Hi everyone. This question is directed please to Minister's and Pastors. Perhaps Elders. (edit, I changed to include Elders as they too would perhaps have dealt with this)
If in your congregation you had a person who kept turning up drunk and clearly smelling strongly of alcohol, unsaved, but week after week turns up this way. Sometimes speaking out of place during the service, not profanely but interrupting with questions. Has been offered help but doesn't take it, habitually lies and acts like they are an actual member, how or what action would you take? Say this has been taking place week after week for months. The gospel is spoken to them but they don't accept it fully and have they're own interpretation of it.
Thanks in advance.
