Yes.. obviously he ( just that one particular man was dealt with in this manner ) wasn't getting the truth and he had to be dealt with.
I also noticed that Paul told all the other people in Corinth that were having sex with the temple prostitutes and there was divisions, jealousy, and strife, amongst themselves..taking each other to court...getting drunk at communion..eating all the food at their love-feasts ( gatherings for communion ) so that there was no food left over for the poor people..
to all these "rascals"..Paul said this..
1 Cor 1:3 - you have been sanctified in Christ
verse 5 - that in everything you were enriched in Him
verse 8 - Jesus will confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ
1 Corinthians 1:30-31 (NASB)
[SUP]30 [/SUP] But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
[SUP]31 [/SUP] so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
1 cor 2;16 - you have the mind of Christ
1 cor 3:23 - that you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God
1 Corinthians 6:11 (NASB)
[SUP]11 [/SUP] Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Then there is this that we do in order to make our faith "effective"
Philemon 1:6 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Again as I said..Paul was talking about church discipline for that ONE particular guy...and has nothing to do with "confessing IN ORDER to get forgiveness of sins"
Church discipline is a different subject...but a necessary one too. But that is for elders in the body of Christ to do under the total guidance of the Holy Spirit....hand people over to satan for the destruction of his flesh ..but he himself is still saved in his spirit.

You noticed Paul didn't tell the Corinthians merely to remind this brother who he was in Christ! But to hand him over to satan.
