8 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
NASB
And this,
Rom 10:14-15
14 How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!"
NASB
And you, too, because you have summarily rejected the glad tidings of good things (the Gospel), you also will die in your sins unless you repent and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation and the righteousness of God.

There is nothing wrong with speaking on God's behalf. But
pay attention. They do not condemn people to Hell like you do.
You make yourself the lowest form of existence when you do that. You disrespect God, your fellow man,your religion and yourself. In other words you condemn yourself.
Your behavior is blasphemous to your own religion. You just disobeyed these 3 rules.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and not the log in your own.
Let he that is without sin cast the first stone
