There are none I can think of.
And how about the authority of the Lord's apostle?
1st Corinthians 5:1-5
"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."
Paul judged the man who had his father's wife, was that his own mother? The man was given over to satan, (excommunicated?) For the destruction (death?) of his flesh, now that is a judgment as well, I can't imagine being handed over to satan! Lord have mercy on me! Maybe something like what happened to Job.
Paul also handed Hymaneus and Alexander over to satan
1st Timothy 1:20
"of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander,
whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme."
Paul wasn't playing was he? I wonder how many Christians would want Paul to oversee their congregation today!!
