when Jesus said, " do not judge lest you will be judged", why don't they follow what Jesus said?
I hear so many born-agains say that other people who died that were not "born-again" are now in hell, and that living people who are not "born-agains" are going to hell.
isn't that an example of judging? they are playing God.
has anyone ever noticed that particular teachings by "born-agains"?

It's a club. The exclusivity of the club is what motivates them to mortify themselves in ways that are contrary to human nature.

I believe most born again people just go by what is in the bible. We didn't make the rules you know. We just follow them. God makes the rules YOU and I make the CHOICE whether or not we want to go to hell. I don't think that is judging if you gently answer someone's question when they ask about hell. Now if someone blatantly comes out for no reason and says your going to hell - that is not right. It is not spoken in the right spirit. It does say in the bible that if you are not born again you will not see the kingdom of heaven. If you aren't going to heaven then you're going elsewhere. Your choice, my friend.

Saying that according to a system someone is somewhere is not "judging". It is called deductive reasoning, sir.
If according to your understanding people who go into building A come out a different person, and you knew that it really was true, then you would tell everyone else that those who go into building A will come out different.
That is not judging. YOU are the one judging Christians at this time, because it is your opinion. Judging involves opinions, and if a Christians says according to scripture that one is on their way to eternal separation from God, then they are not judging, they are expounding the system of consequences by the Bible. Not judging.
Amazing to hear judgemental, critical people say how judgemental and critical Christians are!

Don't worry about it .Hell is just the bibles name for the grave and all dead people go there Christian or not, even Jesus was in hell , Acts 2 :27 , 31&32.
It's not a place of torment Ecclasites 9:5.
People who try to scare you with hell don't understand the bible and should try to encourege you with the wonderful promise of life as taught by the bible.

1 Corinthians 6:3 - Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
The "judge not" passage is too often taken out of context by non-Christians who only ever open a Bible for the purpose of twisting what it says.

Why don't you open your Bible, find that verses, then read the whole surrounding book it was written in and you will understand just how badly you are ripping it out of its context. Who is talking? Who is he talking to? What were they judging? What kind of judgment was he referring to? What else does the Bible say about judging other?
Don't build a whole objection to Christianity based on your abuse of the Word of God.

they also say that all babies go to heaven, that there's an age of accountability, that all their sins are forgiven, even if they know they are going to commit the same sin again, that sins of thought no longer count, love the sinner hate the sin--none of which is in the bible. I'm not sure which god they worship, but it's not Yaweh, jehova or whatever you want to call biblegod

All Christians are to be 'born again."
John 3 3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
But you are right, no one can make that judgment but God.

they say what they feel is a fact not a mere self induced judgement
