  • In order to maintain peace, purity, and unity in the church, it is necessary to exercise discipline, sometimes even to the point of excommunication. Many Christians and church leaders view such discipline negatively, but when properly understood, church discipline is a great blessing. In this lecture, Dr. Steven Lawson looks at what the Bible tells us about church discipline, explaining how and why it is to be used.

      @@jtfairchild3838 sure, I’ve read that very passage. But it doesn’t explicitly say the rapture doctrine as defined by modern Protestants. You gotta read that into it. And so have many other Christian’s for 2,000 years have understood it differently. But only a few, very recently have gotten the Rapture from it.
