"Baptist"

I think that you misunderstood my point, as the end result of church discpline should be into getting the pwerson to repent/confess/ have restoration back to God and be in good standing among the bethren once again.
I was just suggesting that the problem may at times be that the person acting sinfully may not ven been saved yet.

 

Jesus and paul commanded us as the church when assembled together to exercise dusciplinr in our ranks, to cast out those who hav e false theology/teachings, and also to pressure thiose who claim to be a Christian and yet are opennly living in unrependent sin...

 

Stupid to respect God?

 

no, it's a silly notion to think wearing a suit and tie is to show respect to God.

 

Apostle paul disagrees with you on not having church discipline exercised when required, as he roasted the Corinth church for NOT doing that in 1 Corinthians 5:1!

 

Then you got your work cut out for you.... I would even go so far as to say your overwhelmed.

 

I agree and believe there has been a continuous Christain fellowship since the beginning of the church. I don't believe there is a need to identify it day by day all the way back.

 

They insist that the Holy Spirit was in the process to translate into English the scriptures in the exact hashion he was with the Apsotles getting the originals down to print!

 

So when are not under obligation to obey Jesus and pauland exercise church discipline when requitred to be done?

 

I am speaking about the ordinance of baptism, not personal convictions. Baptism is the first step of obedience for a believer. Paedobaptists believe that also when it comes to a convert. In fact, paedobaptists consider it a grievous sin worthy of church discipline if a parent refuses to have their infant child baptized, that is how serious they consider the issue. I am a Baptist, so I reject paedobaptism, but the command to be baptized is just that, a command. Refusal to be baptized is sinful.

 

I cant understand you

 

Its not an option for Presbyterians....they were baptized as infants. But nobody disciplines me....nobody but God.

 

Both jesus and Paul stated that a church must use church discipline when needed in order to bring correction into the assembly. Failure todo such would allow the sin issue to fester and grow much worse!

 

............being a KJV user myself I find many in the IFB, KJV............ranks take it a little too far as they begin to worship the KJV itself?

Even though I use a KJV.........give me a NWT, Catholic Bible, etc. and I can still lead someone to Christ with it

Mormons use the KJV and they are lost as a goose

 

That is true I use it too but I let the Lord do the leading, don't you?... Brother Glen

 

I have read where some see the Word John talked about as being the Kjv prophesied about by God!

 

OK & so???. Lets see....they argue about the color of the carpet, the songs sung, the music, the times for service, the lighting the paint color, the temp of the AC.....blah blah blah. When does this discipline thing kick in?
