I don't do it nearly enough. We are in the country and I don't have a car so with a husband working 70 hours a week, it complicates matters. But when the weather allows it, the kids and I walk to visit and cheer up our nearest neighbors, who are mostly elderly and in bed a lot.
I really should be doing more. He's still working on me....

Sometimes just a phone call does cheer people up.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. Sorry I didnt make myself clear. I'm constantly, looking at things from my perspective, as in what I have to do to save souls. You have to preach the word, but it's up to the receiving person to obey it, you can't force them to obey.
Let's take communion for example, the preacher believes it, will preach it, and is willing and able to serve it and he won't be condemned. But if a person doesn't believe it, doesn't want to do it, the condemnation will lay on the person, not on the preacher. But if the preacher goes and take what's laid out for communion, and force them to take it, by putting it in their mouth, he'll be condemned.
The same with baptism, you have to do it and preach it, and everyone must get baptised, but he can't go and start grabbing the person, and forcing them in the water without their consent. Let the condemnation fall on them, not you.
Anyway, even if that new saint is in the wrong, you don't know if or how God is dealing or working on that saint, and you don't want to be rash, and let your lack of judgment turn them away. There's always a right way to say and do things.

In the Greek, the word which is translated as "kiss" in Romans 16:16, 1st Corinthians 16:20, 2nd Corinthians 13:12, 1st Thessalonians 5:26, and 1st Peter 5:14, literally means a "friendly," or "brotherly" kiss. Still, it is just not any "friendly" or "brotherly" kiss, but a HOLY friendly, brotherly kiss.
Something like what you would receive from your dad, mom, Peepaw and Meemaw.

Now this is a profound one liner.

Who here is a real Apostolic?
Who here really believes the message?
|
Most of us here believe the teachings of the Apostles. So...all of us? Very few followers of men are left here though. I find that to be a good thing.

And you are qualified to be the judge of that how? Do you know these people?
