Bible Question (short): church discipline |
Question (full): In reference to Mat. 18, Does the church have the right to bring a person before the church body and tell their sins if the person has asked to be removed from the membership of the church. Should it be up to God to judge and discipline the person. Also, if bring the person's name in front of the congregation will damage the persons reputation to the point the person can not face these people is this not wrong. |
