I should have added that Mt. 18 is difficult to follow in cyberspace. This whole thing is already in front of “the whole congregation”, and what happens if he refuses to listen? Who will “throw him out”? The wolves are guarding the sheep so to speak, and they would sooner throw us out.

This same refusal to listen and hostility toward dissenters is seen in people like Rick Warren, Pat Robertson, and many others. Apostate leaders in “churchianity” will be the true believers’ worst enemy during the coming Tribulation, as they were from about the 5th century through the Reformation.
