Amen, brother Phelps. I too love such intelligent discussions. You seem to be able to carry on one with an even balance. I love it.
Did you pastor a church where Bro. Mooney used to pastor before he moved to Indianpolis several years back?
btw, is that you and two of your boys? If so, it wont be long before they can whoop ol' pop.

Re: Are you sure you're saved?
Here is how to know if you are saved:
3: And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4: He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5: But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6: He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 2:3-6

Yes sir, I did pastor in Muskegon, Michigan where Bro. Mooney was. He's a fine man, and a real friend. I was honored to see him a couple of weeks ago when he came to Omaha to preach a church dedication.
And, those are all three my boys - I'm not in the picture.
I thank God that they are good boys and don't give me any trouble, I wouldn't be able to handle them if they did!

Is that how we discern the real from the others on this board?

Some people seem to think love is a weakness...

IF...IF, we keep His commandments.
I started to quote those scriptures last night.
Unconditional salvation is a deceptive myth that so many seems to be inclined to embrace since that sort of theology does not expose the heart to the searing, hot light of heaven.

Fine looking boys. Any preachers among them?
I had remembered that there was someone by your last name that had pastored one of the two churches there. I forget which one it was.
Yes sir, bro Mooney is a fine man. The last time I saw sister Mooney, she was having some physical problems...back pain if I recall. I trust that she is doing better.
