How does God discipline believers who refuse to come back and keep sinning?
God begins with discipline, then stronger chastisement or a whipping. If a believer still refuses to return and keeps sinning, God may take them out of this life early—not as loss of salvation, but to stop reproach on His name. Grace does not permit continued sin.
Les explains that God knows how to discipline better than human parents. He starts with discipline; if that does not work, He gives a good old whipping. If a believer still refuses to come back and bring honor to God's glory, they are 'out of here'—taken out early. Les has seen it happen. He clarifies they are not lost; God takes them out so they no longer bring reproach to His name. This does not mean teaching free will permits sin because grace is greater. No one gets away with it, for God will not let His name be dragged through the mud of this world.
