Why are some members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church not disciplined if Adventists are a good Christians?
Discipline is usually left to the discretion of the local church. Giving discipline is a tough job, and some churches do not like to enforce discipline. This was also a problem in apostolic times.

(See Matthew 13 and the parables of the "Wheat and Tares" and the "Good and Bad Fish".) However, Jesus says at the end of the world the angels will separate the good from the bad.
