How long were you a Pentecostal?
I was involved with the UPC for over 35 years.

He that winneth souls is wise, Brother B. It is interesting to note that although Jesus actually knew who was in hell, He didn't go about declaring who was. He only spoke of the rich man who remained nameless actually being in hell. I can't think of any other instance.

Certainly one could make an educated guess about such matters based on the product of a person's life and their history, but in reality I don't see the profit of, nor the favor of God on such declarations. If these men are in eternal torment, what benefit is there stating so?Let us spend our time convincing people that they don't want to go there, convincing them of Christ's love and salvation made available for them.

Brother B, some things may be true, but that doesn't mean it is wise to utter such words.

Yes, there is a true statement from the heart of God. Thank you for sharing and I hope it reaches those it was intended to.

Yes Jon & Myles are great friends. They are also young, talented, and have a bright future. I wish them well and if they indeed leave the UPC we are NOT better off without them. It's our LOSS. They come from great stock!
