Episode notes
Scripture Calls For Internal Accountability
- 1 Corinthians 5 requires calling out unrepentant behavior among people who claim to be Christians.
- Christians are responsible to judge and address sin inside the church, not outside it.
Use Matthew 18 Steps For Discipline
- Follow Matthew 18:15–17: go privately, then bring witnesses, then involve the church when someone refuses to repent.
- If they remain unrepentant yet claim Christ, apply 1 Corinthians 5 boundaries like not eating with them.
Faith, Not Uniformity, Defines Fellowship
- You can disagree on nonessentials but still fellowship if someone trusts in Christ and isn't living in unrepentant sin.
- The vital dividing line is ongoing, unrepentant behavior, not every doctrinal difference.
