Agree. The same chapter also says that you will know them by their fruits.
Good to know some are still discerning.
Blessings to you
Indeed, we will know who is of God by their fruit.
The original point I was getting at by my very short original reply is this. Too many churches quote the first line of this chapter and use it as an admonition against ALL judging. The laity then take that message and whenever someone corrects their conduct and/or fruit, the first thing they scream out is... YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME.. and proceed to quote the first line of scripture.
God continues to explain that we are to be without hypocrisy when we use judgment in correction, rebuke, exhortation, etc.
5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
The key issue is, once we are not in hypocrisy for what we need to address to our brother in sin, then we can clearly see how to help remove the speck from our brother's eye. This requires addressing the issue at hand which to the mind of the sinning brother, is "judgment" according to the lukewarm teachings of these modern churches.
Paul even expounds on this issue in 1 Corinthians 5. He is addressing sin in the church that is defiling that church (well the entire letter is an open rebuke to the church). Specifically he addresses those who profess to be of Christ and are brothers yet allow sin to reign in their lives. One can connect this with the three admonitions if they choose to for removing leaven from the church. Anyways, Paul speaks in the last two verses about judgment.
12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
Inside what? Outside what? Paul is referring to those inside the body of Christ and outside the body of Christ. We are asked and exhorted to examine our own fruit. We are also exhorted to help a brother who is in sin.
Furthermore, we have to understand that when it comes to judgment, we are not judging the heart or heart intent of other people. We are exhorted to judge the actions, fruit, doctrine, and what one professes to believe of those who are IN the Body of Christ by comparing it to scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Once again, we do not judge the heart, (because only God knows the heart, not even ourselves).
