Purpose of Church discipline
Church discipline has three purposes:
- To save the soul of the transgressor
- To protect the innocent (e.g., someone engaged in serious sin should not be able to portray themselves as members in good standing to other members, who might thereby become victims of further crimes)
- To protect the good name of the Church.
