1 Corinthians 5:11 — not associating with a so-called 'brother' guilty of ongoing sin — targets life-pattern behavioral sins, not theological disagreement; the context is likely the communion/love-feast meal.
Q: How should 1 Corinthians 5:11 affect relationships with liberal Christian friends with unbiblical beliefs and practices?
Mike distinguishes the listed sins (sexual immorality, greed, idolatry, reviling, drunkenness, swindling — all behavioral lifestyle patterns) from doctrinal error. The passage addresses the corporate church body, not individual personal friendship. Church discipline removing someone from fellowship is almost never practiced but Mike affirms it as biblical.
