But let me be clear: If God’s Word is inspired and authoritative, and if greed, reviling, drunkenness, and sexual immorality (including same-sex relations) are sin, and if someone is engaging in these behaviors and doesn’t have desire to repent, and if your church agrees with all of these things (it’s not just one person’s opinion but is shared by the leaders of the church), then yes, in the context of love and tears and truth: the perpetually unrepentant greedy, revilers, drunks, and sexually immoral who claim to be a Jesus-follower should be “put out of your fellowship” (1 Cor. 5:2).
