When I was in the LRC I soon learned that there were some "vain talkers", the people who taught others to "parrot" Witness Lee for example. I took the approach to ignore them, I thought that a head on confrontation was not wise. However, here Paul says "there mouths must be stopped" and I now see that their word spread as gangrene so that the church was put under some stupid Judaizer law of everyone being a parrot of Witness Lee, a concept straight from the concision all for filthy lucre's sake.

If you ask how do you "stop their mouths" seeing as those that did confront these ones were disciplined, maligned and booted. It seems obvious that the proper approach is

Heb
11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

The antidote to mindless parroting is clearly a word of faith.

Paul says to "reprove them sharply" because this testimony is true. His point is they should be reproved sharply for gluttony, sloth, lies and evil deeds.

The LRC is not "sound in the faith". To allow a man with the character of PL to be in an oversight position of the ministry is a symptom of their error. To allow and even finance the unruly behavior of lawsuits is a symptom. To allow vain talkers to convince everyone to mindlessly parrot WL's words is a symptom.

Giving ear to this "Jewish fable" about MOTA's is a symptom.

To heed commandments, like "one city one church" from men that turn from the faith is a symptom. The items of the Christian faith are very plainly written in the NT and "one city one church" is not one of them. Likewise, the "ground" of the church is also very clear in the NT, the ground that Jesus is building His church on was purchased with Jesus' sin offering on Calvary. To deny that the redeemed of the Lord are the ground is to turn from the faith.

Being blinded because these ones "profess to know God" while they are denying God by their works is a symptom.
