Dear : If you are not in a position to teach, there may be no reason for you whatsoever, to make judgments regarding whether someone is a hypocrite and one to be avoided. I am not quite sure where you turn "calling a hypocrite, a hypocrite" into "NAME-CALLING?" When Jesus called people "hypocrites" many times, was He "NAME-CALLING?" Jesus called the religious leaders of God's Church at Jerusalem, "FOOLS, WHITED SEPLUCHRES, AND SNAKES." I have never called Paul Croach, Benn Hinn, or John Hagee those things (although I may have thought it). Many many times when I quote the Scriptures, people accuse me of teaching things that they don't quite approve of. I try to tell them that I did not WRITE the Scriptures I am quoting.
Now concerning your statement that "God commissioned Jesus to Judge." Not true.
Joh 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I JUDGE HIM NOT, FOR I CAME NOT TO JUDGE, but to save the world.
God be with you,
Ray
