How did we meet?
 
Some of y’all I met on the old FCF. I always posted under my name never a moniker. I met Benicasa, CC1, Pianoman, Newman; Sam and others. I visit here from time to time rarely read most of the threads. If we butted heads on past forums or here I may not remember you? I have been pointed at times and truthfully even ugly I have had to apologize more than once.
I haven’t changed doctrinally at alll I have remained the same in lifestyle and practice. I thought this might be refreshing?

I don't know if it was FCF or nFCF. I remember we did a formal debate on annihilation vs eternal torment. Always enjoyed your posts, I read them whenever you post. Especially when you roll out history. You ought to write a book.

I think I may have met you at a Homecoming or anniversary service at the church in Highlands, Texas several years ago. I think Old Paths was there, too?

We have never met, but you knew my first Pastor, PT McClure.

Thank you for being a strong voice and holding the line, when others have fallen and failed.

Tim and myself were newly weds both of us were in Jacksonville. He went to a UPC church I went to an Independent church. Saw him oft. I came by Melbourne once and saw his building. He was a super nice guy. Sad about his early demise.

By meeting I mean on which forum.

I was not on FCF. From what I've read on here about FCF, it seems I missed some good times.

You certainly did it was the Wild West but with some decorum. :highfive
Lots of brilliant minds from every spectrum of Pentecost. Fudge’s book had just come out. It was an interesting time. Some great discussions took place.

We met here, we have tussled a little bit, I am mostly mellow. I try to keep my line respectful for the most part. I started years ago in the Apostolic Men's Forum.

What church did you attend here in Jax?

My father in law pastored on Old Kings Road out by Dinsmore.

On FCF, but I didn’t like you at all until NFCF. ������
I had to learn that even though you came across as gruff and judgmental at times, you were only being consistent and passionate about what you believe. I appreciate that. Now. At the first, not so much.
I have learned that you are actually a kind man, a good husband, and a loving pastor.

AI realize I was very pointed maybe too pointed it was my first encounter in forum world. I do appreciate y’all’s labor among the mission fields in helping children.

*Honestly - Elder Epley is one of the kindest, gentlemanly, most gracious & sharpest ministers we know. Not just saying this because I know he will read this.

*Wife & I were just discussing what men we felt like we could have confidence in (due to some recent circumstances) - and Elder Epley was the first name my wife mentioned (of course, I immediately agreed :nod).

*If we were saints living in his area we would sit under him in a heart-beat. Now if I could just get him converted over to post-trib. doctrine he might even be fellowship-worthy :happydance :icecream.

I met you Bro. Eply years ago as a teenager when you would come to visit our church, and then here on AFF. Hope you and your family are doing well :)

LOL!!! I can ditto this post. After my first few encounters with Steve Epley on FCF I would have never dreamed we would have become friends (in real life as well as the internet) and that I would have such great respect for him.

If a young preacher insisted on being an ultra con I would want him to be mentored by SE. He has great wisdom about many things.

I cannot remember not knowing who Brother Epley was....I guess because of the friendship with the George family. I agree Brother Epley is a gentleman.

Oh yes...he "ordained" my grand daughter! Lol...we have laughed about that one...such a good man. May God bless him and his sweet wife and awesome church.

It was not a real ordination... just a little joke...we may not see alike on the women preacher but we can be friends and still be different...not everyone can do that!
