So what you're saying is that the Rabbi who attended my church should have been expelled because he had no interest in conversion.

So what you're saying is that the Rabbi who attended my church should have been expelled because he had no interest in conversion.

It depends. Was he "just visiting"? If so, or even if regularly attending, then of course he should be welcome. But if he wanted to be formally listed on the membership roll and take communion while at the same time insisting on his "right" to deny central tenets of your faith (perhaps the divinity of Christ or the existence of the Holy Trinity), then yes, he should be politely told that formal membership and communion are only for those who believe what the church teaches.

Why would anyone want to belong to something they don't support? There is no "right" to church membership.

Since I do not believe what the Episcopal church teaches I surrendered my membership.

The gay guy in this case was just looking for an issue and publicity and he found it.

[Prov3456]

That is not for us to judge. If he was worshipping the one true God (and we have to assume since he was a Rabbi that he was), then God could reach him with the truth of the Messiah. If your church kicked him out, you would be in danger of becoming a "stumbling block" to the Rabbi's conversion to the true Messiah (ie. Messanic Jews).

Just my opinion....

Wasn't the Rabbi who attended your Church an "unofficial" member? To actually "join" the Church he would've had to have been Baptised and Confess Jesus.

The rabbi is not attempting to be a member of the church, right? Admits to not being a member and is not trying to pass himself off as one? These aren't even comparable cases.
