[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4803636, member: 24302"] And you have it wrong unfortunately. We are told to spread the news that God sent his son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for all mankind. If we believe and turn away from our sins we'll be saved. The Apostle Paul makes it clear that once saved we must not continue doing sinful things. Salvation is within the Church, not without. And those within who continue to do such things we are to shun. We aren't supposed to hate others for their sins, and everyone falls short. But for example it's known that a fellow church member is sleeping with someone other than his wife the Church elders have a responsibility to both the Church and him to tell him he can't continue to be a part of the congregation if he continues that affair. That he must stop or leave. There's no "well we can't be judgemental" consideration. That applies to anyone who continues in a sin. [/QUOTE]
