In American context, judging someone implies that it's an assumption you've made, probably instantaneously, and with little or no reason for that judgment.
Coming to a conclusion implies that you've gathered some facts, thought about, and formed an opinion.
So the former is a knee-jerk reaction with no thought involved, and the latter requires thought.

What is in the heart is spoken by the mouth, and acted out by one's deeds. You know where someone stands by his speech and works. By this, you know if someone is being obedient to the Lord's commands or not. If unsure, we should always err on the side of caution. For believers, the Bible specifies very specific ways to confront and handle a sinning believer.
To speak the Truth and hold one another accountable is biblical, and what we are called to do. The message will split even families like a 2-edged sword...the message may be misconstrued as intolerant and therefore wrong. In any case, these things do not judge a person. Judgement is the determination of another's worthiness - often worthiness to live. The government has the biblical right to do this, but not individuals. Christ died for all of us...and we are all sinners. By respecting Christ first, we, too, love one another. God is the only authority to judge mankind -- even to justly condemn the unfaithful to an eternal, miserable, hopeless hell. God also has the authority to imput Christ's righteousness upon the faithful, and bring them into His fellowship forever.

There's nothing wrong with judging other people or coming to conclusions about them. We do it all the time. Where it goes wrong is in judging a person too soon, without giving them a chance, or judging on the wrong factors. For example, you can have a very rich person who dresses nice, looks great, but is fundamentally dishonest, cheats people, abuses people, but a homeless person in dirty clothes could easily be much more honest, decent, kind, and you'd never know it to look at them.

Judging someone is when you put an opinion about him. Coming to a conclusion can be proven with facts. For example, if you see a guy looks like he is hiding something, then you say "he looks sneaky, he must be a thief, what a loser", then that's judging someone.
However, if you see the same person stealing something in the store, then you say "he is stealing something, he must be a thief, what a loser!" , then that's making a conclusion.

With all due respect, it's not the same thing.Identifying behavior in another person is not judgementalism, rather it is discernment.Judging someone because of the behavior you have recognized is Judgementalism...And why is Judgementalism so wrong? I have seen my fair share of hypocrites, (mostly in religious circles) do some really crappy things and then hide behind the "Don't judge me!" trump card. Judge fairly when it is warranted, but don't be afraid to judge.

The first one requires judegment skill and the second one requires answering skill (to reach a conclusion).
