why are Bible-fundamentalists acting like they know where other people will go in the after-life?

Nope only God can do that. But you know fundies "THINK" they are God. They think they can judge others,change the bible, just do what ever they want because they have that once saved always saved salvation.

Humans in the flesh don't get to judge.
No judgement can take place until ALL the heavenly class is in heaven. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:4-6, 1 Cor. 6:2 The saints/heavenly class then with Jesus resurrect all the rest of the dead (2nd resurrection) systematically to earth to teach them.
Rev. 20:1-3, 7-9. It is their reaction to that 1,000 years of instruction and their behavior in the final test that decides whether they gain eternal life or eternal death. Romans 6:23, Rev. 20:13, 14

No, God did not give anyone authority to judge anyone or say who will go to heaven or hell, we are the only person who can decide that, and we do that be choosing to believe in Jesus as the savior of the world, live a life trying to, striving to, become more like him, admitting we are sinners, and asking Jesus to save us, there is no other way, works won't do it, paying big money to the church won't do it, nothing but believing that Jesus died FOR you and asking him to save you, forgive you, and be with you can do it.
Other religions were corrupted hundreds of years ago but people in high positions ranking all of these priest people higher, then more above them, until you have the Catholic, especially Roman catholic, church popes, bishops, priest, all saying who'll go to heaven and hell, they have no clue, and it is most likely they are going to hell. It was all about the greed for positions.

I can't decide where you or anyone else will go it is not my decision, but I can clearly know where you will be going based on what the Bible says. BTW, it is not a sin to say someone is going to hell based on what the Bible says, what is wrong is to judge a persons worth or to judge yourself better etc... We are all sinners, but only those who follow the commands of God will be going to Heaven according to the Bible. Simply believing in His Son and John 3:16 will not save a person. There is more to John 3 then verse 16...so most people spouting off to others they are going to hell will also be going to hell too. Satan and the demons believe Jesus is real, but they aren't going to heaven.Many people believe in God and Jesus, but do not do any of the things He commands those who want to follow Him.

Jesus is the only judge. Everyone who has not accepted Christ when they die will be judged according to the Law of Moses ( Ten Commandments). Born again Christians sins are covered by the Blood of Jesus, therfore invisible. We will not be judged. Just remember, one day EVERY knee will bow before Jesus and proclaim His name. Only the saved will go to Heaven. Only He knows who, or how many.

"Judging" brings with it the authority to condemn. Only Jesus will judge for eternal destinations.
However, Jesus' teachings clearly indicate that anyone can judge what a person is like by looking at the fruit of their lives.
Many Christians point the finger at others, when the first place to inspect fruit is in our own lives.
Condemning sinful behavior is a far cry from eternal condemnation.

Faith in Christ and the acceptance of the FREE gift of grace is the only way to be savingly united to God. . . it's the only way to obtain eternal life. There are countless different types of people within the Christian community who may or may not seem judgmental.

Apparently... I love how people 'know' everything about what God thinks... Apparently omniscient beings aren't allowed to make up there minds on their own, and must consult the fundies first...

You are taking this passage out of context.
God said we can know them by their fruits.What can you tell me about that passage?
This passage is also in the same book and chapter.
