What church did you attend here in Jax?

Re: How did we meet?

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 ).

*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 .

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.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: How did we meet?

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.

Re: How did we meet?

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!
