Thank you. 1 Corinthians 14:29 (in context) has NOTHING to do with admonishing one for a false belief or interpretation of Scripture. Paul didn’t rebuke Peter on the matter of doctrine or interpretation of Scripture. He rebuked him on a personal decision (not to eat with certain people). So that analogy doesn’t fit either. Matthew 18:17 is probably the passage you are looking for and that passage makes clear that The Church elders do the “judging” on who is to be treated as a pagan or tax collector.
If Scripture is so clear on it’s own then why have men, for 2,000 years, been arguing about the lack of clarity in it? After all, look at all that “clarity” the Protestants DON’T have. None of them agree with the other and they all think they are right.
What is a "Prophet"? What is a "Teacher"? -- There are False Prophets and False Teachers, and we MUST hold BOTH accountable for their FALSE TEACHINGS.
And as an example of holding each other accountable, Paul rebuked PETER A DISCIPLE for his HYPOCRISY which is CONTRARY to SCRIPTURAL TEACHINGS. And to go a little further, Ananias and Sapphira BOTH dropped DEAD at Peter's feet.
Perhaps you have a different agenda than me.
