According to Christ the local congregation.
Revelation 2; 1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he that holdeth the seven
stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst
of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy
works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and
how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Paul make it clear that "fornicators" and this includes homosexuals, should be cast out of a congregation by that congregation. There is no hierarchy beyond each congregation spoken of in the NT Scriptures.
I Corinthians 5;1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
Some verses about false prophets;
Matthew 7:15 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 15:19 - For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
The word "fornication" here is an old English word taken from the original Greek word of "porneio" and substituted the "f" for the "p", but the word means the same as porno, pornography, illicit sex, and includes homosexuality in that understanding.
Matthew 24:11 -And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:24 - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect
2 Peter 2:1 - But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
I Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
