Protestants think they are the judges of who is "saved" and who will "go to heaven."

That is not true.

I don't know any Protestants who think they are judges of individuals. The bible does teach that we are all to judge teachings and doctrines, comparing them to what the bible says. No person can see another persons heart. Only God can do that.

If a teaching or doctrine does not line up with scripture we are to reject it as false, according to the bible. In discussions such as on this forum, where people express their beliefs freely, these beliefs should be what is being judged, not individual hearts.

Actually, ftD rather pointedly judged the condition of my soul and repeated himself over a number of posts on another thread.

That sentiment was apparently shared by an elect group of high fivers.
