So, leaders are bound by works, just not the rest of us? Also, you didn't answer the one about the judgment. Your thought, please.

NO, no no! It is not works that determine whether someone is worthy of judgment or not. It is faith. You see, if you have faith in Christ then the Bible tells us we are seen by God to be cleansed by Christ's blood through the atonement of our sins.

It is the lack of belief is these men that condemns them. Let me break out that scripture a little more so that you might clearly understand it (and remember, you must read that scripture in relation to the chapter it appears in, both the preceding and following scriptures.)

16 They profess to know God [to recognize, perceive, and be acquainted with Him], but deny and disown and renounce Him by what they do; they are detestable and loathsome, unbelieving and disobedient and disloyal and rebellious, and [they are] unfit and worthless for good work (deed or enterprise) of any kind, because of their unbelief.
