That would be a human talking, not God's love in action.

Yes and no. I guess it Depends on the situation. Cause there are people who divides the church and there is a verse in the bible that says warn a divisive person twice and after that have nothing to do with that person. But for the main part If it just because they have no reason to back it up with out the deacons/elder's or the churches permission they should have no right to tell that person to not come back again.

Depends upon the offence. If someone stands up in the middle of worship and declares theres no God and we are all fools, I would say that its grounds for removal from the congregation. Physically threatening another parisioner would probably get you in trouble too. But commiting a sin, or a problem with appearance, well, thats something that a pastor should help resolve, not just kick someone out for.

If it's for political reasons...no. Otherwise, if the individual is purposely disrupting events in the church; then that pastor has every right to do so.
Furthermore, I have to agree with an earlier post...it really isn't a very christian act to ban anyone from service. It's the equivalent of trying to "shut off the kingdom of heaven" to someone.

The Pastor has that right! It's his church! But in order to judge whether the Pastor had grounds to do this, you will have to tell us more details about the situation!!!!!

Every one has the right to their thought and decisions. If there is a meaningful reason anything is possible. But in the eyes of the church I think it would have to come as a decision as a whole not just one person.

When I was 10 we went to a Southern Independent Baptist church. It was really strict. One cold day a gal came in to warm up wearing jeans and a tee shirt. I was in the stall of the bathroom and she came into wash up. One of the deacons wives approached her (on behalf of the men) and told her that if she could not wear a dress to church, then she was not welcome back.
My dad divorced my mom a few years later and the Pastor went to his house and told him the deacons had voted him out of the church...different church, same critical holier than thou politics.

If he feels that the person in question is a detriment to his congregation, it is his duty to do so. He is the shepherd of his flock and his responsibility is to protect them.

If he feels the member is disruptive and detrimental to his flock he should, yes. It is his job to protect his flock.
