who Jesus can and can't save? And why do they try to tell you whose prayers Jesus can't hear? Are they trying to prevent others from receiving their blessing? Or are they just not true christians at all? Because i do believe in Jesus but i'm not where i should be. But there's always someone that think that they have the right to pass judgement on others faith. Why?

human nature is one of selfish ambition and ego. the new nature of Christ, in Him, with Him...renews us and if received will begin to be evident in the fruit of our walk....alas....not one is good....but the willingness to become good is key to our attitudes....if people are critical...let them be....for you...know who you are in Christ and let that be your confidence....†

First of all, let me make this clear to you. Jesus can save anyone who asks/wants to be saved. Salvation is for all people who want to believe in Christ, repent of their sins, and ask forgiveness.

Any "Christian" who tells you that God hears selective prayers does not know scriptures. God hears the prayers of anyone who seeks Him. And He answers the prayers of anyone who asks anything according to His will.

I don't think they are trying to prevent someone else from having a blessing, but I do believe that these kind of people are not versed in their scripture, nor do they have an understanding. I think many things said are done so in ignorance.

Passing "judgement" on anothers faith is open to interpretation. It depends on what you mean by that. If they are passing judgement on you because you have questions about Christ and the Bible, then yes, you are right, they have no right to judge, but should offer assistance to you if they are able to do so. But if a person is teaching something contrary to God's Word, such as the Qu'ran or other such material, then the Christian has a right to object to it, and to deny it has legitimacy. One doesn't need to be mean, necessarily, to do this, but rather speak the truth. Some people are going to be offended merely because you disagree with them, and that cannot be helped. The truth is the truth, one cannot deny it if it is fact.

If you are not where you should be with Jesus, then I beg of you to explore Jesus some more. Come to know Him as a person, and find out what His gift to all of us was. And I think you will eventually have a greater faith and love for Christ far better than you may have now.

Best wishes.

Christians are not perfect. Never have been. Never will be. Sometimes they find it hard to accept that Jesus will accept anyone who truly believes.
I've also found that people who don't understand what's going on in another person's life will tell them they need more faith or question their faith. Many times it's just because they have no idea what they should say so they say what they've heard before. I don't think it's always judgment when they do it. They just don't have any idea what else to say, or someone said it to them so they think it's what they are suppose to say to others. It doesn't make them less of a Christian, it just means they have not learned as much as they could from Jesus, yet.

When Jesus saved the whore, He told her to go and sin no more. When Jesus comes into your life, He will give you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will not only give you a desire not to sin anymore, then He will give you the power not to. Some sins are harder to overcome and take longer, but God also gives us the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin. Every time we do, we can ask God to forgive us and ask for His power. I had a sin once that lasted for years. I kept asking God to deliver me and I would keep finding myself doing it. After a while, God would sometimes keep me from doing it. I would praise God, but at the same time, I desired to keep doing it. Finally, God delivered me. I think God let me fall, just to let me know that I am weak without Him and it is only by God's grace that I am able to say no to sin.

As for the judgement by others in the Church, expect it. As believers, we are told not to judge nonbelievers, but we ought to judge others in the Church so that we can help them or to warn them gently. We are also warned not to even eat food with other believers who openly sin and have no remorse, because they are not really believers and that they will only hurt the members by their behavior.

If you are having problems with sin, seek the fullness of the Holy Ghost. I could not even begin to turn from my sins until I began to speak in tongues.
