Their theology says that only God can judge, not Christians, so, they are judged by him, according to their belief.

God alone can judge, that is not only Christian but also Jewish. Therefore we Christians believe with our whole mind, heart and soul that Jesus Christ will come to judge the living and the dead, so why waste our time doing it.
God bless you and I wouldn't worry about judgement by my peers or friends, I would worry about being ready to be judged on that day.

Because God alone IS the judge, which is precisely why human beings are not supposed to play God and judge others.

christ was a jew...jews can judge ALL THEY WANT!!!! lol....
Judging was left to the son of God by God...and only He is the one that shall judge man....
But it's judge not lest you be judged...so it's like if someone says something about you, they're free game then.

If that is the case why do some Christians judge everyone else who don't fit their standards

Ka-ching! Good point!
Matthew 7:1, "Judge not that ye be not judged."
Totally misunderstood and taken out-of-context!
In context, this It can't mean that we must give up all spiritual discernment in order to be "loving Christians." Five verses later Jesus says, "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6). This command assumes the exercise of spiritual discernment. A few verses later Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets...You will know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:15,16,20). Again Jesus demands spiritual discernment. In Jesus' view it is not "judging" to conclude that someone is a false prophet.
Is it, perhaps, our duty to keep such discerning conclusions to ourselves in order to avoid "judging"? Emphatically not! Matthew 7:1 does not teach that it is sinful to confront and, if necessary, publicly expose evil. If this were so, how could Jesus say, "And if you brother sins, go and reprove him...?" How could Jesus go on to say, "And if he refuses to listen...tell it to the church"? (Matthew 18:15,17). How could Jesus' apostle, Paul, say, "Do you not judge those who are within the church?...Remove the wicked man from among yourselves" (1 Corinthians 5:12,13).
Thanks for pointing this out!!
