I'm not sure who you think it judging you or in general but Christ Jesus never commanded us to judge souls as that's Spiritually impossible. The only one who can do so is God (eternal judgement). Then, there's judgement for disdain or dislike...Christ stated to those who judged this way to pull the mote from their own eye first before judging brethren.
Then...what should Christians be judgmental in if anything? Discernment. The born again have the Holy Spirit to help us discern what's right and wrong. If you see a Christian swearing, rebuke them and explain to them why that's wrong with the Bible. Rebuke is a form of discerning judgement. If there's apostasy in a ministry...that needs to be judged and discerned. God will judge above everything but He expects us to be vocal about it as was the apostle Paul in the below verses:
Ephesians 4:14-16
"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
