教會規範
2018/06/14
-5- A biblical church maintains corporate holiness through church discipline.
教會有人犯罪要規範以維持聖潔。
※Matthew 18:17 says, “If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”
15「倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去，趁著只有他和你在一處的時候，指出他的錯來。他若聽你，你便得了你的弟兄；16他若不聽，你就另外帶一兩個人同去，要憑兩三個人的口作見證，句句都可定準。
17若是不聽他們，就告訴教會；若是不聽教會，就看他像外邦人和稅吏一樣。
The church really is a place of spiritual protection. Jesus expects his followers to help one another pursue holiness.
耶穌基督希望祂的教會肢體互相扶持，走在聖潔道路上；教會要互相屬靈遮蓋。
If a Christian begins to engage in serious sin, Jesus expects the members of his Christian community to lovingly rebuke him. If the person refuses to repent of his sin, the entire church is expected to get involved.
若有基督肢體深陷罪惡中，肢體就要在基督裡用愛心相勸；若無效，整個教會就要介入處理。
This process presupposes that a Christian will be vitally connected to other Christians. The reality is, the process of discipline can’t happen apart from a local church.
這過程的要點是眾肢體在主裡合一，規律的實務要在教會裡施行。
If you’re not maintaining holiness through church discipline, don’t call yourself a church.
教會要同心互相扶持，持守聖潔。
