Church discipline for a professed believer in a gay marriage: the local body should practice separation/excommunication; individual relationship may continue with pastoral intent.

Mike frames this not as targeting homosexuality specifically but as the broader category of "lifestyle sin" — habitual, open, unrepentant sin. The biblical pattern (1 Corinthians 5) calls for the local body to formally separate from such a person so they feel the weight of their departure from Christ and may return. This is excommunication in the New Testament sense. The goal is restoration. At the individual level, Mike distinguishes local body exclusion from cutting off family relationship — he would still reach out to the person as a family member. The person cannot participate in worship, membership, or ministry of the local church.
