When Do You Mark and Avoid
Have you ever "marked" certain individuals and "avoided" them like Rom 16 instructs? When did you do it, how did you do it, why did you do it? Is "marking" and "avoiding" the same as "excommunicating" like Paul suggests in I Cor. 5? Did you ever "mismark" someone and had to apologize or make it right later with the individual that you avoided?
