actually if you study it the dividing line is not so big. Most Christians agree on the basics as to what is sin and what is not.
But the point is not so much about judging anyone, Paul brought up the person who married his mother, for one big reason. It's effect it was having on the church. That people were gloating over how loving they were and tolerate. Paul blasted that attitude, because it was a false teaching. We don't have to worry about judging indiviuals, but if that indiviual stands up and preaches their sins as true liberty or holds their sins up high for all to follow, I feel this is what is crossing line.
As far as being a Christian at all, as far as I know, it's the only name under heaven whereby we must be saved. I will never forget when I became close to moselms and hindus and buddhist in Asia, how scared they were, how their religion offered them no way to heaven, and no way to be reunited without perfection. I think it's the best because of the peace it can bring people like this.
