Tolerating and pampering sin, evil, errors, false doctrine, heresy, worldliness e.t.c in the church will make the church be a shadow of itself now and in the future. Now, in correcting and addressing these issues, it should be done properly and with wisdom.

How Christians can properly correct faults in churches.

(1) Sending Letters: Instead of publicly criticizing a church who made a mild mistake, you can send a letter to the authority of the church, stating with biblical references their faults and why they should change for good.

(2) Openly Addressing Strange Doctrine: If strange doctrine comes from a church, you are to openly correct it with the truth from the Word of God and with all humility. All forms of spiritual pride and undue criticism should not be there.

(3) Be Cautious With Calling Names: The issue of calling names or specifying the actual people or clergies that made errors or sinned should be done by the leading of the HolySpirit and not because we feel we are the ones who are to correct things in this generation.

(4) Preaching Undiluted Gospel: If we focus on the raw gospel of Jesus Christ, the church will be healed. Instead of focusing more on who is doing wrong or preaching nonsense, focus more on preaching openly and on social media the raw gospel of Jesus Christ: fruits of the Spirit, Holiness, Uprightness, Love, Giving, Sanctification, Justification, Restitution, Rapture, Second Coming of Jesus Christ e.t.c.

(5) Rebuking Sin: If a church is going astray in sin, especially an embarrassing sin done without shame, you are to rebuke them openly, warning them to repent; all by the leading of the HolySpirit. But if it is a sin that can be discussed with the church authority, do so by the leading of the HolySpirit.

Repent from all sins and all wrong criticisms you made. Simple say this "Lord Jesus, please forgive all my sins, come into my life, break the yoke of sin and write my name in the book of life in Jesus name. Amen"

Happy Sunday to you. Go to any good church today.

Correcting is good, but should be done rightly.

The problem is that most of these false doctrines are not preached out of genuine mistake & ignorance, but done deliberately to control the minds of followers for selfish & personal gains.

Matter of fact, most worship centres are set up by native doctors & Babalawos repackaged as Prophets & Men of God.

The fact that anybody can wake up & easily start a church has subjected true Christianity to a great deal of corruption so much so that some level of radicalism is needed to restore sanity & normalcy.

Like one sage said "It is easier to wake up a person who is actually sleeping than a person who is pretending to be sleeping"

Na wa ooO!

You gave a good advice, but I hope this is not your church constitution you copy pasted here. If I have my way all prosperity mega churches won't exist in Nigeria all their GOs are grandmasters of occult groups only fronting church! They are a bad influence on the youths. They have nothing to do with Christ and his church, if they have Christ maybe this your advice can work but Christ is OUTSIDE their heart. Revelation 3:15-17, 20-21.

💯 agree with what's written here.
we shouldn't be expecting those who willingly serve mammon to openly confess and repent without any form of rebuke.

cutecommand let's not pretend like they don't get letters and ignore them, but instead respond to those who they feel are attacking their image which they value more than the truth.

we should call brood of vipers brood of vipers, wolves wolves, hypocrites hypocrites. let's not sugarcoat those who consistently and unrepentantly lie with the word of God misleading people while they themselves do not enter them kingdom of God.

Peter, Paul, John, Jude that's four already rebuke false preachers, prophets, teachers, I feel even James did so as well, and like cutecommand wrote shameless sinners should be rebuked openly.

There is no sense in correcting a church it makes sense when a Christian corrects his fellow believer one on one but when a whole congregation is wrong the best thing to do is find another church!
