Be Careful!

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we are never to compromise the Word of God, but we are never to go beyond our boundaries. What do I mean? There are people who profess to be Christians who will condemn people personally by name to the Lake of Fire before the Great White throne Judgement when lost people will be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ, and cast into the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:15). There are professing Christians who will name individuals personally, and say, 'They are in hell now!'. That is over stepping the mark. The Bible never teaches Christians have the authority to personally condemn a person by name, Christ has that authority, and Christ will do according to His Word.

We are to tell the truth of God's Word boldly, that all who truly put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to save them by His death, burial and resurrection will go to heaven (John 3:16; John 14:6; Eph. 2:8)  and all who reject Christ and His finished Work when they die will go to hell, and to the Lake of Fire for all eternity because the Bible says, 'And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15). We are never to compromise these truths, but we are never told by God to personally condemn openly by name anyone to the flames of hell, even though they may be there, leave that to God, and let us tell others the good news, so they may not go there. 

You may say, doesn't the Bible tells us that Judas went to hell? I believe the Bible does, but God is telling us that in His Word. There is a big difference when God tells us a person by name is in hell in His Word, than yourself personally condemning a person by name to hell.

You could also be in danger of publicly condemning a person to hell, when that person actually put his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ before he or she took their final breath on this earth
