"Christian fellowship in the local church cannot be legislated by a constitution, although constitutions are useful; true fellowship must come from within, from the hearts of the believers. If a believer is out fellowship with another believer, it is because one or both of them have gotten out of fellowship with God." Wiersbe, W. W. (1992). Wiersbe's expository outlines on the New Testament (pp. 582-583). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.
