So you see a similarity between screaming in a bullhorn the "judgments of the Lord" and the process
of discipline described in Matt 18:15-17?   You can do better than this, Kevin. 
 
I have never seen this advice put into use.   Matt 18 ultimately is about an entire congregation of firends
who struggle with a brother to bring him back into the mix.    What God's judgment is regarding this
individual  is not in view.   How we deal with a sin of such nature that all --  without exception --  see the danger to the one infected is the tale of the tape.

MT 18:17
MT 7:6

It is harshness in judgment that is precluded -  not hypocrisy.  For the sake of the
illustration, Jesus assumes that all who were listening to Him on that day were in need of
the lesson(s) He taught.  There is at least a hint of hypocrisy in all of us.  We (all) are falling short of the Glory.  
 
Where in scripture are we given the charge to pass judgment  regarding eternal destiny on
someone else?

Context, please.  Matthew 7 is addressed to whom?  Hypocrites.  See Mat.
7:5.  Once we get  the beam out of our own eye, then we will see clearly to
cast out the mote out of our brother's eye. Hypocrites should not judge, but
he that is spiritual judges everything.
 
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
