• Expelling members of the Church has a biblical basis. Apostle Paul wrote the Christians, thus: "God alone sits in judgement on those who are outside. Drive out themat wicked one from among you [expel hin from your church]" (I Cor. 5:13, Amplifies Bible, emphasis ours). The Bible speaks only onebtrue Church of Christ (Col. 1:18; Rom. 12:4-5;Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation). God wants thr true Church to reach perfection (Eph. 5:27) which cannot be achieved if there is someone among the members who has a wicked or preverse heart, such as one who "stirs up dissension". (Prov. 16:28, New International Version) - A desite thatvis "earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demonical)" (James 3:15, AMP). Moreover, Apostle Paul admonished the early Christians to "watch out for those who cause divisions" and to "keep away from them" (Rom. 16:17, NIV). And even from old, God commanded: "You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean.." (Lev. 10:10, Ibid).

Hence, expulsion of such members from the true Church Of Christ is not only allowed, but even mandated by God.
