Systematized

A. The final judgment on the last day is the only physical punishment. This final judgment is based on one’s careless speech and actions.
B. Those who go to hell are those who claim to follow God, but are hypocrites, rejecters of God’s word, those who refuse to help disciples in need and those who cause others to fall away from God in deed or belief.
C. The church will only be pure after judgment, but those who commit blatant sins without repenting are to be treated as an outsider to the church.
D. Repentance/confession is the only requirement for forgiveness or acceptance in the church.
E. Those who sin and are separated are to be welcomed back and given another opportunity to repent.
F. Leaders of God’ people may not be hypocrites, persecutors, doers of evil, people who excuse other’s evil
G. The basis of condemnation is: hating, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness to one’s promise or marriage, slander, not giving to those in need, not forgiving those who repent, judging without repenting of one’s own sin, claiming God’s miracles are evil,
