The attached "pdf" document is an excellent study on the doctrine of church discipline from brother Brett Hogland. I heartily recommend it for all to study. May God's law that "excludes" fellowship weigh on our minds as equally heavy as His law for the inclusion of fellowship.

"A church which refuses to accept these divine directives, or through neglect, fails to practice what is required, is rebelling against the revealed will of God."
