Mark 10:40

"For he who is not against us is for us."

Seems like Jesus is saying, "Don't be so quick to judge people as Christians or not." Be gracious. Take people's confessions at face value. It is not ours to judge.

The disciples were too quick to decide the intentions of people. We cannot know people's hearts, not really. There may be a time to correct people. But do not be too quick. The disciples just reacted. Jesus said, "If they are acting like they are part of us, even if you do not know them." They can be a part of another group.
