Well, I won't be casting stones at anyone, but, I have found out through time that the older I get, the smarter my folks become....I'll stick to their faith and guidance and hope for the best...I got too many roots to pull them up and question them now! If I'm wrong, oh well, I stayed inside the safety barrier for nothing! But if I'm right......

I heard one preacher say it this way....
"I would rather get to the Pearly Gates with a full bucket and have Peter tell me that I have to empty some out than to get there will only half a bucket full and not have enough to get in"
Jesus after teaching was asked "Who then can be saved." Mt.19:25 But on AFF then question is who can be lost. Baptism not essential, tongues a maybe, suck cigarettes and have the HGB, church attendance optional, no tithe paying, pastor is an abomination. Nothing is essential and anything is okay. It is impossible to be lost.
Just goes to show some people are asking the wrong questions.

Translation: I believe in works based salvation, so I need to make sure I do enough works so that I am doing too much works so I am not doing too little works and can't work my way into Heaven.

The middle aged folks often tighten there positions and draw on the faith they were taught by there own parents...
...meanwhile many of those parents, now have mellowed some and wish they had not been so hard nosed...

Well he did not say what was in that bucket... if it is anything other than the faith in the shed blood of Christ, then it's gonna take alot more than a bucket full!
