Ex-communication Romans 16:17,18

Well hello everyone!!! WOW!!! How good is GOD??? God take is all!! Takes it all off of us!!! He is super---awesome---magnificant!!!! Okay, here is a question for you...heard this yesterday. How would you view or feel about someone who applied for a job as poastor or your church if he: 1) preaches the word extremely well; 2) has been in jail; 3) was involved in murder; 4) caused riots in streets; 5)has been run out of towns; 6) fought against good or right; and 7) did however, repent and converted to be a preacher of the gospel. Would you want someone like this on your staff? Answer, please, a quick yes or no is sufficient, commentary is welcome. We'll talk about this tomorrow. Okay, then another question...... should we ever band or disfellowship someone in our congregation? Let's talk about this for the next 3 days (today, Friday, and Sat.) First, let's look at doctrinal defection. What is doctrinal defection? Just what it says. If we defect we turn away. Doctrinal we are talking about the doctrin or the gospel. Now, what do you mean turn away? No one would do that!!! You'r crazy!!! Everyone teaches the gospel!! Oh, OH>>>>.what about the "feel good pastors" who only preach so you'll feel good, keep giving, and support his ministry (the feel good ministry) and the church? Look at Roman's 16:17-18. Paul is talking to the Corinth church, who obviously is having problems. vs 17 "AND NOW I MAKE ONE MORE APPEAL, MYDEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WATCHOUT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAUSE DIVISION AND UPSET PEOPLE'S FAITH BY TEACHING THINGS CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. (18) SUCH PEOPLE ARE NOT SERVING CHRIST OUR LORD; THEY ARE SERVING THEIR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS. BY SMOOTH TALK AND GLOWING WORDS, THEY DECEIVE INNOCENT PEOPLE." Christians who study God's word, asking him to reveal the truth will not be fooled. We should check the content of what we read or hear so we swon't be fooled. Check out Acts 17:10-12. Okay, now jump over to 1 Tim 6:3,4; here Paul tells Timothy to stay away from those who just wanted to make money from preachings and those who strayed from the sound teachings of the good news into quarrels that caused strife in the church.vs 5 says to stay away from people who just want to argue. Okay, go to Titus 1:10-16 and read this. 1 Titus 10:15 "EVERYTHING IS PURE TO THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE PURE...." Where are you??? Are you tolerant of feel good messages???? If so, WHY?????? Reread these scriptures, we are not to allow or entertain any conversation or teaching which is not scripture based. What is your "Christian life" based on???? The BIBLE.....Amen!!! or The feel good words.......OH ME!!! Let's Amen.....NOT oh me....!!! Love you all. Thanks for reading. Let God, His word be your pilot. Tomorrow, step two about excommunication or disfellowship.
In Christ's Love and Grace
