What is Jesus specifically referring to here?

I tend to agree with this interpretation, from Pastor Chuck Smith's Commentary on Matthew 7, which I have linked to:
Jesus is saying basically that we are not to condemn but we are to discriminate. Condemnation is something that God has reserved for himself. God is the final judge. It's not up to me to say that a brother is condemned or that a brother is damned. That's something that is in God's hands. God reserves final judgment for Himself but it is something that I'm not to enter into.
