What is assembly discipline?
The aim of assembly discipline is to help restore a person who has acted in a way that is not consistent with the Christian doctrine. The type of discipline to be used depends on the case. There are seven different types: • overtaken in a fault: Gal. 6:1.2 • Warning and withdrawing from those walking disorderly: 1 Thess. 5:14; 2 Thess. 3:14.15 • Public rebuke: 1 Tim 5:20; Gal. 2:11-14 • Dealing with a heretic and marking division makers: Titus 3:10.11; Romans 16:17 • Discipline of silence: 1 Tim.1:3.4; Titus 1:10.11 • Personal Trespass: Mt. 18:15ff • Putting away wicked persons: 1 Cor.
