Accountability Before God

Those who refuse to be accountable to other believers are walking in stubbornness. They are more concerned about being praised and elevated in the eyes of others than they are in pleasing God and being a blessing to others.

Be sure that accountability is based on truth and not personal opinion or guesses about circumstances.

Also everything must be evaluated on the basis of Scripture not on human traditions or personal desires.

James 5:16 "
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."

Those who do not want to be accountable very often are those doing the most judging on small matters. They do this because they want to hide, avoiding accountability themselves. Narcissists always accuse and attack their targets to take the spotlight off of their own flaws.
