Sis, this is not uncommon, I have heard of others that have been
blacklisted for non-compliance. There was a fledgling Bible-Study group
here at work that I tried to get into. They were very receptive until I
mentioned baptism and then they moved the meeting site and changed the
day. The isolation we have is not our choice.
Lord Bless,
Bill
PS: remember there will come a time when men will not endure sound
doctrine, but will look for ear-ticklers in ministers.
Br. Clifton one thing we should be thankful for is that we will not be held accountable for them, because they heard the word just like we did, but you know if the spirit doesnt draw them they cannot come. Also unbelief and stubborness is a hinderance. The unbelief cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Sir could we proclaim a day of fasting and prayer for the higher-fire subscribers?
