Central AC System installers should get a free pas. I mean we work in the winter to give you people heat. We swelter in the heat (often in attics) in summer to keep you people cool. And we rarely ever get to enjoy the fruits of our labors. So...really...can we vote on this?
If Chimney Sweeps get a pass, then their distant and more technically inclined AC cousins should get a pass too.
Sorry man. It is a narrow pass and there is no more room on this perch.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
While I don't proclaim to subscribe to the light doctrine I do believe that there are some individuals that due to certain circumstances are sure to make heaven no matter their doctrincal beliefs.
I have no biblical proof of this doctrine and so offer no defense of it. I do offer up some of my canidates for this doctrinre;
PEOPLE GOING TO HEAVEN REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL DOCTRINE:
1. Person who invented air conditioning.
2. Person who discovered chocolate
3. Person who invented ice cream
4. Person who invented "frying" as a form of cooking foods. In particular chicken.
5. Person who invented the hot water heater
6. Thomas Edison and others who either invented or worked to perfect electricity.
I am sure there are more in this special catagory but at this time of night these are the ones that come to mind.
Who are your candiates?
This is exactly what I told a 'light doctrine' doctrine believer if I am going to give a pass to someone it is the guy who invented air conditioning.
Yeah, bad luck Stephen, the vote being taken in July and all. Maybe you could try again this winter! (But, that a/c guy handles central heating too, I'm afraid.)

Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp--
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics, the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
You must've made a mistake.
"And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."

Hey, that's a thought! What if what happens to you when you die is exactly what you think will happen? You guys will all go to a wonderful, sinless, trouble-free place, with 24x7 shockamoo or whatever. I'll cease to exist. Hindus will reincarnate. Etc. etc.
Just a thought.
