This verse made me think of another verse:
Luke9:50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.”
So the question is: Who is on Jesus' side, and who is against him?
- Whoever is not against him, is on his side (Lk9:50) (whereas in this case it still has to be said, what it means to be against him)
- Whoever is not with him, is against him (Lk11:23)
Everyone who is not with Jesus (who is not on his side), is against him! It is impossible for us to be between the world and Jesus.
Rev3:15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
Rev3:16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
So in Luke 9:50 "against me" = "in the world or inbetween, but not on my side"

Who is on Jesus' side?
Those who do the will of the Father
Who is against Him?
Those who do not do the will of the Father
In Matthew 7:21 Jesus said: "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord Lord' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
We are the people who calls Jesus "Lord Lord", this verse is a warning to the people in the church today, we may know the scriptures of truth very well, but whether we are able to put it into practice is a concern itself.
Often we lacked to see the bigger picture of doing His will is in actual fact more important than just being very well-versed with the Bible.
(Of course, knowing the scriptures is as important but this is something we could think about - for mutual exhortation :)))
