 In guarding the truth, we do have to recognize at the end of verse 11, he says, if anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house and welcome them. Anyone who welcomes shares in their wicked work. I'll give an example I think that would make sense here. If we view this, if John's intention was for the church, that would mean that we don't receive anybody into membership that would not commit to our statement of faith.
