Expel

  Expel 

The apostle Paul writes,

“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?  God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1Corinthians 5:12,13.

While we as believers in Christ Jesus have no right to judge those outside of the church, especially when it come to where a person will spend eternity. We do have an obligation to judge those who claim to be believers in Christ Jesus. 

We need to be able to do this in order to see that they are teaching sound doctrine. Where they will spend eternity it still up to Gods judgement.

That being said it is imperative that we question the beliefs of those pastors, and evangelist we follow. We do this in order to see that what they are saying is truly what the Bible is saying.

Sadly however here in North America with all our freedoms we do a poor job of correcting errant pastors, evangelist and teachers. Even if we do expel them, because of our freedoms, our freedom of speech laws they simply set themself up and carry on as an independent ministry.

Thus my question to you; If you consider yourself a Christian a believer in Christ Jesus, do you ever question the evangelist, pastors or teachers you follow?

Please think about it.
