11 - 5 Keys to a Biblical Response to Apostasy: The Scriptural Steps

The fifth key to a Biblically loving response to apostasy is to understand and follow the Biblical process, and the associated commands and examples that we find in the Word.

What is the God-ordained process for dealing with false teaching in the church? How is that process being used -- and too often, abused -- in churches today? What are the possible outcomes of the process, and how should believers respond in each case?

Should public false teaching be addressed in a different way from private offenses?

What can God's people do to ensure that unrepentant false teachers are dealt with decisively and without delay, as prescribed in Titus 3:10?

These questions form our focus this week as we continue our series, Christ Above All: Studies in Colossians.
