At What Point are we Allowed to Not Love but to Judge

Jesus told his disciples they were to love each other. Considering the individual continued to follow Jesus, at what point could he have done something that would permit the others to stop loving him?

 

When Jesus had John write to those seven churches, he did not instruct or even encourage the "obedient" to leave the "disobedient?"

 

Jesus told the people they should not judge others. In his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote: "Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand." James wrote: "There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?"

 

At what point are we allowed to condemn others to Hell and therefore refuse to associate with them?
