Self-righteous judgment means one does not humbly think they are susceptible to the same failing they accuse others of having. I explained this in
post #34
Judging someone else's heart could be self-righteous. It could also simply be mistaken.

In the example you give I can see someone judging that someone else committed fornication, adultery, or sold their body for sex. But to then take the next step and say they are a "whore" to me is what is forbidden.

I agree and that's what I said.

But MOTA implies more than that, "Minister of the Age". Even if you feel that we still have the gift of apostles, how could you judge that one particular one is the "MOTA", it seems to me to be similar to when the Lord said "to sit on my right hand or my left is not mine to give". If the Lord would say that how much more us?

I agree with this, too. I just don't think that Matt 7 is the source for this view.
