Amen Brother! You are right about that. God CAN do whatever pleases him, 
however, we CANNOT. We must be obedient to the word no matter what "we 
think" the outcome may be. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone that 
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but 
he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." What is the 
will of God? I know baptism in Jesus name is. I know recieving the Holy 
Ghost is. I know repentance is. I know living a holy life before God is. 
I know studying the word is. My goal is the same as Jesus': "...for I do 
always those things that please him." John 8:29.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,
