from wrong.
Each individual will stand or fall, be accepted into or denied heaven on only one question: "What did he do with JESUS?"
Did he accept or reject the CHRIST who died so he could live?
Only GOD can see hearts. Only GOD knows whether a person has received JESUS as SAVIOR or turned HIM away from his heart.
All anyone else can ascertain is the fruit of his life, which may or may not be representative of his spiritual condition.
While we cannot judge others, we can evaluate the fruit of their lives.
More importantly, we must assess ourselves to see if there be any wicked way within us--and if there is, we must allow the candle of GOD to reveal it to us and to root it out.
We must judge ourselves so we may stand righteous before the LORD on Judgement Day.
