Titus 3:10-11

[10] A man  that is an heretick  after  and  second  admonition  reject;  [11] Knowing  that  he that is such  is subverted,  and  sinneth,  condemned of himself. 

What does Titus 3:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

If a false teacher who engendered faction rather than unity by his teaching refused to change his ways after one or two warnings, Titus should have nothing more to do with him (cf. Matthew 18:15-17). [1] The reason for this rejection is that the false teacher is not straight in his thinking, he is sinning, and he is self-condemned. If such a person refuses to judge himself, God will judge him ( 1 Corinthians 11:31-32). I believe all the leaders of God"s people should follow this instruction; Paul evidently did not intend it only for Titus. Church leaders should give ministry by such a false teacher no platform in the church.
"The significance of refuting false teaching in this letter is indicated by Paul"s direct attack on factious men at the beginning of the letter ( Titus 1:10 ff.) and now at its conclusion ( Titus 3:9-11). His outstanding theological statements ( Titus 1:1-4; Titus 2:11-15; Titus 3:3-7) provide the "sound doctrine" that motivates believers to "good works" and makes the gospel "attractive" to a lost world. In contrast, the false teachers with their erroneous teaching motivate their followers to works that in essence "deny" a true knowledge of God ( Titus 1:16) and destroy the doctrinal unity of the church."
