'They Leave The Church For Wrong Reasons.'
1 John 2:19.
a) We should remember again that Apostle John was a father of the Churches.
b) He wrote with a father's heart.
c) The people who went out of the Church for the incorrect reason(s) did not really belong to the Church.
d) If they belonged to the Church, they would have stayed.
e) They left and it revealed that none of them belonged to the Church.
(Through this QT I understand that They Leave The Church For Wrong Reasons)

'A Wonderful Privilege.'
2 Thessalonians 2:14.
a) Romans 11:29. God has Called us through the Good News of the Gospel.
b) So that we can share.

If they belonged to the Church they would have stayed. Mostly, people who leave the Church are leaving as a form of protest. However they may have been hurt or offended, or whatever misunderstanding there may have been, it would be good if they are, or were, part of the Church, to remain so and deal with any issues in an adult and Biblical way. There is no such thing outside of Heaven as a perfect Church.
