Bible Texts:
Our Lord is in the rescuing and restoring business...
Galatians 6:1,2 KJV
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill The Law Of Christ.
(Dear Christian friend, please note the following:
Paul here speaks of restoring someone to faith, this is “not,” speaking of that persons office they once may have held!
That is, they should be restored to faith, but that does not necessitate them being restored to any spirituaal office, they may have once held!)
Matthew 18:11-13 KJV
11 For The Son Of Man is come to save that which was lost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Warnings To Spiritual Workers:
Jude 1:22,23 NLT
22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.
23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.
The Great Commission:

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit.

John 5:24 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Acts 4:12 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
