: Hey
: If this person is in sin then approach that brother private (and it depends on the subject) and have good judgement of about it bring it to the elders of the church and try to sort this thing out before you go public because going public will really escalate this into a level of choosing sides. People are prone to chose sides and start to divide the Body. (Exclamatory: this is from own experiance of what happened to a church I belonged once before)
: Ryan
Good advice, Ryan, especially about going to the elders of the church. If any of you encounter a brother or sister going public with something like this, you have my permission to rebuke them and send them to me!! This loose-cannon prophet attitude subverts the authority of the church leaders, and most importantly, causes division in the church and damages people. You are going to see my formidable side pretty quickly if you do this kind of thing.
