Bible Question (short): Church discipline? |
Question (full): Although we may not "lay on hands too hastily" do we participate in the sins of others when we do not confront the sin? This passage is about elders and rebuking them - but does this excuse us from confronting sin in church? I'm wondering about church discipline here. |
