22. Agree with you, that the Church needs to do a lot more self-policing
within its ranks than it sometimes does. There is no excuse for Christians allowing the likes of Benny Hinn, Falwell, even Jim Bakker, etc., to serve as leaders of the church when they are obviously in the wrong. Further, when a leader falls into sin, he must be removed. Too much liberal interpretation of scripture often has these leaders continue in their roles for the sake of "Christian forgiveness." There must be forgiveness, yes, but also consequences.
