The document discusses the limits of Christian fellowship. It outlines five groups that Christians should not have fellowship with: 1) Non-believers, 2) Prodigal sons who have abandoned their faith, 3) Those practicing unrepentant sin, 4) False teachers who preach contrary to Christian doctrine, 5) Those who cause divisions in the church. The document provides numerous Bible verses to support setting these limits in order to remain loyal to Jesus and avoid compromising Christian values.

The Limits of Fellowship

fellowship, so that we might go
to the Gentiles and they to
the circumcised.

Light as He Himself is in the Light,
we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus His
Son cleanses us from all sin.

[12] For even as the body is one
and yet has many members, and all
the members of the body, though
they are many, are one body, so also
is Christ. [13] For by one Spirit we
were all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free, and we were all
made to drink of one Spirit.
13. Ephesians 4:3-6
[3] being diligent to preserve the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace. [4] There is one body and

called in one hope of your calling;
[5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
[6] one God and Father of all who is
over all and through all and in all.

deliver such a one to Satan for the
destruction of his flesh, so that his
spirit may be saved in the day
of the Lord Jesus.
19. 1 Corinthians 5:6-7
[6] Your boasting is not good.
Do you not know that a little
leaven leavens the whole
lump of dough? [7] Clean out the
old leaven so that you may be a
new lump, just as you are in fact
unleavened. For Christ our
Passover also has been sacrificed.
20. 1 Corinthians 5:11
[11] But actually, I wrote to you
not to associate with any

received, he is to be accursed!

coming in the flesh. This is the
deceiver and the antichrist.

who abides in the teaching, he has
both the Father and the Son.

[10] If anyone comes to you and
does not bring this teaching, do not
receive him into your house, and do
not give him a greeting; [11] for the
one who gives him a greeting
participates in his evil deeds.
28. Romans 16:17-18
[17] Now I urge you, brethren, keep
your eye on those who cause
dissensions and hindrances contrary
to the teaching which you learned, and

men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ
but of their own appetites; and by their
smooth and flattering speech they
deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

[11] knowing that such a man is
perverted and is sinning,
being self-condemned.
