Interpersonal Relationships in the Church (#3)

S. Waldron – ‘If you love your brother, you will not leave his fellowship without the greatest grief, reluctance and hesitation. If you are endeavoring diligently to maintain the unity of the Spirit, you will not in selfish petulance disturb the unity of the church. If you are humble, you will not be arrogantly positive that your perspective on your brother and the Scripture is without defect. You will carefully and slowly re-examine yourself, if the church refrains from exercising discipline. You will remember that even if you are right this time, you have been slow to see the right before. Therefore you will exercise forbearance and longsuffering.’ – Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith (p.328) * See; Attached PDF outline
