I don't believe it does. Good Christians are supposed to do as Jesus would and confrontation was not something He did.
We are to be good examples...not finger-pointers.

Well, where in the bible does it say that a "good christian" confronts people in "his honor" by *being* rude and disrespectful?
Many christians are all too willing to adopt Martin Luther's tactics. When christians behave in reprehensible ways, it's hypocritical for them to whine about being called out or met with the same disresepect the christians show to others.
Here are a few gems from the famous jew-hater and founder of protestantism, Martin Ruthless - oops, Martin Luther. So much for being a "good christian", given that his ideas were the most influential on Nazism and also led to evangelical and baptist christianity.
"Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding."
"I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth."
"Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has."
"The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing."
"But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing; though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine. If they give a prince or magistrate a thousand florins, they extort twenty thousand from the subjects in payment. We must ever keep on guard against them."
"If women become tired or even die, that does not matter. Let them die in childbirth--that is why they are there."

The Bible thankfully is not infinitely long as to spell out what our actions should be in every possible situation. Instead Christ has set examples for us.
Take a look at the way Christ confronts the money changers in front of the temple. There you will see how Christ handles those that would disrespect that which is sacred.

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" (2 John 1:9-11).

It don't. But you are to love your neighbor as you love your self. If that person needs the Lord don't give up on them. Pray for them. God Bless!

A gentle answer turns away wrath. I call it righteous indignation. I will continue to defend my faith if necessary. *(*
