Excommunication is expulsion from the church. Pastor Walt tells us the story of a church who believes that they do not perform same-sex marriages. This church allowed some actively gay people who were in same-sex marriages to join the church. There were women who met in the church and a staff member performed the marriage ceremony. Although the pastor didn’t perform the marriage ceremony, he condoned the lifestyle … and was excommunicated. Pastor Walt explains that the church has rules and regulations and our lives are built upon these. But, the church has evolved to having no rules and regulations and people impose their views and perspective on the church. Sinners are welcome so they may hear the Gospel message, but a Born-Again Christian’s life changes into living their life for God.
