Sure, we all can spot the unbeliever who doesn't fluently speak the language of Zion, we can identify the person from doctrinally anemic backgrounds because they keep cutting themselves with the sharp knives in the theology drawer, and of course any Calvinist can sniff out …show more content…
Just like Diotrephes had influence in that congregation so too the unteachable guy no doubt has influence in your local assembly. The influence of an unteachable guy is a vehicle for division.
(4) He is Joy-Robbing: A church that is teachable brings its leaders joy. A church or church member who is not robs them of joy. It's that simple (Hebrews 13.7Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), 10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). I can attest to the fact that this is very true.

Confront where necessary: When there is sin involved Jesus is clear (Matthew 18.15-18Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).
