The last thing we want to do in the church is to give someone false confidence that they are in the Kingdom when they are not.
We should NOT say your a part of the Church even though there is no evidence that there is God’s grave and salvation in you. The most loving thing we can do is cast them out of the Church so they can see their Sin and they can see they are outside the Kingdom.
If you do not believe in casting out the sinners in your church or letting not letting not converted believers in to your church membership the read this .
(The Church must discipline flagrant sin among its members such sins left unchecked, can polarize and paralyze a Church. The Correction, however should never be vengeful. Instead it should be given to help bring about a cure. There was a specific sin in the church but the Corinthian believers had refused to deal with it. in this case a man was having an affair with his mother, and the church member were trying to ignore the situation. Paul was telling the church that it had a responsibility to maintain the standards of morality found in God’s commandments. God tells us not to judge others . But he also tells us not to tolerate flagrant sin because leaving that sin undisciplined will have a dangerous influence on other believers. 5:5 To “deliver such a one to Satan” Means to exclude him from the fellowship of believers. Without the spiritual support of Christians, This man would be left alone with his sin and Satan. and perhaps this emptiness would drive him to repentance. It should not be done out of vengeance but out of love just as parents punish children to correct and restore them. The church’s role should be to help not hurt offenders motivating them to repent of their sins and to return to the fellowship of the church. 5:6 Paul was writting to those who wanted to ignore this church problem. They didn’t realize that allowing public sin to exist in the church affects all its members.) …. quote from the “Life Application Study Bible – NASB”
1 Corinthians 5
Dealing With a Case of Incest
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[d]
