(I found it pretty starnge that Ronnie has not responded in a while. I do hope it is not him as I would hate to see him die while not truly in the FAITH!)

Nope, I'm still here. I still come to the board but people seem to have lost interest in having discussions anymore.

By the way, who says that the Ronnie DePriest who died was not in the faith? How can you attempt to condemn a man that you don't even know and that you've never met?

None of us sits on the judgement seat.
