[quote=1Christianwarrior316;860155]I agree with you.
The reference to the Buddhist is an excellent example of what is happening in most churches today, the righteous congregated with the unrighteous. The believers having fellowship with unbelievers. Scripture tells us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers….
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
But yet this is happening in many congregations. The following verses instruct the church what to do with brothers or sisters that continue to be disobedient to God’s Word and that is to put those wicked people from among us. Something the churches are failing to do today.
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat.
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
And yet many churches disregard the above verses allowing such members within it’s congregation.
If we allow those within the church, how can the church be presented holy and without blemish unto the Lord?
