cd: JD This is a strong contrast from the modern Church who invites all to
come and fellowship even sodomites. This is why I perceive that the house
we are to invite the practicing sinner too is Salvation in Christ Jesus so
that it will be filled and not to our place of fellowship until repentance
is giving with the power of testimony-saying that- the only way to make
this invitation is to" go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to
every living creature".Note that the fornicator spoken of in the Cor.
Church later repented and was allow back into fellowship with uncommon love.
