I notice that alot of minister's don't openly call out another ministry by name even if they are in error, and those who would dare to speak the truth against it are considered to be causing strife amongst the brethren. I think the Body of Christ should be made aware of false teachings lest we ourselves become ensnared in them. What do you think ? Should we stay silent and just pray for them, or should we pray and expose them ?
Should A Pastor Openly Rebuke Another Ministry ?

Probably has a lot to do with,
Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Mat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

And how does an unrighteous man judge righteously, man judges from the tree of good and evil, we know not what is right and wrong, what we call good God may well call evil, what we call evil God may well call good, we do not see as He sees. It is Jesus who Judges men, we are not capable.

1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
If we see something that is just wrong...in other words it is probably leading people astray....then yes, I believe we do need to point it out. The problem comes, I think, when this rebuking is done as an example to show our own goodness. We need to be aware, honest and repentant of our own many flaws before we can start pointing our finger. But when it comes down to it...if someone...anyone is teaching something other than scripture...then we must stand up against it...it's what the disciples did and what we are called to do...'contend for the faith'
