Where do we draw the line? The line for what? Sin is sin, and some sins are far worse than others. But we should address the real point here -- Is there any sin(s) by God's children too great for God to forgive? Too horrible for the sacrifice of His Son on the cross? Too grave that God would be forced to send His child to the lake of fire?

I'd like to know where you stand on this. Maybe we should have had this discussion long ago.
Sorry I should have specified. I meant in the context of when do you start confronting the brother since you said you realized you shouldn't have confronted the smoking brother which was the right call IMO. For example: Would you confront a brother if he was trying to defraud the saints of money?

And also in the case that they don't repent when confronted, I was asking if we should still accept them as a brother and child of God.

This scripture comes to mind:

Matthew 18:17 (NLT)
If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won't accept the church's decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
