Sorry, Ksen, but that is to INDIVIDUALS within an apostate church.

ANY man = EACH person

What does Jesus REQUEST of EACH of them?

True, but Jesus limits the group of people He is speaking to in verse 19:

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent.

Hebrews 12 makes it clear that God only rebukes and chasten those who are already His children.

Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

He 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

He 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

It is His children that are in need of repentance that He is inviting to sup with Him in restored fellowship.
