It is not wrong but right to call false doctrine what it is or false teachers what they are. Paul would certainly not be welcome in most Churches today.
We have become so used to false doctrine we are quite comfortable with it really.
So Im not merely addressing warring sects of Apostolics but rather from a Biblical view its all right to openly rebuke error. |
Well since everybody is firmly convinced that they are right all I see coming from this is a bunch of people openly rebuking one another... which gives the non Christians and the God haters something to latch on to... Just not sure all the 'open rebuking' is helpful to the kingdom MTD.
