You must ask the brothers you are accusing (ARP and SE), if they truly believe SP is reprobate. Even Martin Luther at his trial in Worms, Germany was given a chance to recant his writings against the Catholic Church.

Again, they will never come right out and actually say it. It's the clever use of phrases and double entendre's you have to sort through to find the meaning.

So posting the hope that the good members leave the church; that SP is condemned unless he repents; that he's going a different direction; praying that he makes a reversal....what do you think that means?
Seriously? Do you think those kind of statements are kind and supportive of a fellow minister? Or would you agree these kind of statements (especially the bit about being condemned unless he repents) is typically reserved for sinners and reprobates (ie people destined for damnation)?
