CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE JUDGES!

CHRISTIANS ARE TO FIRST JUDGE THEMSELVES!

1 Corinthians 11:27-31 - Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

2 Timothy 2:19 - Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are His.  And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

CHRISTIANS ARE TO JUDGE OTHERS BY THEIR FRUIT!

Galatians 5:19-23 - Now the works (fruit) of the flesh are manifest, which are these:  adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:  against such there is no law.

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT HOLD UNBELIEVERS TO THE SAME STANDARDS!

Romans 16:17 - Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 - I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:  yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would need to go out of this world.  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; do not even eat with such a man.  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without (unbelievers)?  Do you not judge those who are within (professing believers)?  But those who are without God judges.  Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person (who claims to be a believer, but whose actions betray him).

2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:  for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness?  And what communion has light with darkness?

2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 - And if any man (who claims to be a believer) obeys not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.  Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:  from such turn away.

Titus 3:8-11 - This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.  These things are good and profitable unto men.  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.  A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself.  

 
2 John 1:9-11 - Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God.  He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:  for he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

WARNING:

KNOW THIS!  JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON,

AND HE SHALL JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD!

AT HIS THRONE, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND

EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS HE IS LORD!
