what? marking them that cause division among you? that is a biblical teaching. nothing strange about it
I went to a church once were there was a man that was causing trouble and the pastor had talked with him one on one. Next it was with witnesses. Then with witnesses again. Then he called an adult meeting and and called him out in front of the congregation and told him exactly how it was. The man still came to church for a short time but no one would talk with him. He had lied and caused trouble and tried to get several different women to have an affair with him. He was causing division and once the ministry had dealt with it and talked with him one several occasion and he still kept it up they dealt with it by calling him out and telling everyone that what he was doing. He had adult children and a wife in that church. It may have been what saved those kids. Eventually he left the church and his wife. He is as messed up now as he was then but no longer in that church or group causing trouble because everyone who knows him knows what happened and will have nothing to do with him. I for one am glad he was 'marked' probably saved a few souls that night.
