I am so priviledged to get to be part of this community. You all are so welcoming. You have made me smile. Thank you. I admire the Jesus in you as well. You are a blessing to me, as well at you so many others, Brother. Our Lord is the reason why. Because of Him we all get to be family. He is our family tree.
I am simply reflecting you 
(Or perhaps rather aspiring to reflect the life of Christ I see in you.)

There's an old saying that was written into a movie script years ago. "The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room." A loud voice that insists on commanding attention, pejoratives slung about to disguise the speakers own ignorance of a thing and put attention on the one labeled with the pejorative, therein making it seem necessary they then defend against the false charge so as to distract from the patent fact the one calling names remains ignorant, are all tactics employed by the insecure.
In any area of life. On a Bible believers forum it isn't uncommon to find that at all.
God said it simply enough, though it would seem to counter what being a member of a discussion forum is all about. "Be still and know I AM God."
Has any one of us read someone who appears not to have to go out of their way to be a rude, insulting dolt? That which can't actually respond to a post that questions the level of their personal knowledge about a topic with reason and class and in the spirit of Christ. Rather, they resort to the worst behavior, demeaning terms used to assail the one they're responding to, just to get out from under the fact, no longer able to be edited due to the time limit, that they really don't know what they're talking about when talking scripture.
I think that personality is what the OP begins to bring our attention to. God's affording us the opportunity to put his words into action.
Be reasonable when encountering the unreasonable. Recognize we're not talking to someone who is actually in Christ but is a pretender exposed.
Never let the Devil bring you to his level. He wins. And you make a mockery of what you claim to have learned at the knee of the Master, Christ.
God see's everything. Even those who pretend to know him.

You have a lovely OP and I am not wanting to derail it, but it is not right that someone should make such disparaging remarks as to the status of person in Christ.

1 Corinthians 5:12-13
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

Surely, you cannot possible apply what Paul wrote to the assembly at Corinth, a face to face, real time group of believers dealing with sexual immorality, to an online discussion board.
You have no scriptural basis for that, nor does the scripture you gave, state to judge a man's heart and their salvation, you are reading that into the text.

I have a suggestion. Take your cup of tea and look up 1 Corinthians and read all of chapter 5.
You asked for an example of what Paul said about judging righteously and you got it. Now you're trying to state it is not applicable because you think it the chapter applies to homosexuality only.

I never once thought you were referring to me, I am not sure who you are referring to unless you want to be more specific.
I do think the statement was toward someone and on CC and I do not think it is justifiable.
btw ....I rarely report people
Well, I'll not agree and think to say Jesus, the Apostles , nor Paul were wrong in their teachings as to our right to judge based on righteous judgement.
Every Christian alive is able to say Jim Jones was false. David Koresh too.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

That is the blessing of unique individual opinion. You are able to think it is not justifiable. Others, including myself, are able to discern the very real fact that an Internet forum is not an exemption for unrighteous behavior cloaked in the name of Christ.
In simple terms, how someone who claims the name of Christ behaves in print is worthy of judgment just as it would be if they were speaking that same way before someone who is in Christ and yet blind.
The spirit within the Christian is holy.
The spirit within the sinner is not.
The two are distinguishable even in the dark.
