If you're not aware, "Timmy" is a poster on AFF that describes himself as an "Agnostic" or a "Deist" with leanings toward being a "Deist." He comes from a pentecostal background.
I like Timmy. He's kind, gentle, understanding, non-confrontational, knows the bible very well, dependable, and consistent. Recently, I had a personal crisis that could have been devastating, and Timmy was one of the first I contacted. I didn't ask him to pray but I said, "If you ever would, I could sure use it." I trust him.
He also has a great understanding of the church and how it operates. He sees the power of community and has some great perspectives of the redemptive potential of the church. I haven't asked what he does for a living but I get the impression his business sense is very good.
So I once told Timmy I wish he lived here in my area and would love to have him in our church (we openly embrace those who don't wear the label of "Christian") and if he did I'd have him on our church board.
I mentioned it in another thread today and that idea didn't exactly go over very well.
So....what do you think. Would you have him on your church board considering the qualities I mentioned?
Nah, his user info lists one of his favorite activities as "beer"... unless it changed recently.
Sorry... ahem...
Timmy has some very good qualities, you are right. However, I have very little idea of what he actually believes or would be comfortable with, so I would refrain until I knew him better on that level.

I've never met him in person and there are some things I don't know. So yeah, I'd need to know him "better." I agree. But I'm saying, based on what I know....
Timmy is my friend......we donīt have a church board....
Timmy s a very nice person and would like to meet him someday. I really donīt think he would care to be on a church board...
You know, it's a legitimate point. I've never said, "Timmy, would you?" So what about it Timmy? Without giving me an absolute answer, would you ever be interested in being on our church board, knowing what you know about our church?
Unfortunately, boards are required in the U.S. I say "unfortunately" because it often ends up being a bad situation.
And just kiddin'. Let the conversation continue, as if I hadn't said that. IOW, knowing what you know about me, would you? And as now mentioned in the other thread, what Biblical principles would you use to say no (if you'd say no)?
