Bible Question:
Is there ever a time when a member can be removed from a church? I heard a minister say that members will be cursed for talking or gossipping about the ministry, him and his wife. He spoke of removing folks and said he had scripture to back him up. What scripture relates to this if any? Thanks |
Bible Answer: This is a sad day, isn’t it? Only God can give life, but some men feel they can take it. Only God can join two people together and make them one, but men put them asunder. Only God can put fruit in the womb, but men feel free to rip it out. Only God can add people to the church, but some feel they can remove them. Scriptures related to this are: 1Co 12:12,13 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Those who want to practice excommunication or expulsion would use: 1Co 5:11,12 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. They would not use: 2Co 2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. |
