who is flamboyant or openly promoting a sinful lifestyle.

For example? (Maybe something not as extreme as my example  )

Do you have friends who are sinners to the core?
As a pastor would you invite a prostitute over for dinner?
Would you invite a gay co-worker? (Such as my immediate supervisor)
Would you GO to either of their homes?
How about spending an evening with a man who did you great harm in the past?
....Or left your denomination?
I am really curious.

Yes to all the above, with one exception. I don't think I would invite your immediate supervisor. He probably lives too far away. No wait, don't wanna hurt any feelings. Tell him he's invited.

Re: Who will you fellowship with?
I think the problem is the word "fellowship". Befriending sinners is not the same as fellowship
(I) Participation, communion, fellowship ( Act_2:42; 1Co_1:9; 1Co_10:16; 2Co_6:14; 2Co_8:4; 2Co_13:14; Gal_2:9, "right hands of fellowship," the pledge of communion; Eph_3:9 [TR]; Phi_1:5, "your fellowship in the gospel," accession to it; Phi_2:1; Phi_3:10; Phm_1:6; 1Jo_1:3, 1Jo_1:6-7).
(II) Communication, distribution, a metonym for contribution, collection of money in behalf of poorer churches ( Rom_15:26; 2Co_9:13; Heb_13:16).

Why post for myself when I can just say Ditto to this one. That's about it in a nutshell for me.

Re: Who will you fellowship with?
I can fellowship anyone who will agree with everything I say.
Thats probably why I have no friends and serve on a commitee of one.

Re: Who will you fellowship with?
How about those who vote for HRC?
Would they qualify for sinners to the core?

If it wasn't for the grace of God and kindness of His followers, I would not be here today. Shame on me if I ever forget the kindness shown to me and shun any backslider for leaving for any reason.
On the flip side, I have seen maltreatment when someone left once, and I'm not surprised that they went to a different church when they did return.
