Gerry,
The "discipline part" has everything to do with communion. I say this not to be flippant, but to take the point to its logical conclusion. After all, where does discipline end if repentance is not shown? Excommunication! In other words, being barred from the table. No membership, no discipline. No discipline, no proper communion.
