Hi Bill. I too would like to welcome you to this forum. You will discover that I am a " sometimer" here, but I have been on here and have known Pilgrim for about 10 years now. As a matter of fact, Pilgrim was one of God's main instruments in bringing me to the doctrines of sovereign grace while I was in the Free Will Baptist Association. The only thing I would like to add to the discussion is to ask you if you are in a solid bible believing, expository preaching church that is not ashamed to proclaim the blessed doctrines of sovereign grace when they come up in the text? Currently, I'm the pastor and fellow elder of Grace Fellowship in Mountain Home, ID. If you're interested, check out our church website at: www.gracefellowshipmh.org. There you will find some more articles, mp3 sermons, and links to some great websites including this one :-). I/we can also point you in the direction to several church directories to help you find a church in your area like I described above, if there is one there. To God be the glory!
