How do we know that we should not judge other Christians?

Answered in 1 source

We should not judge other Christians because, as Jesus said, 'He who is not against us is for us.'

In the passage of Luke 9:49-50, the disciples, primarily John, express concern over someone who was casting out demons in Jesus' name but was not part of their group. Jesus' response highlights the principle of inclusivity within the body of Christ—if someone is performing good works in His name, they should not be hindered. This passage teaches that the divisions that separate Christians can unintentionally lead to an unholy exclusiveness that undermines the unity of the Church. As followers of Christ, we are called to encourage one another and recognize that, even amidst our differences, those who uplift the name of Jesus and oppose sin are allies rather than enemies.
