1 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | Mommapbs | 76705 | ||
Greeting sniper - Cyclist explained his situation to you and he has responded to your original query. I suspect that Cyclist was resistent to correction or admonishment from you because he doesn't know anything about you or your faith in Jesus. You could rememdy that by filling out your personal profile! Secondly, as you have shown, there is no such thing a "seniority" but there is such a thing as maturity. As you pointed out, the qualifications for an elder are a litmus test of sorts for one who is more mature than others in the body. No, this does not mean that in age they are elder, nor does it have anything to do with the length of time that they have been believers. I know many "elderly men" who have been believers for many years but are immature in their faith. Indeed, we do need leaders who are devoted to following the LEADER! My "Senior" Pastor is a man who is almost 20 years younger than me. I respect him as the leader of our body, but I do not always agree with him. On one ocassion, as led by the Lord, I challenged him about something that he had done. Just because he is an elder in the Lord to me, he is not above being accountable to me as a co-heir in Jesus! We all have a responsibility to be accountable to one another as unto the Lord. The student is not above the teacher, yet after the student has been trained, he shall be like his teacher. Luke 6:40 After participating here for a while, there are those Froum members who I consider to be more mature in their faith than others. I read their posts with great interest, eager to know more of what God is speaking into their lives. As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another. Proverbs 27:17. I suspect that our brother Cyclist has been duly sharpened. Blessings in Jesus, mommapbs |

mommapbs, The joy of my Lord fills my heart so that it dances before Him! The joy of my Lord fills my heart and makes my face shine with glee before Him! It is a priviledge to enjoy the gift of the joy of my Lord! Blessed be the Lord forever! Thank you for the nice remarks in your post. Blessings to you! Always your brother in prayer, in praise, and the Lord Jesus Christ, David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
