WAR:

if they do, then fine. If they don’t, and they’re a member of the congregation, then, depending on how serious the doctrine, we consider withholding the Lord’s Supper from them and if they spread a false doctrine, then we would probably ask them to stop and repent. If they didn’t, then we would remove them from the church.

Once again you allow sola scripture so why punish anybody for interpreting the bible? Aren’t you all allowed to come to different conclusions on what ya’ll read?

War:

We don’t punish anybody for interpreting the Bible. Do you still beat your children?

SO removing them from Church, withholding the Lord’s Supper is not punishment?

And what does beating kids have to do with anything? By the way I dont beat my kids, do you?

No, not according to the Bible. According to the Bible, it’s discipline so that they’ll repent and protecting weaker brothers and sisters in Christ are confused or caused to stumble by false doctrine.

And what does beating kids have to do with anything?

It’s to illustrate the old rhetorical ploy that you’re using in which a strawman is set up, so that no matter which way I answer, you believe that you’re able to mount an argument against it, as though I’ve said something wrong.

Says who? On whose authority?

God’s authority, as expressed through His word.

So what is on this list of Doctirines that they have to sign off on (can you list them for me please)?

Why? You asked me to list the essential doctrines of Christianity, as spelled out in scripture and I did. I made a good faith effort to take the time to list them and include dozens of verses and passages to explain what they are and why they’re considered essential.

You ignored that, so why should I waste my time answering another question you’ll ignore?

Also even if they sign off on this list they can still be denied membership if Jane Doe has an objection?

Depends what the objection is and if it has any merit.

By the way I dont beat my kids, do you?

That’s good. I’m glad that you’ve stopped beating your children.

What a shame your banned…
Dont beat your kids to hard now…how do we know you beat your kids…well it is in the Bible and that is all that you need, right?
