10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. 2 John 1:10-11 Should Christians welcome Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons into their homes when they come to their door? Does St. John forbid us from greeting them? Here is a very short Bible study trying to put these words into today's context with the help of 2 and 3 John and the Didache.  Christforus.org
