THE EXCLUSIVITY QUESTION (LUKE 9:49–50)
You see, Scripture tells us that unlike the unfortunate sons of Sceva in Acts 19:13–16, this man actually was driving out demons in Christ’s name.
The man described in Luke 9:49 was bearing good fruit! I don’t think John had a problem with the man’s results. He had a problem with his rivalry. John took issue with the fact that the man wasn’t one of them.
We make the outrageous assumption that if someone else is not like us or among us, he or she isn’t one of us.
