Someone posted, I dont know what to do, if some members in our church engaging fornication. I told her, I guess the main question you should ask yourself what is the pastor doing about it? The pastor is the one supposed to be watching for the souls of the people, because he has to give an account to God for them! Hebrews 13:17 She said of course its our pastor, but my anticipation in our ministry will be, somewhat ....ruined .... I dont know ...as if I m still ... like in the Roman Catholic Church , mingled and sorrounded by fornicators ...... I dont know. Sister you have an obligation to report it to the appropriate leadership in the body, even if it’s the pastor! Paul said, “It is REPORTED commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the gentiles.... 1 Cor 5:1 (KJV) For it hath been DECLARED UNTO ME OF YOU, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1 Cor 1:11 (KJV) They won’t like it and many won’t like you like, but when it comes down to sin, death, and hell, we must make up our mind we will do whats RIGHT, regardless of our position IN THE EYES OF MEN, PLEASING GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT! We must be like the house of Chloe! We have a mandate from God not to company with fornicators! I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world……..But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator.......with such an one no not to eat. 1 Cor 5:11 (KJV) ...neither be partaker of other mens sins: keep thyself pure. 1 Tim 5:22 (KJV) This message is for churchgoers and their leaders. 1 Cor. 6: 18-20, Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thess. 4: 3-8. Give them space to repent, but if they refuse we cannot condone their sins. They have to be excommunicated and HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP shed off their position in church. God Word clearly commands us to reprove or expose them! Eph. 5:11
